They are at the bottom of the chairs and with normal use, they will wear out. They need to be replaced before they wear out completely to prevent damage to the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With normal use they should last for at least 3 to 5 years, depending on the use.
