Question about the $150 barber chair caster upgrade

I dropped the money on those fancy heavy duty casters for my main chair about six months ago, thinking it would make moving around my station smoother. It actually made the chair wobble on my uneven floor and one of the wheels started sticking after a couple months, which is a real pain during a busy cut. Has anyone found a good fix for this or should I just go back to the basic ones?

Feel your pain, I spent way too much on a "premium" floor mat that ended up being more slippery than the actual floor. Sometimes the fancy fix just makes the original problem look pretty good. For the sticking wheel, try blasting the axle with some WD-40, that bought me a few more weeks. Honestly, if the wobble is bad, going back to the basic casters might be the move for stability.

Might just rip the whole caster off at this point.
