Chair Casters FAQ
DEAS (Desk Ergonomics Assessment Score) is Desk Doctor’s product rating system. Each product is scored across core performance, build quality, and design penalties, producing a 0–10 composite — higher is better. Tap any row in the table to see the full sub-score breakdown.
Most office chairs use a standard caster stem, so quality replacements drop in without tools. Check your chair’s stem size if you’re unsure before ordering.
Hard-floor casters use a softer wheel that protects wood and tile; carpet casters are firmer to roll over pile. Using the wrong type makes the chair feel sticky or scuffs the floor.
Scores are refreshed as products are revised and new models are tested. The table always reflects the current DEAS data.
