Firstly, if you bought them, you bought them for the same money and protected your floors. I had doubts about whether the covers would fit between the wheel and the fender/body. But after stretching they fit great! Second, you get what you pay for in terms of frustration and setup time. They will work, but you will need to invest some effort and time to install them. As the saying goes, there are no free meals. Oh yes, and 1+1=2. I mistakenly ordered only 1 set to cover two chairs. You will receive 10 pieces, that's enough to cover 2 wheels on a 5 prong chair caster, yes! I need to order another one to cover another chair. I didn't order one, nor did I determine its usefulness before ordering another, which might be a good idea for some. Third, they are made in the USA, plus in my opinion. watch out for reviews about hot water. Soak them in hot water to make them more flexible than closer to 120 degrees. All the better, because colder temperatures make the installation hell. I suspect you can get hotter (assuming it's a TPU material) but they do warn about this so you don't burn your hand. Trim your nails, too, so you don't curse the air around you when you inevitably break or chip a nail. INSTALLATION: I removed the casters from my chair and worked at my desk, soaking 5-6 at a time in a large mixing bowl. I used a turkey thermometer to measure the temperature of the water. To make things easier I put the cap on the open end of the wheel and then rotated the wheel so the hubcap guard/housing "locks" the caps to keep them from slipping out. Frustration scale from 1 to 5, where 1 is as easy as Lego and 5 means give up and buy real TPU wheels/castors. The assembly time was 30 minutes and you will be safer during the work. This requires considerable manual dexterity and finger strength, requiring the smaller/weaker person to seek help. USE: Wheel noise is significantly reduced and the chair rolls across the floor with great traction. We have 3 inch cherry hardwood floors. I believe that we need to keep the area around the chair clean to avoid scratching the floor with the dirt collected from these covers. You also can't just roll off a hardwood floor over a carpet. Probably because of the adhesive nature, but it could be related to my carpet installation. All in all a great idea and a good product if you want to go the cheaper route.
