Hello fellow enthusiasts,
I ordered a Pax wardrobe measuring 250x60x236 cm (98x24x93 inches) and would like to use it as a regularly movable room divider. Has anyone had any useful experience with this?
The wardrobe will stand on relatively smooth parquet flooring. Felt pads and Teflon seem only partially suitable, as it will be quite heavy when fully loaded. So, casters? But which type and how many? I’m less concerned about the load capacity of the casters and more about the wardrobe’s structure. Could the bottom panel break through? Would it be better to reinforce it internally with screws?
I would appreciate any helpful advice.
Best regards
Marc

Many thanks for the tips and advice!!
To be honest, the issues of stiff movement of the small wheels and also stability have made me rethink, and I have decided against the idea. Using a deeper board underneath won’t make it look like I originally imagined. Hopefully, this thread will be a valuable resource for others looking for ideas in the future.
