When I sit in the chair, it will not roll freely across a hardwood floor. Is this by design?

sorry, ours are on carpet behind a counter - so we don't do a lot of rolling on them.

I have one of these and it rolls freely across the floor while sitting in it. As long as your hardwood floor is level- this hair should roll just fine. You may have a defective wheel or something?

I purchased two of these chairs and have them in the garage on a cement floor. They roll freely. Are the rollers in lock position?

I found it slipped quite a bit on a hardwood floor. I used carpet grip padding underneath and it held ok. I did not use it on to of a carpet. Guessing that may give the grip it needs to stay still.

We have hard wood floors throughout most of our house and the wheels definitely don't grip. It's more like they fly over the floors. They do actually roll though, just rather quickly. And our little one is very rough and tumble so that could be part of our problem with this item.

Yes. The only place it won't go is hardwood floors onto a really thick (1-2 inch ) rug. I have a large area rug and it just goes along the side and won't go over the hump

The wheels don't have locking mechanisms, but my chair is on a fairly thick rug and it doesn't move unless I really want it to. I had initially planned to leave the wheels off, but I wouldn't advise it unless you have some sort of protective barrier between the feet and the floor.

I placed it on my hardwood floor, rolled my office chair on top of it and in no time it straightened itself. Hope this help - Sandra

I received mine rolled. I was rather surprised, as I thought it would be thick enough to rule out being rolled. Sadly, it's thinner than I thought and the castors on my chair make seemingly, permanent divots in thetop. It's difficult to roll my chair up and out of those divots. My chair pretty much stays in the same placeall the time. The only good the mat does is to protect the carpet underneath and to catch dropped items.

I roll on my wood floors, it rolls really well on them. Also, I haven't had any issue with carpet. Worst thing that has happen while rolling is my shirt bunches up while rolling. Well worth the cost!!

Well my chair is on carpet, so I don't have that issue. If you have a carpeted mat or locking mechanisms on the wheels of your chair, you'll be fine

Mine was leveled, are you sure its not your floor? Try positioning under-furniture pads under the machine where its not level.

If it was my hardwood floor I would get a chair mat to protect it. I don't trust any type wheels on my floor. And the wheels are hard plastic.

Nope, the chair will not move about. However, be sure to buy the correct size so it fits nicely. Great product.

I have this chair and, no, the wheels are not appropriate for hardwood. I've been lazy about getting replacement castors and have been using the chair for several months and they're dulling the floor around the desk :-/

Hi Pam-Anela,My Boyfriend assembled this in thier living room, which they have a hardwood floor and I don't see any problem afterwards. It rolls smoothly, easy to moves and impressive quality.

Same here. Wood and I have oriental rugs too. Depending on the size of the rug it may get stuck. On one of my smaller rugs this happens. On a yet smaller rug but sturdy one it hops on and off no problem. On a large rug I have in the dining room it sometimes hops on and sometimes it just moves along the edge. Bottom line is you have to monitor it. Or roll up the rug.

i haven't had any problems with it moving around--not in bed and not in my favorite upholstered chair. i did find my self slipping off the bed at first, but a change of bottoms and then a change of pad placed under top sheet worked well. i'm going to order another one of these. i love it!!

Try keeping the base up against a wall, so when the roomba docks it can't move the base around. Also, although hardwood floors might look even to us, if the floors are not 100% level, the unit has a hard time docking. However, I found over time that the roomba had a harder time docking on the base as the unit got older. Eventually I ended up getting rid of the docking station and plugging it in manually for recharging.
