What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives conflicting wheel diameters: 26.4 cm in the title and 25 cm in the feature text. It also lists dimensions of 26L x 12.8W x 28H centimetres, so the actual wheel diameter is inconsistent and should be confirmed before purchase. The manufacturer's descriptions of a silent wheel, non-toxic material and a support that prevents entrapment are claims, not independently confirmed here. Follow the care instructions to avoid soaking or machine-washing the wood, and store it dry with the wheel standing securely.

Only two ratings are reported, and the overall rating is middling, with the distribution split between five-star and one-star ratings.
