Office Chair Caster Purchase

When purchasing office chair casters, it is essential to consider factors such as type, price, sales volume, and services.

I. Selection by Type

1. Fixed Casters: Such as reinforced solid-core fixed casters for swivel chairs (¥1.71), suitable for stationary scenarios like fixed workstations or conference chairs, offering strong stability but limited flexibility.
2. Swivel Casters: The mainstream choice, supporting 360-degree rotation, ideal for scenarios requiring frequent movement. Examples include:
   • Cross-border trade 2-inch PU transparent swivel casters (¥5.32), featuring a transparent design that is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for modern office environments;
   • Insert-type 3-inch transparent swivel double casters (¥8.5), with a double-wheel structure for stronger load-bearing capacity, suitable for gaming chairs or executive chairs;
   • Aluminum alloy 2-inch swivel casters (¥20.9), made of metal for durability and quiet operation, suitable for clean rooms or laboratories.
3. Braked Casters: Such as snap-ring casters (¥4.0) or premium 2-inch threaded braked swivel casters (¥1.44), which can be fixed in position using the brake function, suitable for scenarios requiring temporary positioning, such as training chairs or medical equipment.

II. Balancing Price and Sales Volume

1. Economy Type (¥0.5-¥2.0): Such as 2-inch swivel casters for office chairs and swivel chairs (¥0.5), with high monthly sales but possibly ordinary materials, suitable for short-term use or limited budgets.
2. Mid-range Type (¥3.0-¥8.0): Such as factory-wholesale swivel electroplated silver-rimmed casters (¥3.0) or premium 2-inch crib swivel casters (¥8.5), balancing durability and cost-effectiveness, suitable for long-term office use.
3. Premium Type (¥20.0 and above): Such as office desk swivel casters with silent rubber nylon moving bases (¥200.0), usually designed as complete bases with excellent load-bearing capacity and stability, suitable for heavy furniture or high-end conference scenarios.
   Sales Volume Reference: Products with monthly sales exceeding a thousand units (such as cross-border export 2-inch all-black furniture casters, ¥2.8) generally have high market recognition and can be prioritized.

III. Paying Attention to Additional Services
Some merchants offer services such as 7-day replacement, 48-hour shipping, or material guarantees. For example, threaded rod swivel casters (¥0.48), although low in unit price, have monthly sales exceeding a thousand units and may include after-sales guarantees, suitable for bulk purchases.

IV. Adapting to Special Needs

1. Silent Requirements: Choose TPR or PU material casters, such as threaded TPR silent casters (¥8.9), to reduce movement noise.
2. Load-bearing Requirements: Casters of 3 inches or larger (such as cross-border export 3-inch transparent swivel double casters, ¥8.5) have stronger load-bearing capacity, suitable for heavy office chairs.
3. Hidden Design: Invisible 360-degree rotating swivel casters (¥3.5) can be embedded into furniture bottoms, maintaining overall aesthetics.
