Is it the wheels or the tracks that are rough? The tracks should be easy enough to replace, but when it comes to the wheels I'm lost as we couldn't find them. Where did you get your wheels?

I'd ask Billy or Eddie or one of the very experienced LA folks what you may be able to do to stabilize it. It may just be the two tables you have it on are not stable enough and you need a different table to set it on.

Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and check out the kitchen drawer tracks. The good ones are heavy duty and glide like butter. The best ones for a lot of weight are the tracks on the big industrial tool box cabinet drawers. Measure the tracks and see if you can replace them. Probably order the tool box tracks from a tool and dye store if Lowe's has no resource to them.

I work for a Ball Bearing Manufacturer and Ball Bearings ar not oiled so please don't try that. They take grease. If you can get to the bearing and it can be removed you can replace it at your local Autozone, or if you have a Motion Industries in your area or an Applied I.T. store (check your yellow pages) they can sell you a new one and it shouldn't be very expensive.

can you contact where you bought it from, maybe something is missing in the kit
what is the name of it?
We bought it off the internet. Not sure where. It was a kit and we just assemble it, everything was marked, easy to put together.

Craftybear, I do not remember who he bought it from. There was a youtube video that shows you how it works. you might want to go there and check it out. I do not have the link or anything. I saw one at the quilting show in NJ, but that one you had to bast all three layers together and then roll it on the bars, this one you have three bars. Hope this helps for those of you that are looking. He has been looking at it to see if we can replace the wheels. It does not have ball bearings it is wheels on a track. Sorry for the confusion, I am not very name savy on things like that.
