As someone who spends most evenings and weekends working on DIY projects at my desk, having a supportive office chair with smooth mobility is a must. The stock plastic wheels that came with my chair were prone to cracking and dragging across my hardwood floors and bad on carpet. I decided to try replacing them with this set of 5 clear rollerblade-style casters from Office Owl.
The easy pop-on installation took less than 10 minutes thanks to the universal stem mount design that fits most office chairs. Right away I noticed a huge improvement in how freely my chair glides across the floor without catching or requiring as much push force. The thickness and durability of the polyurethane wheels feels far superior to the thin plastic I had before.
I’m also pleased with how subtle the clear casters look, seamlessly blending in with my chair base without being an eyesore. The quietness of the roll is remarkable, no more squeaking or rumbling sounds when I move now! After a few weeks of heavy use, the wheels show minimal visible wear and continue to provide consistent smooth mobility.
My only small nitpick is that these casters are slightly taller than my original wheels, raising my seated height about an inch higher. But it’s easy enough to adjust the chair height to compensate. For anyone seeking an affordable and easy way to improve the functionality of an office chair, I’d certainly recommend these Office Owl rollerblade casters. Just confirm compatibility before purchase.
