Has anyone had any luck trying replacement casters on this stand, or did you just stick with the casters provided w/item? Orig ones are crappy!

I bought this for my teen-aged grandson for Christmas ... he needed something to hold his TV and all the gaming stuff that goes with it. He got it for Christmas 2013, so he has had it for over a year. I have not heard of any issues with the casters.

I used the castors that were provided. They kept falling out when rolled on our carpet, so I put some wood glue in each socket and that did the trick.

the stands are pretty much universal...I would read the description that should be with the stand...I'd also check local 'big box' stores as many are having end of season sales..mine was ancient and looked identical to the one in the picture.

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.

I don't know of any replacement stands but would like to know. Lol. I understand what you mean. I have the Star Ship from the new Star Trek movie that takes a little playing with to keep it from tilting but its also 4 yrs. old. I just keep the hole and the little ball clean and it keep free from dust and film that can build up. I found that wiping it with vinegar helps keeping it in place. I also keep it where if it should fall it wouldn't fall far just in case. I love my ships. Lol... Hope it helps..

Mine came with a stand in the box. I don't know if you can buy a replacement. Here is the form to request a part on their website: http://westinghouseelectronics.com/support/partsreq/ Ebay has one right now for $60. Search for westinghouse uw40t2bw stand.

Yes you can. Simply get ahold of manufacturer and they'll mail you replacements for free. Great customer service. I broke mine on accident as well... it's the cheapest part of the stand unfortunately

First choice, contact the company from which you bought the casters. This will not be the first time that they have heard this lament. If they're cool, they may just send you a replacement. Worst case, they sell you a packet of (4) sockets. Second choice, go online and search for sellers that offer sockets. I did this once and was able to find a seller that offered both caster kits and standalone socket packets. Can't remember the name of this seller. Since the range of caster types and sizes is quite broad, it may be a long shot that a hardware or home improvement store would have your specific socket in stock.

It does not come with casters, though you could remove the feet and install them separately, I suppose. Not sure I would recommend casters, though. It would seem too unstable to me.

Don't quite understand what you mean by defective. Had no problem with mine. If the strength of the supports is not compromised I would tape them rather than go through the hassle of shipping it back.

I have had no issues with my wheels; however, I am not rough with my equipment. Replacement would require that you be a little handy with tools. You can find caster wheels at Lowe's , Home Depot or here at Amazon.

I would suggest getting someone to help. First you need to remove the stand. Also, you need to get a bracket kit that is compatible. I bought mine at Best Buy.Mine was not difficult to figure out once the bracket kit was attached. But, I had a handy man in my building help since it was a bit heavy to lift.

No, we haven't had any problems with the casters. We have used our vacuum a lot, picked it up from place to place, and no problems at all. Try contacting the company.

Juan, Off hand I can't tell you. I can tell you that the casters "wheels" on my Weber are larger than what was shipped. So, you might ask yourself...the dummy ordered the wrong parts. That's what I thought until I re-read what Caster/Insert information and it listed my model as one of the models the caster inserts would fit. Where are we today? Since Weber has told me through one of their customer service reps, " We have the casters you want but we no longer carry the inserts for the legs of the grill." I told him the casters won't do anybody any good if they have a broken insert that the casters push into. That was kind of a Daaaaa moment for him. Necessity is the mother of invention... I have made my own set of inserts out of wood, and purchase a set have rolling casters from Home Depot. Works better than the original and a damn side cheaper than having to purchase a brand new grill. Just finished two very nice salmon fillets.. :-) Cheers, Scott Davis

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.

I wouldn't recommend it; the unit's it not set up for them. It wouldn't be impossible, though. You could search on Amazon for "casters set of 4", and pick some 2" ones that swivel. Mounting them with screws might be difficult, so consider a strong adhesive, like gorilla glue. Just avoid getting the glue in the center of the base plate, which would nullify the swivel feature.

Yes..just don't install either of them.Can't speak to the stability of not having the casters in though..

I've got the DW744XRS which it assume just is the different stand and this works fine for me, there should be screw holes for it on the underside of the table if it would work. What you screw where is pretty obvious if the holes are there. I guess first check if the supports are as wide and long as your tabletop.
