are the casters safe for wood floors?

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.

They roll very nice on hard wood floors. If your floors are very nice I would not use it on a hard wood floor without some kind of protection. Over time I think they would scratch.

Although my chair is on carpet, I'd say the casters would work well on wood floors. There are two wheels about 1/4' wide, spaced about an inch apart. When I just felt the surface, there are tiny "pimples" on the wheels which I'd assume are to make it less slippery on surfaces such as wood. But I can't say too much about the chair itself - it's the most comfortable thing I've ever sat in because there are 5 or 6 different adjustments. For the price, and after reading the other comments before I bought it, you just can't go wrong.

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

No, you'll want to purchase different casters that are softer for wood floors.

I have hard wood floors. These chairs have not scratched my floors. They are very light weight.

The casters i got were hard plastic wheels with two rolling surfaces per caster. I'm sure they would roll perfectly on hardwood but they may eventually mark the wood.

I do not have wood floors but I would not see a problem because they are made out of a hard plastic.

Well, the casters are the same as those on many office chair's. A smooth surface is all you need. You decide.

I would not use for wood flooring. Use only high quality top of the line pins to avoide jams.

The first answer is correct except for the durability. We have used them for more than 6 months with no issues. I tip the scales at 230 and these casters are working fine with no marring of our new hardwood floors.

The casters would have to be very heavy duty because this is a solid piece of furniture. I don't think I would.

I don't know, as we use it on a hardwood floor in our family room. The casters work well on wood.

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

We have wood floors too. It doesn't seem to be a problem for us at all, but I have considered butting some on just in case.

Not without some modification. The casters are drilled into the leg of the chair; the casters could possibly be removed; however, if you did that, you would need to do something to the bottom of the leg. In my opinion, it might weaken the integrity of the bottom of the leg. I woudn't do it. These chairs are extremely well constructed.

I put felt pads on the feet if the chairs and have no issues with my wood floors! They are sturdy comfortable chairs.

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.
