An office chair for a manager or a standard computer chair should be, first and foremost, reliable and durable. Reliability of office chairs depends on many parameters, but the quality of furniture castors / wheels plays a big role.
Furniture castors, designed to make furniture mobile, must be also stable. Furniture wheels should be easy to ride on both a smooth floor and a fleecy surface.
Furniture wheels differ in the material of which are made from: polypropylene, polyamide (nylon), polyurethane. Solid and strong rolls made of polypropylene and polyamide are designed for standard floor coverings. Softer rollers made of polyurethane (elastic plastic) are suitable for parquet or laminate of softwood.
The reliability of the furniture casters is also characterized by the distance that the office chair must “pass” until the next change of wheels. This parameter is directly related to the quality and strength of furniture wheels.
