Does anyone have experience rolling this Moda Home Vintage Repro. Laundry Basket on wood floors? Do the wheels damage wood floors from multiple laundry trips? Are the wheels the 'softer type' that will not mar wood floors? thanks all

I have wood floors and the wheels on the Moda Home Vintage Repo Laundry Basket roll effortlessly. There is no damage to the floors. Remember, this is a reproduction of an old design, so everything is new and up to today's modern standards of usage, not a vintage, albeit "as is" item.

Mine gets heavy use (a couple of loads of laundry every 2-3 days) and it has not fallen apart for me. I have had it for about 3-4 months as well and it has not lost shape or deteriorated in any way. I am careful, however, when I collapse it to push in all of the corners equally until the rods move smoothly. I don't try to force it.

They look very similar. Our Seville model has locks on only 2 wheels which I have not needed to use. I can't tell on the Honey-Can-Do model how many wheels may have locks. The Seville model does have a sturdy wire rack type shelf under the laundry bags which is reassuring; if the bags get overloaded & heavy I do not worry about them tearing off the handles. Altho that would take a LOT of laundry. I am very happy with our unit which I roll in & out of the bathroom every laundry day with no trouble at all. If this broke for some unknown reason, I would buy another.

Yes, the wheels screw into a threaded support that is flat on the bottom. My concern would be that if the unit is moved it will scratch the floor. Two of the wheels have a locking mechanism, which pretty much keeps it in place. The unit I bought is actually the larger version with a top shelf and a rod to hang-up clothes coming-out of the dryer.

I have hardwood floors throughout my home and I have not had any problems with the wheels marring the floors. The wheels are not a soft spongy rubber, but a nice smooth plastic that should not harm your floors.

The casters, any other wheels for this matter, are not good to wheel about on carpets. I use mine on wooden floor. On carpets, I get those thick transparent plastic sort of rug under desk. If you don't protect your rug carpet, it will soon get ruined. Besides wheeling about, on carpet, becomes annoying. I hope this gives you an informed decision.

The Sterilite baskets are garbage. The handles broke off of ours within a few months. I have a Rubbermaid 2978 laundry basket that is in PERFECT shape after 15 years of use, but they are discontinued. :(

I put the wheels on but it stays in the same place in our laundry room. I could have left them off. I say if you are not going to move it a lot then it is your option of whether to put them on or not. I believe it would work fine without them.

The wheels are a hard rubber. I rolled around on my driveway, garage floor and my tile kitchen floor. The wheels did not leave marks anywhere. I would guess it would be okay on wood floors as well. Hope that helps.

Hi, we have had ours for 3 months and I washed it once after a coffe spill. I had the stain for few weeks and it went away in "delicate" machine wash. When I fold my pram I put plastic bag between the organised and the wheel. It is a great product!

You've got me there, Steve. I just throw mine in the washer with regular detergent then into the dryer with fabric softener sheets. They come out fine. If you have more than one pad, why don't you try the S20 Laundry Detergent sheets (I have never heard of these sheets) on it an see what happens. One thinkg you might do is change the speed of the washing machine. I tend to wash mine on a gentler cycle the first few times just to see how they do. If I have been of no help (which won't be a surprise to me), try emailing the manufacturer and asking them. Personally, I think you are safe using your sheets but try them on one first...just to be safe. Polly You've got me there, Steve.

You will be happy with this purchase, the wheels on here are like on a rolling chair, it should roll very nice.I hope this helps, oh and use glue when putting this together sometimes the top gets loose and you have to reinstall.

I have the queen size and washed it in my home washer. My washer is large capacity top loader. It was a tight fit, but do-able. I also dried it in my dryer set on low heat and then fluffed it on the air cycle.

We've had no problems with the wheels yet. We use it almost daily around the house. The handle is a little wobbly, but I think that's more due to how I assembled it. Haven't taken the time to try to correct that. So far really happy with it.

I do not have any wood floors.But I looked at the underside of the unit. It has the two large wheels in the rear, which have what appears to be a soft rubber replaceable tread (like a thin tire tread) on the outer part of the wheel. Those wheels should be fine. The front part of the unit slides on a thin plastic type strip which also appears to be replaceable. I would guess that as long as you do not have any gravel or small hard items that the plastic strip would push along in front of it, you would probably be OK.
