Default Warning: Chair casters

I discovered this morning, to my dismay, that 'office' chair
rollers/casters come in more than one size. The only size at Walmart didn't
fit my chair. I ended up attaching it diaginally and put screws in the two
opposite corners instead of all four like the original. I hope it lasts.

Do some measuring before buying yours.

Or you could consider shopping at a specialist, e.g.

(which lists on this page alone 16 varieties.)

All casters are not created equal
