  • I just need to know what this type of thing is called so I can search for it on the internet. Just using "furniture wheels" does not help.

    "Casters" are more commonly used when there is an offset vertical axis around which they can pivot. Another possibility, depending on the precise use and whether they're to be mounted permanently, is "moving skate".

  • Interesting that virtually all the relevant hits are India-related. Perhaps there's something unique about Indian furniture vs. Indian floors (and maybe a need to move said furniture easily).
