Description
To install a stem ball caster on the bottom of a wood ottoman leg you could drill a hole in the bottom of the leg and push the stem in. This would work – for a while- then the hole would deform, and the caster would wobble. A correct installation requires a reinforcing interface that would protect the integrity of the hole so that the caster stem would remain stable. The solution is Tech Team’s #919 4 prong insert bushing for stem casters. It is simply a metal tube with 4 prongs for anchoring it to the bottom of the wood leg and an internal dimension sized to fit the caster stem. It is the perfect fitting for both replacement and new installations.
