Mine did not have a gradual lip, so I'm not sure this is the best way to transition from surface to surface.

I think it would, but I don't know for sure. Some of the things they sell have free returns. I don't remember if this item did or not. I like mine, but I have laminate floors, because my husband is in a wheel chair. My office chair & his chair was wearing on my floor.

I'm sitting in this chair right now, had it for a few months and have never had the wheels come off. I do recall having to violently pound them into place when i was first assembling the chair. I almost felt as if I might break something given the force required to properly seat the wheels but I havent had a problem with them coming out. I would recommend getting the wheels in as well as you can and then hammering down on the chrome piece above the wheels until they slide deeper into place. Just make sure to use a rubber mallet or place a towel between the hammer and the chrome so as not to scratch it up.

I put them on my kitchen chairs that sit on tile floor and they are wonderful. Quiet, slide easy, easy on the tile. They are very close to the chair leg and would pull fine over carpet. I don't see why it would work in a wood chair.

We have tight-weave rugs on which it works pretty well. It works better since I discovered there were brakes on 2 of the wheels!

I con't know why that particular thing happened, but I had a hard time putting the back on. It kept coming off and I finally just took the whole apparatus down and started over. It finally worked. I suggest you take the whole thing down and re-assemble. This chair is not very comfortable. Be careful when you bend over to pick up something from the floor from a sitting position. If you are on a slick or hardwood floor, the wheels are very quick to roll and the chair can tip over and roll out from under you abruptly - dumping you on the floor.

It's perfect for hardwood floors. Not so much area rugs. Mine gets stuck on the sisal area rug I have. You do have to babysit it or it will get hung up on areas.... like the transition between my living room and kitchen there is a hump it won't go over. So I have to watch and help it up. I still love it!

I have carpet, but this thing isn't really heavy enough to scratch it. The wheels are fine, the problem is that the cradle part doesn't stay up like it's supposed to, so it drags over the wheels, which may scratch the floors? Just be careful to try and keep the cradle part up and you'll be fine.

I have hardwood floors with area rugs. The walker gets stuck on every rug I have. I still think it's the best walker out there. I'm really happy with it!

Hi,I had the exact same problem on the same kind of rug. This product helped but it didn't remove it all.

I put a chair leg slider under the other two chair legs, worked perfect. Also can use coasters, cut carpet stacked, any thing that w raise the legs. Good luck

I am sorry I cannot help you as my mat is on carpet. If you find out the answer let me know as we are about to replace the area's carpet with wood flooring.

Actually I am also that it might harm the wood floor, so I use it on carpet. I must say that it is slippery so my remedy has been to put a rubber daisy (you know that you use to open jars) it fits right on the base and it keeps it from sliding around and I can still balance on it. I got it to improve my balance and I don't want to slip off of it. So that is my solution to the slipperiness.

It's been more than a year since we assembled the chair but I do not remember any issues with putting the wheels on. It seems to me that they clicked in. What do the directions indicate? Maybe you should call a woodworking company and ask them. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

No. Metal touches floor directly. You would have to place the items on an area rug to protect the floor. My floors are carpeted and it's take a little extra effort to reposition the chair. It's a lovely set. Putting rubber foot guards on the legs will detract from the beauty. I hope you can work something out.

I have had no issues with the Roomba making transitions from wood to rugs. I occasionally use the regular vacuum for the rugs, because it is more powerful.

The wheels don't have locking mechanisms, but my chair is on a fairly thick rug and it doesn't move unless I really want it to. I had initially planned to leave the wheels off, but I wouldn't advise it unless you have some sort of protective barrier between the feet and the floor.

Try some double sided tape, it worked on our hardwood floor. Also, might look for some of that rubber cabinet liner stuff too.
