This guide covers repairing the caster wheels on an Ikea Malkolm Office Chair Model Number 20196812.
When office chairs are used on carpet flooring, the casters are susceptible to falling out, or they would need to be replaced due to wear and tear. This simple guide will cover removing, cleaning and reattaching the caster wheels using household objects. Some other possible issues are also covered, such as applying a lubricant if the wheels are too stiff or locking the casters in place.
The process will also involve using a sharp-edge tool that could cause injury, so follow the guide with caution to prevent injury.
