The casters are terrible. Has anyone found replacements?

I posted a more lengthy answer on a similar question in June - but basically I used Sugru to hold open the wheel locks - it's been working for about 4 months! I've tried lots of other solutions, all worked for a very short time, this seems to be really working.

I couldn't agree more! I accidentally lock them all day everyday. There is a site http://www.coolcasters.com that sells lots of casters so I'm sure we can find replacements there. Good Luck-getting new casters is on my to do list TODAY!

I didn't have problems with the casters...my only issue was the locks on the casters. But I ripped those puppies out, and haven't had issues since.

i never looked for replacements but i did break the locking mechanisms off the wheels which helps a little. Still doesn't roll well but at least the wheels don't lock out all of the time. OK chair but there are probably better options out there....

If you take the caster to a home improvement store(to match size) you can find replacements pretty easily. I didn't have an issue with this item but have had to replace them in the past for other furniture

First choice, contact the company from which you bought the casters. This will not be the first time that they have heard this lament. If they're cool, they may just send you a replacement. Worst case, they sell you a packet of (4) sockets. Second choice, go online and search for sellers that offer sockets. I did this once and was able to find a seller that offered both caster kits and standalone socket packets. Can't remember the name of this seller. Since the range of caster types and sizes is quite broad, it may be a long shot that a hardware or home improvement store would have your specific socket in stock.

Casters are built in. They don't add that much height. Love this unit, it really is awesome !

I have had no issues with my wheels; however, I am not rough with my equipment. Replacement would require that you be a little handy with tools. You can find caster wheels at Lowe's , Home Depot or here at Amazon.

Yes you can replace the casters. I had to as the ones that came with it were cheap and broke on install. Just ensure you match the stem diameter.

to "adjust" the height you could leave the casters off, remove one of the column support sections or as a drastic action hack-saw the column support slightly shorter. It does not have infinite adjustment settings.

I didn't find them much different (I think the other descriptions are pretty accurate) except that they picked up hair/grit worse than the standard casters did. I felt like they caused as much damage as the old wheels, because the "soft" surface was soon rough from the dust/grit they had accumulated. :( I had to wash them, weekly, to keep them relatively clean- but that didn't change the fact that they were permanently pitted/marred by grit.

Jet sells mobile bases for most of their cabinet machines. I would look into that rather than trying to rig casters on.

They click on. Super easy to install. I'm not sure what kind of other casters you have. But if they have some sort of clicking mechanism then maybe???

You probably could - I think the biggest problem would be finding casters that would fit, I don't know where you would look for them.

Yes. I had to replace a wheel the day I got it. One of the casters broke the first time the chair was used. This chair is very uncomfortable and cheaply made. I would suggest buying a different chair.

No. The casters broke on mine and I cannot find any replacements. Don't buy the chair.

I assume you mean wheels. Any caster that comes with a 3/8 inch bolt for screwing in should work. Remove one of the adjustable feet and take to a hardware store. Shouldn't be a problem to match the thread on a caster.

The packaging was damaged on arrival. The casters are inferior, flimsy. Unpacking i saw a small gray plastic piece obviously broken from somewhere. Assembled i could not find where it might have come from, but once I sat in the chair I found out. It was the tiniest part of a caster, but crucial; the caster came off right away. The chair became unstable, and unusable. And I had paid the higher price to replace a chair which likewise had bad caster. Thus I most certainly do not recommend this product.

I have to qualify my last answer. I replaced the rolling casters with gliders, so yours will be higher. Sorry, I forgot about that.

They may fit in the caster, however, my experience was that my bed kept rolling out of them. I found them worthless.
