Office Chair Caster Wheels (Set of 5) - Heavy Duty & Safe for All Floors Including Hardwood - Perfect Replacement for Desk Floor Mat - Rollerblade Style w/Universal Fit

I got these for my HM and they're great

Here's an (expensive) example of the kind of wheels I'm talking about.

I have a set of wheels like these that I got for ~$20 almost 3 years ago and have been using on hardwood floor for about 2 years of that time with no other protection. No gouges or scratches.

They're slightly "squishy" and grippy, almost like they're made of really sturdy silicone (I'm sure they're not at all, but that's kinda how they feel). Anything smallish just squishes into the wheel; you'd literally have to be rolling over gravel or some such to scratch noticeably.

Can't vouch for any myself, but this is the first amazon result:

I hear they have them with dual casters (or dual something) that work better than the big wheels. The single and big wheels make it difficult to do short distance scooting around.

We have hardwood floors throughout our house, so when my wife and I got new chairs for our home office we ordered a set of these for each: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CTIG4GE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Basically, they're soft Rollerblade wheels - they don't damage the floor at all and I assume they would work really well on carpet too (depending on the thickness). We've had them for the last 2 and a half years, no issues.

For $35, you can do the same to your chair :)

Thanks. Just looked at my Amazon history and it was these that I purchased for the chair. They work really well on low pile carpet/rugs too.

I recommend upgrading the wheels. Amazon has a nice pair of roller blade types that are amazing to roll across shop floors.

Can you post full specs? Love this setup. How are you hanging the large monitor in the corner? Also check these out for your chair... You can get rid of that mat.

Thanks for the reply! Ordered it immediately, and it's helped immensely. That plus some new chair casters and I can move around with peace of mind. Absolute game changer

I bought these a while ago:

You can get replacement wheels on Amazon if you want to upgrade them. It's a fairly easy fix, too.

Here's one example, though there are cheaper options too. (37$)

Oh, man, those floor scratches. Switch your stock wheels to some rollerblade wheels. Your floor will thank you.

Pro tip: Get some caster wheels for your chair. Your beautiful hardwood floor will thank you. They cost about $30. https://www.amazon.com/Office-Chair-Caster-Wheels-Set/dp/B01CTIG4GE

That sucks.

Unfortunately this wasn’t even a standard office wheel, it was one of these.

I bought these and they have been fantastic. Almost 2 years, 2 different chairs, no complaints. Surprised to hear the potential for disaster with these.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CTIG4GE/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_vOAiEbZ0J19H9

That would be these and they are great on carpet and hard floors. I've had mine on my chair for a few years and they are still in great shape.

You should look into rollerblade style wheels made for office chairs. They're a better/cleaner alternative to a floor mat These are the ones I'm using for my chair and they work great. They won't damage the floor and yoire chair will glide!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CTIG4GE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_QdgwFb9MB72GB

Once you do the repair, get yourself some rollerblade chair wheels. They are on Amazon and they have kept my laminate and luxury vinyl plank looking great. Be careful, as the chairs will roll very easily! If you have a caliper or ruler you can measure the diameter of the peg that inserts into the chair.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CTIG4GE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabt1_VahXFbW9Z421H

You can get some on Amazon for around $30. It's by far one of the best investments you'll make. Your floors will thank you.

Honestly, I had one of those (not that specific brand) and it was just bad. Arm rests were wobbly, not really that comfortable and no breathing room. I work from home so I'm in it 8 hours a day at least.

I changed it out with this char and got these wheels to reduce damange to my wood floor.

I've been happy with it for over a year now.

Not trying to shit on your wants, just my experience. The leg rest was nice, when I would wheel it out for console play I would almost fall asleep. haha

Just saying, you can try some of:

​

I am super happy with mine.

Are there casters taller than https://www.amazon.com/Office-Chair-Caster-Wheels-Set/dp/B01CTIG4GE? These are the tallest I could find, I don't think it's quite enough. I need about 3.5" or so inches over my current leaps to get my arms straightened out.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CTIG4GE/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1 I was considering these, they're a bit pricey compared to others on Amazon but they're the most purchased/also come with a warranty.

