China Manufacturer Directory >>Furniture Casters

Furniture casters, an assembly comprised of caster wheels, legs, and axles, are used on beds, carts, chairs and tables. Furniture casters can be ordered with options such as brakes, colors, directional locks, dust caps, swivel locks, and twin wheels. Ball casters and decorative casters embellish the looks of an item of furniture. Particularly for chairs, ergonomic design of furniture casters is an important consideration.

Flooring considerations are also important for furniture caster choice. The primary surface for the piece of furniture, such as carpet, ceramic tile, hardwood, plastic mat or other hard surfaces, all affect which furniture caster will work best. For instance, ceramic tile, hardwood floors and plastic mats need nonmarking soft rubber wheels. Polyurethane wheels, on the other hand, are used on hard surfaces but can also be used on carpet. As there are many variations of furniture casters available, consulting a manufacturer often yields the best information.
