Do these casters last longer than the original plastic ones?

I have had them for 4 months. The reason I bought them was that they were softer, and didn't scratch the wood floor. Good price, good value.

I guess it depends on the chair and how it is used. I bought these for large, heavy conference room chairs; and so far they are holding up better that the standard replacement casters that we have bought in the past. If you have heavy chairs and/or heavy people, I would recommend trying these. The original casters on my large conference room chairs were not plastic; they were brass and other metal(s). The metal ones lasted many years. I tried some other standard plastic replacement casters, and they all broke within weeks or months. So far (over a year), none of these have failed.

I really can not say have only had these casters for a month. I do like them so far. Prior to this I have had the chair and original casters for 4 years.

I've had mine since the first week of October (2013) and they are used quite alot everyday. They don't look any different than they did the day I put them on the chair. My expectation is that they will serve well as long as the chair lasts (and its a good leather office chair).

I don't see why not. They are identical to the standard wheel your chair probably came with, but the plastic (greyish in the picture) is slightly softer/more rubbery than the standard caster.

No. It is plastic, however, these seem to be a little more durable than the originals.

I bought these wheels a few months ago. The small gear has metal teeth, but the inner wheel teeth were hard plastic, like the original wheels. The original wheels lasted 17+ years with weekly lawn mowing use. I'll be happy if I get half that with these replacement wheels.

These are replacement caster for a wide variety of office chairs. The caster stems have a c clip on them.You can use them in a DIY project by drilling a hole the diameter of the stem, then using a light weight mallet to drive the casters in the hole you drilled. The C-clip on the stem will compress enough to fit snugly. The bottom of the stem has a base so the hole should not exceed that diameter to allow the plastic caster to rotate freely.

Yes. They are stem casters that you should be able to pop out & then replace as need be. Hope this has been helpful.

Hard for me to remember. I have the organizer in the attic. The casters as I recall screw in and are solid. I would use what is with the product before replacing. Probably a plastic tab. But have had it for over a year and still solid with nothing broken.

In my opinion, yes. They last just as long and perform just as good. I hope this helps!

No they are not, but with over a year of use I have had no issues with this coming apart or otherwise. I have a feeling this product, like cast iron, will last for at least a lifetime.

Don't know, I haven't had to replace them. But it's my understanding they last or thousands of hours.

The caster wheels are plastic, probably for easier rolling. The stem is 13/16". Hope this helps.

Don't know but if I may make a suggestion. Contact www.precisionpet.com (They have contact on website) and ask if they have replacement casters. Another idea is to take one to Menards, Home Depot, etc. to see if they have some that are very similar that you can use. My guess if you find it at one of these locations it would be inexpensive.

It depends on how much you use it. Mine lasted a lot longer than 2 years. But I used it even after they become somewhat worn. The replacements were very easy to install and work great.

I don't know. I got them for my desk chair with arms. The only name I could find on the chair is "True Seating Concepts". I could not find the casters to fit in any local store. After much trial and error, I went on-line, and using the exact measurements of the old stem, found this one that fits perfectly. I bought a set so they would all be new, but saved the three unbroken old ones in case of another breakdown.

Well... they don't disintegrate and they're largely plastic. I can't speak to their buoyancy or whether the metal axle will rust though.

the only thing I can tell you is that I had a plastic one before I replaced with the cast iron andit lasted almost 10 years. Both worked well.

...if u can find the appropriate replacement then sure. The casters are nice quality and don't think they would scratch. Having legs that don't roll might scratch the floor even more? Or just glue the casters so that they can't roll...
