    They’re great if you’re tall, though. I love mine, but I really wish I hadn’t done the roller blade wheel upgrade.

      Really? I’m not super tall but the headrest on mine is already borderline too low. The optional head pad sits at my neck which isn’t ideal. Also are roller blade wheels seriously a thing? Why would anyone want that, how do you move the chair sideways?

        Rollerblade wheels are great for hardwood floors, so they don’t damage them. They also feel nicer to move around on. Plastic casters are just shit in general.

        I actually like having the head pad at my neck.

        And like each wheel is replaced by a single rollerblade wheel. I have a desk and two work benches in my office, so the thought was that I could roll easily between them.

        But what ended up happening is any slight movement means I roll.

          Ah yeah I guess if the wheels could still rotate freely that could work in theory, I feel like in practice though it would either roll too easily like you said, or if the wheels were unaligned, get stuck or have difficulty rolling in some directions. I’m picturing like a shopping cart. I also have a thick carpet where my desk is though so it might work better on tile or wood.
