are these casters soft rubber and what is the stem lengeth?

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

I would say they are hard rubber. Regarding the stem length - I don't remember exactly, but they did fit perfectly into my standard office chair that I had purchased at Office Max about 10 years ago.

These are not soft rubber, they are plastic. I am not sure on the length, but i'm guessing 3-4"

The casters are not soft rubber. The stem length appears to be about 1 to 1.25 inches.

Stem is pretty much rigid. Will break off if you hook them or crash on them.

Yes you can replace the casters. I had to as the ones that came with it were cheap and broke on install. Just ensure you match the stem diameter.

I didn't find them much different (I think the other descriptions are pretty accurate) except that they picked up hair/grit worse than the standard casters did. I felt like they caused as much damage as the old wheels, because the "soft" surface was soon rough from the dust/grit they had accumulated. :( I had to wash them, weekly, to keep them relatively clean- but that didn't change the fact that they were permanently pitted/marred by grit.

They are rubber wheels. Good quality for the price. My son loves them. They were a birthday gift for him last year.

they are solid rubber, enough sturdy asemmbly, i don't use it every day, but when i do i take care of it personally, so, so far, so good, so i couldn't speak about their performance around job sites with careless and rushy people handling it, since is some considerable weight to bear on two wheels only...good luck tough...

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

Katherine - truthfully, I am not really sure of the difference. What I do know is that they are composed of polyurethane or hard rubber wrapped around a polyurethane core. There is an axle and 2 of them have a locking mechanism which seems very sturdy. I've yet to have one of these suckers lock up and they make the rack marvelously maneuverable. I want to call them casters but all I care about is that they work.

These casters have a simple steel shaft as an axle, with no bearings or bushings, just the hard rubber wheel. Any sustainded high speed spinning or heav load would arguably create enough heat to ruin the wheels. They are great little castors for their intended use.

They are soft rubber, very nice handles. Not like wooden handles. Similar to Prego BrushesLovely brushes!!

Yes the casters are the same as in the picture. I don't know which model is the sturdiest, or if it the same. Sorry

They are very flexible...good material...works well. I am very pleased with them. I don't know the material. Best wishes.

They are rubber but they won't fit in a maybelline curler they are too wide. I bought a curler at a local Dollar General store and they fit perfectly.

The casters are typical hard plastic. Casters for wood floors are softer urethane or rubber. The rule is hard casters for soft floors and soft casters for hard floors.

Yes, casters work well on grouted tile floors, but aren't rubberized, so expect it to be a bumpy roll!

They are rubbery, and I think have a little sealed air, but no valve for filling. At any rate, they do not make noise when moving across hard surfaces. The wheels operate very quietly and smoothly.

I have to agree with everyone else on this.I know you can purchase separate casters that are that "pin style' type connector from a variety of suppliers, but again, I can not imagine why you would need rubber casters. I certainly wouldn't be rolling them over our Off-White carpet :-)
