Would it be possible to remove the legs and install casters instead?

Yes, you could. The legs are only 3-4" blocks that are screwed on to the underside of the main console.

It would have to be built up where the casters are involved. And not partical board.

Yes, the legs attach to the bottom. Depending on what you have on top of it, the weight of it may not hold up with casters however.

Forget about casters. Use those furniture sliders instead. No holes to drill, no possibility of splitting the wood legs.

Gilmore & Paul covered this well. I would add that the casters are really only suitable for modest duty cycle unless you are on tile or wood floor.

The casters actually have to be installed; they come in a separate bag. So, you should have no problems.

Yes..just don't install either of them.Can't speak to the stability of not having the casters in though..

Yes. Removing the casters will reduce the height by 11/16" (0.67 in) (1.8 cm).

Yes. There are dozens of screws and it will take some time. Not necessarily difficult, but it took me a few hours altogether. The primary difficulty is that relatively few of the screw holes are pre-drilled, so you will need to make pilot holes. And that is not always easy because the screws are frequently in tight corners. That said, it is quite solid when finally assembled. I also added casters by drilling holes in the feet and it looks great.

Not sure you can do that. the front to back feet are solid tubing with only plastic endcaps on them. Prob. would need to drill through and then not sure it would work. Why don't you try to find one that says it can have casters?

I suppose so, but casters would need to be exact diameter or they would wobble in holes designed for the poles

You can remove the casters, but they are fastened by screws on the outsides of the legs. You might be able to use wood filler and stain the area to match.

Correction to my answer: The casters account for 4 inches of the height. I am assuming the casters could be removed if you want a lower height and don't want to move it around.

The wheels screw into the bottom of the frame using a bolt integrated into the caster. Without the wheels, I believe the frame would sit flat on the floor just fine, so I think not attaching the wheels would be an option.

the leg itself is 3/4in by3/4in. at an angle as shown. the holes are blocked by rubber feet that can be removed. I've seen casters that will fit in square tubbing. so if you can find that small of a caster end yes or if you can ram a square block of wood and drill a hole in it then put a caster arm in wood. it would work. casters can't have fenders on them like some do though.

It would be easy to remove as it is assembleb. However would probably impact the stability of the side legs!!

This is very well built and heavy piece of furniture so I do not believe casters would work well with this particular piece.

No, but I would imagine you could purchase casters and install them rather easily. This item is a great value. Good quality for the price.

Yes, you can add casters. I just went down to my local Tractor Supply and picked some up. They bolted right on. Not sure about the width of the plate though, it is out on a job.
