We’re buying new chairs for our meeting room. Should we get ones with wheels or the ones with fixed glides?
It depends on your floor type and how you use the room. Here's a quick comparison:
| Feature | Wheels (Casters) | Fixed Glides |
|---|---|---|
| Best Floor Type | Carpet (soft wheels) or hard floor (hard wheels) | Carpet or hard floor—works on both |
| Mobility | Easy to roll in and out, rearrange | Must lift to move—more stable when seated |
| Stability | Can roll slightly when leaning back | Rock-solid—won't shift during meetings |
| Noise | Can be noisy on hard floors | Silent—no rolling sound |
| Best For | Flexible spaces, training rooms, frequent reconfiguring | Boardrooms, formal meetings, permanent setups |
Quick Rule:
- Choose wheels with locks for best of both worlds—roll when needed, lock in place for stability
- For hardwood or tile, get soft rubber wheels (non-marking)
- For thick carpet, wheels are essential—glides sink in
