Gliders and casters: A subject in itself.
Chairs exist for sitting, but are themselves constantly in motion. They are pushed, stacked, rotated, reclined and positioned. They slide, roll and glide across the floor. What’s more, they have to do all this safely, quietly and without the chair damaging the floor in the process. To make sure that this continues to work well over the long term, furniture needs to be fitted with the right floor gliders or floor casters. The right choice will depend on various factors. Apart from the design of the furniture and the makeup of the floor, these factors include functional requirements such as preventing the furniture from tipping or the ability to link chairs in rows.
