Can I replace the casters on a drafting chair?

Yes — casters on drafting chairs are standardized components and are easily replaced. Most commercial drafting chair casters use a standard 7/16" or 5/8" stem diameter that pops or screws into the wheel socket on the base. Replacement casters are inexpensive ($5–$15 per set of 5) and available from office furniture suppliers. Hard-floor casters (soft rubber wheels) can replace carpet casters (hard nylon wheels) if you're moving the chair to a different floor type. Upgrade options include brake casters (which lock in place when weight is removed from the seat), twin-wheel versus single-wheel casters, or ESD-rated casters for electronics environments.
