    Default Wheels for retreat chairs

    Sometime last year (I think) on Bonnie Hunters blog she showed someone's idea they had made to convert retreat chairs to be on casters while they were at the retreat. I remember it was set of four. There were casters on the very bottom, then a screw that went up through the base of the caster and tennis balls that were cut for the retreat chair to go into so it did not slide all around.

    I can't find my picture or link. Anyone know of the link or any great ideas for something that can be made to put on retreat chairs to make them roll.

    Thanks!!!!

    I googled wheels for retreat chairs and immediately what came up showed small 3 roller dollies with a perforated tennis ball mounted on the top to accomodate the chair legs. That would equal 6 rollers or wheels for one chair. Camp Lebanon, the retreat that came up with the idea, sells them for $40 per set. I've seen the tri-wheel roller dollies advertised in furniture moving equipment.
