Moving things around the house? Casters will do the job!

Like almost every busy family in America, you have to balance many things at once. The kids need a toy storage bench in their new playroom but they also need one in the living room. You only have one, and it currently holds all of their toys. How are you going to be able to accommodate this request? By using casters of course!  Simply attach a few of our casters with brakes to the legs of the bench and you can easily wheel it from room to room or wherever it is needed.

It’s as simple as that for many common household furnishings. Move the kitchen table around when you are entertaining or move the sectional around to accommodate more seating. Roll the towel chest outside when the kids have a pool party or the bar out to the yard. Do you have a chair that matches your desk but wish it had the flexibility of an office chair? Install some casters! The possibilities are nearly endless!

Whether it’s a couch, bookshelf, decorative office chair, or television stand, attaching some furniture casters can open a whole new world of design opportunities for your home! Check out our huge selection found on our website.

So, What’s the Difference between a Wheel and a Caster?

We all know what a wheel is, right? It is one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind! It makes things move. It allows things to progress. It brings life with it wherever it goes. Of course there have been other technological advancements since, but the wheel still stands strong as one of the most important. As people and their needs change over time, so do their tools. You may be thinking, “How could the wheel have changed?” It evolved and became more specialized.  So, what’s the difference between a wheel and a caster?

A caster may sound foreign to you; however, you've definitely experienced them on your trip to the supermarket or even at your job—think shopping carts and office chairs. In essence, a caster is an undriven, single or double wheel that is designed to be attached to large objects so they can be moved easily. They can spin. They can go in any direction. They can do things that a regular wheel cannot do!

If you want to experience what a caster can do, consider mounting them to your toolbox, or piano, in order to make them easier to move. Casters can make moving to a new house easier, and they can even make your job in the kitchen more manageable. They can be used for so many things! Although a wheel and a caster are incredibly similar, they serve different purposes. If you want to learn more about caster wheels, caster parts, and caster carts, visit AccessCaster.com today!
