I'll definitely have to mention these to them. Good to see they thought to add the lock so it can also act like a normal fixed-wheel type. On sloped surfaces it's a must. BTW: Anyone with back trouble will REALLY appreciate not having to do the "push-down-to-turn maneuver". I know I sure do!

They look just like cheap casters--I would think you'd at least need something with a tread pattern, if not something bigger and softer. Maybe someone has seen these in real life and can report back?
