Pro Installation Tips

1. Measure Twice:

   ·   Stem diameter (common: 10mm/11mm)

   ·   Plate hole spacing (e.g., 4cm×2cm caster wheels with side plate)

2.Weight Calculations:

   ·   Example: 200kg bed → Four 50kg+ wheels (e.g., 4 caster wheels × 60kg)

3.Floor Compatibility:

   ·   Carpet: Small wheels (2-inch) sink in – use wide-tread pivoting caster wheels

   ·   Tile/Concrete: Nylon casters prevent cracking
