can you attach these to casters? In other words, I would like to use it as a rolling cube open at the top

I would say not because the sides are adhered with 3M tape, not structural nails or screws. If you screwed the parts together with wood screws, perhaps, but I would look for a different product for this. The stability comes from the top.

These particular models do not support casters. Also note that "open at top" is not a recommended configuration. The backing board (which would become the bottom of the cube, in an open-at-top scenario) is not meant to support any weight (nor could it - it's more akin to a thick piece of paper than a wall). Way Basics does offer a cube that supports casters but it too is only meant for open-on-side configurations, not open-at-top. See http://www.waybasics.com/home-storage.html for those.

Hi Spring, Yes. Please note all customization is at your own risk and will void warranty. Many customers have customized, please be familiar with the product before doing so.Jimmy ChiangWay Basics, Founderjimmy@waybasics.com

You probably could do that. They are made from some material that is somewhere between particle board and paper, but very thick layered paper. They are actually extremely strong, but I'm pretty sure you could nail into them to attach wheels.

Amendment- I do remember that the backing is a thin material, so the other answer is correct, it wouldn't support that. Sorry, I didn't remember that.

It could be done, but probably require a small square of plywood, large flat washers, or other material to hold caster bolts in place. The bottom of the crates has not been designed to mount casters, but with a little engineering, you could get that done.

The legs have screw-in feet with 1/4-inch screw diameters. There are holes in the bottom center of the legs to accommodate these screws. If you can find casters with the same size shanks, you could replace the feet with the casters.

I would not recommend this base for casters. We have a few of these with 3' tops, and there is only 11" on each side and the base is not drilled for casters. The limited width of the base would make these very unstable and unsafe for use.

There are no casters on the legs. There is a roller in the front where the front legs attach to the main body of the machine. The roller is not useable unless the machine is folded up. The roller is quite small in diameter and is not very useful, especially if used on a rough surface. I would love to have casters on the front legs that could be locked in an up position when the machine is being used but locked in the down position so the thing could be rolled around without having to fold it up first.

Yes, the wheels just snap on, you could use them or not. If you don't use the casters, there are caps that protect the flooring. I've had this shelf/cart for quite a while now and still love it!

Not sure what you are asking. You could put casters on the bottom the way it is. If you mean instead of the round bottom on the corners,the cabinet comes with that part attached.

I do not believe you can use casters. There is hard rubber on the bottom of the metal posts. I just bought a pack of peel and stick felt sliders. I used them on all my furniture. They work great.

No, the side grid in the picture is replicated for the bottom. You would have to put in on a piece of plywood or something to mount casters.

The wheels screw into the bottom of the frame using a bolt integrated into the caster. Without the wheels, I believe the frame would sit flat on the floor just fine, so I think not attaching the wheels would be an option.

This frame is not designed for use with caster wheels. The legs are rectangular and would not work with standard caster wheels.

Yes, you have to attach the casters to the base. I'm not sure how well it would work without them, but it's possible to leave them off.

It doesn't look like there's any way to remove the casters from the frame...no screws, bolts, etc. I use this caddyfor a tree in a very large pot inside the house on top of thick carpet, and I've been pleased with my ability to moveit around, and the wheels have stayed intact. Good luck!

I don't know. Mine was so flimsy I threw the whole thing away...shame, I could have sent you a caster. My recommendation is to go to Home Depot or Lowes, get 4 new casters with threaded screws, carefully drill four new holes completely through, and use a washer on the top and bottom before tightening a nut on each caster.

No, but I would imagine you could purchase casters and install them rather easily. This item is a great value. Good quality for the price.

The stud on these casters are just threaded bolts. If you can fit them through anything and get a nut on it, it'll roll. Great heavy duty casters too. Btw you will have to procure those nuts elseware.

The casters actually have to be installed; they come in a separate bag. So, you should have no problems.
