Comes with wheels AND glides — choose rolling or fixed
A complete 28 in base that ships with both casters and bell glides, so the same chair can be made to roll or to stand still.
Frassie five-star base with casters and bell glides
Best for: A chair that should stop rolling — a stool at a bench, or a chair on a sloping floor.
Every other part on this shelf assumes a chair should roll. This base is the one that lets you decide: five polyurethane casters and five bell glides in the same box, into the same sockets, so the chair can be made mobile or fixed without buying anything else. For a stool at a bench or a chair on a floor that is not level, that is the whole difference.
The fit data is published where it matters. A 28 in base, a 2 in center hole for the gas cylinder, 11 × 22 mm (0.43 × 0.87 in) caster sockets, and an explicit instruction to measure the cylinder diameter before ordering. The wheels are described as shock-absorbing polyurethane, stated not to mark a floor or snag a carpet.
Two numbers are missing or doubtful. There is no glide height, so the drop in seat height when the wheels come off is unknown until it happens. And the load is given as 2,500 lb — the same figure as another base on this shelf, against 350 lb on a third of the same diameter, with no method on any of the three pages. On a part a person sits on, a figure that varies sevenfold between listings is telling you about the listings rather than the parts.

Because a rolling chair is wrong in several ordinary situations: a stool at a workbench that should stay put, a chair on a sloping or uneven floor, a seat used by someone who pushes off it to stand. A bell glide is a fixed foot that screws into the same socket a caster uses. Frassie includes both sets — "sliding casters and bell glides replacement, allowing you to choose between a fixed or rolling base" — which makes this the only part in this hub that can be either.
Almost certainly, and the listing does not say by how much. A caster raises the base by its wheel and fork — and Frassie does not publish the wheel size — while a bell glide is shorter. Nothing on the page publishes a glide height, so the seat will end up lower by an amount you discover after fitting. For a stool at a fixed-height bench, that is worth knowing before the gas cylinder is adjusted.
Quiet-rolling nylon replacement casters with a polyurethane coating, precision bearings, and a dual-wheel design for stability, fitting 11×22mm (0.43 × 0.87 in) stems.
Best for: A quiet, budget replacement for worn or noisy stock casters, on hard flooring.
Polyurethane casters on steel frames with the lowest load claim among the caster sets on the shelf, 650 lb — and the only listing here that qualifies its own carpet performance.
Best for: Hard floors and low pile, from a listing that tells you where it is weaker.
A replacement caster set supplied with both 10mm (0.39 in) and 11mm (0.43 in) stems, marked TÜV and GS tested and made in Europe — the only set here with both stems in the box.
Best for: Anyone unsure of their chair's exact stem size, or replacing casters across chairs of different brands.
A budget stretch-fit polyester cover that slides over a standard office chair seat to protect against dust, pet scratches and surface wear.
Best for: A quick, low-cost refresh for a worn or dusty seat on a standard-size chair.
The only cover in this hub that states how thick a backrest it will go over — 5.1 to 6.6 in — alongside a water-resistant finish and a size table that is almost the whole listing.
Best for: A thickly padded chair, or a household with pets, where the cover has to go over real bulk and shrug off a spill.
A velvet plush set with the highest spandex content on this shelf at 15 per cent, reinforced zips, and the only matching armrest covers in this hub.
Best for: A chair where the armrests are as worn as the seat, and a plush finish is wanted over plain stretch fabric.
