- 2 Inch Swivel Ball Caster Wheels for Furniture - Bright Chrome Hooded Stem Casters with 5/16 Threaded Stem - 300 lbs. Total Capacity - Set of 4 – Service Caster Brand

Ok so I have an expensive office chair & recently replace my carpet with super plush “silk strand” style carpeting. I didn’t want my casters ruining my new carpet & I dislike using the terrible plastic mats. So I replaced the casters on my chair.I was going to try those rollerblade style caters but those seem better suited for hard floors, I was scared that the minimal contact points would cut up my expensive carpet even worse than the original plastic ones.I chose these because they are made of what appears to be hard plastic or rubber. They have wide 2 inch contact points with the carpet that spread out the weight of the chair & my body over more surface area so they don’t tear up my carpet.In reality I would give these 4.5 stars because they are still a bit on the smaller side, I wish they were 3 or 4 inches. This would spread the weight out even more & allow them to roll better on my carpet. These do roll well with the empty chair but with my weight on the chair (180 lbs) it is more difficult to slide around but not impossible. So I slightly lift my body up when moving the chair to make sliding around easier.This is the best solution I have found thus far, I’ve had them for about 45 days & they dont seem to be harming my carpet, so I recommend these if you have super plush carpet & are trying to avoid using mats.

I purchased these ball casters to replace a set of non-braking ball casters on my desk chair. This set Is attractive and seemed nicely made, but after a month or so of use - the stems on 2 casters are slightly bent. Looks like I am going to have to reinstall the original set of ball casters. Disappointed.

When screwing these into the chair it becomes increasing difficult to get a tight fit as you get closer to the bottom of the chair leg. The gap between the chair leg and the wheel is so small even a pliers will not fit. The wheels need to have a thin supplied wrench. One of those throw away wrenches so common in furniture you put together.They would be 5 stars otherwise. Arrived 3 days before they were scheduled. That was a pleasant surprise.Update: ordered 3 more sets for the other chairs. The tone of the hooded part was not a very good match so be prepared to compromise your expectations regarding the look.

I was pleasantly surprised with these casters! They have very heavy solid metal cases easy rolling nylon wheels. They were easy to install and fit the antique farm table I refurbished perfectly! They were a little taller than the corroded solid brass wheels that were originally on the table and made it a perfect height for an island. The wheels roll smoothly and swivel 360 degrees. Very pleased with my purchase.

The seam where the caster ball halves were fused together had a raised edge. After using the casters a couple weeks, I noticed groves or scratches in my hardwood floor. We sanded down the seam on each caster and reinstalled the casters. However, the floors are already damaged.

After contacting customer service to discuss stem length, we ordered the 7/16" x 3/8" stem casters featured on Amazon. They arrived promptly, appear to be well made and are working great. We replaced old casters (which had lost their ball-bearings) on a heavy electric bed and it is much easier to move now (says the spouse). If they hold up well, there'll be no reason to change from a 5-star recommendation.

These casters have been on my chair for a while now and they are working perfectly. The mounting base was a little larger than I wanted but my fault for not checking the dimensions carefully. I have made them work and expect to get a good long life out of them.

I am using these casters on an antique office chair. They look really nice; however, they don't roll real easily on thick carpet. If the carpet wasn't so thick I think they would be fine. Be sure to read all info - - -not advised for laminate floors either.
