Default any better rubber casters?

Hi All,

My wife has a wooden chair with these 2" rubber casters:

http://www.acehardware.com/product/i...627538.2627561

Problem: the stinkers fail after about two years:

1) the ball bearing fall out (all over the floor)

2) the sleeves fall off the wood, casters and all. Pounding the
sleeves back on does not help as the wood were the sleeve's
teeth goes in has failed.

I was thinking of adding a little wood glue to the new
sleeves I will get with the new casters, but the casters
will still fail again in a year or two.

Anyone has an opinion for better casters?

Many thanks,
-T
