Lifelong purple and clear office chair casters rolling across a hardwood floor toward a stone-tile threshold

Floors

Rolls clean across your floors

The polyurethane wheels are made to roll across hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, mats and carpet, so you can retire the chair mat and move freely around the room. They are designed to protect your floors instead of scratching or smudging them.

On carpet, smoothness depends on pile height: low-pile carpet rolls more easily than high-pile.

  • Floor-friendly wheels. Polyurethane tread for hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile and carpet.
  • No chair mat needed. Roll straight across the room on your existing floor.
  • Quiet glide. Smooth, quiet rolling for calls and late-night work.

Built to last

Steel, bearings and polyurethane in every caster

Each caster pairs industrial-grade steel with precision ball bearings and a durable polyurethane wheel, so your chair keeps rolling through daily use. Lifelong has been refining its chair wheels since 2016.

  • Rotating upper. A swivel top that lets the wheel turn freely.
  • Solid steel frame. Electro-coated black steel fork.
  • Bearings. A precision ball bearing plus a long-tube ring fixed bearing.
  • Polyurethane wheel. Protects floors and glides with ease.
  • Heavy-duty riveted axle. Solid steel axle for a load rating of up to 650 lbs.

  • Office. Smooth, quiet movement while you work.
  • Relaxing. An easy glide when you push back and stretch out.
  • Gaming. A smooth glide for long sessions in a gaming chair.
  • Remote. A dependable set for your home workspace.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will they fit my chair?

These casters use a universal 7/16″ × 7/8″ stem that fits most rolling office, desk, salon and gaming chairs. They are not compatible with IKEA chairs or with some off-brand chairs that use a different stem size. Before you order, pull one existing caster out and compare its stem with the measurements in the fit check above.

Do these wheels roll well on carpet, rugs and chair mats?

They are made for hard floors and carpet, but how smoothly they roll depends on the surface. Some customers report the casters catching or turning slowly on medium- or high-pile carpet, soft rugs and some glass chair mats. They work best on hard floors and low-pile carpet. If your chair moves between a hard floor and a rug, expect more resistance on the rug.

If they do not suit your surface, see our Returns policy (90-day returns).

Will they scratch my floors?

The polyurethane wheels are designed to protect your floors rather than scratch, smudge or damage them, so most people can leave the chair mat behind.

Why does my chair roll away on a hard floor, and is there a brake option?

The wheels roll freely, which some customers find too free on hard floors, for example when sitting down or standing up. If that worries you, take a look at the Clear wheels with brakes.

Will they make my chair sit higher?

A little. Some customers report the chair sitting about ¼–½ inch higher than with their original casters, depending on the original wheels. If seat height or clearance under your desk is tight, compare your current wheel height first, or look at the 2-inch set.

What is the weight capacity?

The set of 5 has a combined load capacity of up to 650 lbs. If you are near the top of the range or sit for many hours a day, contact Lifelong Support before ordering.

How long do they last, and what if a wheel squeaks?

Casters wear with daily use. If a wheel squeaks, sticks or leaks grease, stop using it, because grease can mark flooring, and contact Lifelong Support. Your purchase includes a 1-year warranty; see the warranty terms for details.

How do I install them?

No tools are needed. Pull the previous wheels straight out of the chair legs, push each new caster stem into the leg socket until it is firmly seated, and roll away.
