LONGADSOffice Chair Caster Wheels with Brakes 5 Packs 3 in for Hardwood Floors and Low Pile Carpet,Heavy Duty Quiet Swivel Replacement -Made from Soft Premium Pu Rubber-Black

My Ikea office chair worked great for several years, but the casters don't roll very well. Furthermore, once I got an under-desk elliptical exercise machine, I suddenly needed the chair to not roll backwards. After trying caster cups and even installing a handle on my desk to hang onto, I finally decided to look for a better solution.This set of roller blade style casters with built-in brakes seemed to fit the bill, but unfortunately Ikea uses a slightly smaller stem size than the 7/16" (11mm) stems that are almost universal in North America. So I got a 7/16" drill bit and slightly enlarged the sockets in the chair legs. The new casters then fit perfectly, and now the chair works great for my purposes.The brakes are engaged all the time because I usually don't want the chair rolling around. With these brakes, the chair really stays rigidly in one spot and I can do my leg exercises unimpeded.If you disengage the brakes, the chair rolls quite smoothly, and if you engage the brakes, it won't roll at all. I love these casters; they do exactly what I needed and so far, after a week's use, seem quite well built and stable.If that changes, I'll update this review. But so far, they seem to be a great product at a very good price.

These casters are one of the best priced 3 inch soft casters on Amazon! At first, I was hesitant to order seeing that there were no reviews. Now that I’ve installed & tested them, I can now strongly recommend them! They are very high quality and super silent on my tile floors. Very smooth rolling, these chair casters are. Installation is dead simple! Pull out the old casters and plug the new bad boys in. That’s it. An easy & affordable way to upgrade your office chair.1 month of use Update: I notice that every now & then, the protruding brakes will jab into my Achilles’ tendon. It’s not exactly painful and doesn’t cause injury; but, every time my Achilles’ tendon gets jabbed, it’s a bit jarring and concerning b/c that is something that should not be happening on a regular basis. It’s not medically sound. I can get used to the protruding brakes and be more careful when my Achilles is close to the brakes but why? I would be way more satisfied by packing them up and returning them and then purchasing a competing brand that doesn’t have those annoying brakes. Purchase only if you really need brakes. I find that I don’t really need the brakes!

They pivot smoothly. They roll smoothly. The "tread" has a little squish to it that smooths out bumps and helps the wheel grip. The brakes/locks work, though I find I have to use my hand to unlock them; perhaps I could do it with my feet if I were wearing shoes.I didn't use these for a chair, instead I used four in a set of shelves. Installing them required some custom work (for a variety of reasons) so I can't speak to how well they would install/fit in an application they were designed for.

We did have carpet throughout the house. The casters on the desk chair we had was having a hard time on the new Hard Flooring. Except when trying to sit on the chair, sometimes it wanted to roll out from under you and possibly causing an injury for hitting the floor! These caster roll much much better & each of the wheels has a brake. With at least 2 set, the chair doesn't move away when trying to sit down. The only problem, the spring on the brake(s) are strong and you have to be careful that it doesn't hit you while unlocking... My wife found out the hard way... Her Thumb has a small blister...

I bought these wheel for my gaming chair as the ones that came with it kinda sucked, after using these I’m happy to say that they are really great. I also like that they have wheel brakes on every wheel not just one or two helping me stay in place and not slide everywhere, five wheels come in the pack which is all I needed. What I like is that they done leave a black smears on the floor like my old ones helping the floor stay clean. These things are as easy to install as just popping out the old one and putting the new ones in no screws are anything needed Great solid wheels I would really recommend.

You’ve got a few optimal-comfort spots to roll your chair into at the desk. If you’re like me, you casually push yourself away when you’ve got your feet resting on anything.I’ve got back problems. Poor focus.Simply put, I need to create a ‘less friction’ environment. SO Here’s what I did that switches up the game:- pull myself into the perfect spot, lock 1 wheel off to the side. This can give enough resistance to hold me still whiling working + I can get up and sit down with the chain remaining in it’s original spot, with the ability to roll a beautiful pivot. 🌟 This keeps you aligned and able to always have your best spot “saved”. Life changer folks. Didn’t buy it for that perk.- NOW the main reason I bought; so I can lock the wheels and not slide from my foot rest.All I gotta do is lock one more wheel on the opposite side (2 total) and it’s a wrap!I don’t move and when I gotta give up, I unlock the wheel on the side I gotta stand, pivot the chair from the desk and be on my way..It occasionally slides a bit on the pivot, but that’s my dirty floor with saw dust. I suspect hardwood doesn’t play games.If you’re buying these so your good quality desk chair can hold still in a given position, then yea they're great over here.

The wheels works well. Smooth glide and effective locks, but over time, grease will migrate from the pivot bearings to the tops of the housing and brake levers. If you use your heels to push the locks down to engage, you'll transfer the grease to your feet and then anything you walk on.

Muy buenas ruedas, no hacen nada de ruido, no rayan para nada la superficie del piso, los "frenos" que tienen por rueda estan perfectos ya que no deja mover la rueda...excelente compra!!!

I needed to install the brake wheels to my office chair used for gaming. Specifically for use with a rudder pedals for the Flight Simulator. It worked.

Nice Chair Wheels..Good Product...Strong lock...if u want to stop continuous moving your gaming chair or office cahir while gaming or working which is very irritating for me ..must buy this product

These are easy to attach to your chair as a nice upgrade, they're a higher ride from the floor - see my attached photo for size comparison to regular wheels. They greatly decrease friction even on my carpeted office floor. They're sturdy and have flawless spinning/ gliding.My only concern is that the breaks stick out horizontally when unlocked, so you have to be careful not to scrape your ankles.I would absolutely buy again.

Silenciosas, los frenos funcionas perfecto
