Buying Guide

Match stem size to your chair

Confirm the stem dimensions (for example common 7/16" x 7/8" stems) to ensure a secure fit and avoid wobble or premature wear

Choose tread material for your floors

Polyurethane or soft treads protect hardwood and tile better than hard plastic and reduce noise and surface scuffs

Consider wheel diameter

Two-inch wheels are common on office chairs and balance rollability and load capacity for typical desk use

Prioritize load capacity and build

Look for heavy-duty construction and bearings rated for the combined weight they must support to prevent failure under regular use

Check pack size and compatibility

Replacement casters are often sold in 5-piece packs—verify the quantity matches your chair and that mounting style and tags indicate chair caster compatibility
