I feel the tilt method is easier to push over carpet. Will four wheels, if you're not very careful there's a chance on pushing it over since it's going to be quite top heavy. Then again, if you have a 27" TV in there, you have to consider that's a lot of weight to hold as you move the cab. I'd think the danger of tilting would be the cab sliding away from you and falling, not so much dropping on top of you. Generally you're not going to be under the cab as you push it. |

Anyways, you can always let the cab down fairly easy if something like this were to happen. If you can't, well then you shouldn't have been moving the cab in the first place. ;) |

There is much less of a chance of toppling a cabinet with 4 wheels (unless you are an idiot) than having to tilt it 45 degrees to move it with 2 wheels like a dolly. With 4 wheels, you simply push on the bottom -- it's just about impossible to tip it over that way. Also there is no need to 'wait for help' if you have 4 wheels. I can't imagine tipping my huge cabinet over to move it. Maybe a small Pacman cab but not a large one. |

What if I did both? Put normal casters on the front bottom and then those corner casters on the back? I have wooden floors at my house. And Shardian, please post a picture of your caster setup. |
