Packaging
The office chair castors from EWESK arrived for our test in the typical shipping box. This was undamaged on arrival and could be easily opened by removing the adhesive strip . The individual castors were wrapped in plastic film in the product box. This packaging method optimally protects the product from external influences. As a result, product protection was fully guaranteed and the office chair castors were delivered in perfect condition .
The packaging is partially recyclable. In contrast, the plastic film cannot be recycled. Notwithstanding this, the presentation of the product makes a very good impression.

We really enjoyed using the office chair castors from EWESK during the test. Installation was effortless without tools and can be carried out by anyone. All we had to do was remove the old castors from our chair and insert the new ones. The required size can be easily determined in advance using a measuring tape or calipers. The manufacturer covers almost all common office chair models with 10 mm and 11 mm. You can choose between white and red-black, which makes the castors stylish, elegant and special . On the other hand, a simple black option would also be desirable.
In our test, we attached the castors to a gaming chair. The first time we rolled them, we noticed that the product faltered briefly when turning before the direction was changed. Otherwise, the office chair castors glide easily and silently over the floor (laminate, carpet and tiles). The floor remains scratch-free so that a floor protection mat is no longer required.

Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Good | 90 points |
| Rating cut | Not rated, as there are still too few customer reviews | |
| Total | 90 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
Prices of over €50 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products, on the other hand, are available for as little as €10. The office chair castors from EWESK are therefore in the middle price segment with a current price of €29.95. Consequently, the price ratio is good for the quality and scope of services you receive.
