Bookcases & Shelving — Expert Answer
Can you get a bookcase on casters so it can be moved around the office?
Mobile bookcases on casters exist and are practical for shared or reconfigurable spaces. Look for heavy-duty casters rated for the full loaded weight of the bookcase — a standard 36" bookcase loaded with binders can weigh 150–200 lbs. Locking casters are essential so the unit stays put during use. Note that most tall bookcases (72"+) shouldn't be put on casters because the raising of the center of gravity creates a tip risk. Mobile units are most practical at 42"–48" heights. FindOfficeFurniture.com can recommend bookcases with caster options — call 888-719-4960 for the best deals.
