Is Your Office Chair Getting Sluggish Moving On Your Carpet?

I realized the other day that my office chair was getting really sluggish and awkward to move when working at my desk. The chair had got the right type of casters so I decided to look further.

It’s got industry standard hooded twin caster wheels and when I turned the chair upside I found they were choked with carpet fluff. I blew it out with compressed air, trouble is the wheel spindles are sealed so it didn’t help.

So this left two alternatives, either fit new casters with the prospect that the problem would come back in the future or buy a chair mat as the wheels would run a lot better on a smooth surface.

I opted for the chair mat and I’m glad I did my chair moves far better now, it’s surprising how conditioned you can get to a less than perfect situation, so problem solved and carpets protected at the same time too.
