ᐅ Is it possible to equip Ikea Brimnes furniture with caster wheels?

Here is a brief guide in case someone wants to add casters to a Brimnes: 1. Material choice: Use sturdy furniture casters with a locking mechanism and a load capacity of at least 20 kg (44 lbs) per caster, preferably 30 kg (66 lbs). 2. Substructure: Screw a 12-15 mm (0.5-0.6 inch) thick plywood panel under the bottom of the furniture. This helps to better distribute the load. 3. Attachment: The casters are fixed to this panel with screws, but be careful not to use screws that are too long, as they could penetrate into the furniture. 4. Stability test: After installation, check the firmness to ensure the furniture does not wobble or tip over. 5. Function test: Drawers and doors should open and close without obstruction. 6. Alternative: For lighter weight or less frequent movement, felt-based furniture sliders are recommended to prevent damage to the furniture.

Caster feet on the Brimnes are feasible if you use a sturdy board as a base. Make sure to use casters with locks for safety. I would not recommend mounting them directly without a base.