I've had these for 2 years with no issues, cept hair and fur getting caught in there, which will probably happen with any of the castors. I shed a lot.

Looks like someone on the Herman Miller sub bought these without issue.

On the color, I'll be completely honest, I didn't even pay attention to it until after I ordered, so I've got whatever the default options are on Hive. Looking at the receipt I have the graphite frame/chassis/base and pellicle graphite fabric, it's a nice dark grey, almost looks black at first glance until you get close.

Regarding the adjustments, here's a document they provide on how to adjust the Aeron, will give you a little better idea of all the possible options and what they do:

https://www.hermanmiller.com/content/dam/hermanmiller/documents/user_information/aeron_chairs_user_adjustment_guide.pdf

Similarly they listing for all their other chairs here:

https://www.hermanmiller.com/customer-service/chair-adjustments/

You can't lock it in a reclined position, however you can adjust the tension on the recline to reduce/increase the pressure it takes to recline. When the tension is released all the way it doesn't really push back much at all and just sort of follows your body, though it will always go back to straight when you get out of the chair. With the tension increased, it does start to push back a lot more but even at it's strongest it's still got give, I don't believe you can lock it in an un-reclined position either. As for how far back it goes, rough estimate, I'd that it reclines close to but not quite 45 degrees.

If you have the tilt limiter and seat angle option, it allows you to pitch the seat forward substantially for when you're leaning into your workstation for longer periods of time of computer work, and when you want a flat seat you can lock it back into the horizontal position.

I got the PostureFit back instead of the lumbar adjustment, I like it but I could see some people being more interested in a traditional lumbar adjustment like you get without the PostureFit. Instead of more like a bar/pillow along your back, the PostureFit is two semi-adjustable pads that your back will press against when you lean into the back mesh and it sinks in a little.

Loving the chair so far, though I haven't been using it for full 8 hour work days as I am currently unemployed (thankfully the money for the chair was given with the assumption we weren't going to have jobs much longer and weren't going to be returning the chairs), but in my more extended sessions in it, it's been very much worth it. The old cheapo $150 chair I got from Office Depot had been kicking my ass (literally and figuratively) for a while and I didn't even realize how bad it was until I stopped using it all the time. I'm closer to the upper weight limit on the chair, and 6' tall, it fits nice but I suspect if I was a even closer to the weight limit I would wearing the chair out pretty quick based on how much the seat mesh sags under my current weight.

Also something to consider as a 3rd party add-on, I got these wheels from Amazon for my previous chair, they are essentially rollerblade wheels on a caster and work with most office chairs, including the Aeron (just tested): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CTIG4GE They're sold as an alternative to a floor mat, which I also recently got and part of the reason I haven't moved these to the Aeron yet, but they would glide nice on a floor mat as well. My carpet pile is a little on the shaggy side so the wheels got fuzz caught up in the bearing over time that wouldn't have happened on a floor mat, but even still they roll a lot smoother on carpet than regular casters.

Same, although the Aeron at work isn't sized right. I'm 5'7" and find myself only using the front half of the chair due to pressure points. Find the seat pan to be too deep.

Bought a Steelcase Amia (used-like new from Amazon Warehouse for $300...still had tags/plastic covering the legs) and it is the best purchase I have made. Also like the adjustable arm rests for the different angles as well as being able to lower them to get the chair out of the way/under the desk.

This series of reviews helped, because there were no local chair retailers (who weren't intended to be used for office build outs): https://blog.szynalski.com/category/seating/

Haven't tried the Leap yet.

Also upgraded the wheels so I wouldn't need a chair mat https://www.amazon.com/Office-Chair-Caster-Wheels-Set/dp/B01CTIG4GE/

Definitely get the multi-surface casters, unless you're planning on using an area rug. The multi surface/hardwood casters are soft so they don't scratch the hardwood; the rug casters are hard plastic.

Basically: hard surface, soft wheels. Soft surface, hard wheels

Also, it might be worth looking into the roller blade type casters
