The Right Office Chair Casters Can Make All the Difference

When shopping for a new office chair there are three things to consider, style, color and mobility. While style and color are relatively easy choices, the mobility option get a bit tougher. The right office chair casters can make or break a chair sale.

You can sit in a chair and it is comfortable, it can also match your desk or office decor, but what do you do if it will not move away from your desk easily when you need to get up? Keep scooting it in and out and wear a rut in your carpet? Or put a plastic carpet protector down so the chair just slides around as you shift around while working.

Finding a chair with all three desires at once is a rare thing. You usually have to sacrifice one of the three to get close to what you want. The office chair caster does not need to be one of them.

Find a chair that is comfortable and matches the office. If the casters are not perfect, that is fine. There are many suppliers out there furnishing quality office chair casters at a reasonable price. These are ready to be installed on the new chair to make it exactly what you want.

When looking for casters for your new chair, be sure to consider the type of flooring you have when making your selection. Hardwood floors will take a caster with a little more grip to it than the standard ones that glide on carpet. If you have both surfaces in your office, choose a caster that will work well on them equally.

Keeping not only your chair in good working order, but your floor looking great is the main concern here. Choosing the right office chair caster is a good start. If there are any other pieces of furniture that uses casters, replacing them at the same time may be a prudent move.
