Save your flooring and get these amzn.to/3dAC2Y4 or amzn.to/2QXZTZW (US link) or amzn.to/31uR8Xy (Canada link)
An easy, cheap, and elegant way to prevent damage to hardwood flooring by using these casters. I use it on my Herman Miller Aeron chair and have had zero issues. The gliding is smooth and feels solid. This is WAY better than the stock plastic cheap wheels that come with a $1500 office chair and this solution is much cheaper than upgrading.

Update: These caster wheels are going strong. I LOVE them. They feel so good and I def. recommend everyone who has an office chair to upgrade. Paying for an upgrade through Herman Miller was way too expensive! What do you think?

I bought a set on AliExpress for a very low price (~$10), they look exactly like yours, but the wheels are too smooth, the chair won't stay still, possibly because I'm light weight, so I had to change back to the original wheels.

Great pro tip! However, I have those same wheels but my 10 year old LAMINATE floors need replacing especially where my office chair is. The joints in the flooring have cracked due to the wheels rolling over them. I'm putting in new VINYL floors this month but I will be getting a floor mat because all 3 floor stores I went to suggested it. Real HARDWOOD floors might be different though. Cheers.

As I’ve just ordered a new chair I started looking into mats since we have wood floors and we’re renting. I saw something I hadn’t realized which is that the mats themselves can damage the floors underneath and cause discoloration. I saw one recommendation for felt covered castors. Has anyone tried the felt castors vs these in line or any other rubber castors?

They also make versions with a locking brake, which would alleviate the accidental rolling thing. Once you're in a position just lock the wheels.

One thing I learn from this video is, the caster in my chair must have been broken. It's a new Amazon basis office chair that I just received and I started searching for caster replacement the instant I assembled and sat on it. It's not just making noises, it doesn't move smoothly at all. The wheels feel like stuck when I try to move around and take me to the wrong direction just like those broken shopping carts. I thought it's due to the hardwood floor which I have never used before because each single wheel seems in good shape when it's bearing no weight, but I guess that's not the issue at all after watching your video.

@tianrongzhang2522 Жыл бұрын

OK. I guess one highly possible reason is that the apartment comes with a textured hardwood flooring which has tiny ridges everywhere. Why! I disklike this place the momoent I moved in (didn't have a chance to visit in person when signing the lease). I have been trying to make peace with it but annoying things juts keep poping up.

I bought a new chair and purchased a set of this type of wheel for it so my hardwood floor wouldn’t get scratched up. Only issue we’ve had is the chair moving when you try to sit down. My boyfriend went to sit in it the other night and it flew out from underneath him. Don’t know whether to put original wheels on it or put a mat on floor under it 🤷🏼‍♀️ really don’t want to do either. Is there any way to slow them down?

I highly advise not to buy these type of wheels, there is a good reason why chairs don't includes them (they dont want to be sued). Pretty much only disposable compagnies from amazon sells them. They are serious safety hasards (they can pinch severely your foot if you don't wear shoes), I had to go get stitches on my foot because it got crushed, I gave a hard push to test the wheels on my hardfloor and my foot got compressed between the wheel (rolling and compressing upward) and the sharp wheel's metal frame. The pain was serious.
