I have that same stand. It's awesome and looks great but has a fatal flaw. The casters. They are cheap plastic and not designed to be hauled around from bar to bar. I am very careful with my gear and have still broken three of them...especially in winter when it is cold/brittle. A little tap...and SNAP! I figured I would just go to Home Depot and get some new, better ones except it turns out they are an odd metric thread ( M8 ) which NOBODY has in stock. I finally found a guy on eBay who sells them and bought a bunch for spares. Other than that, it's a great LCD stand and I get lots of comments on it.
Yep, I broke the wheels too (also wish the stand was black but...) I found heavier duty wheels at IKEA which will take whatever size thread you need to attach them. They are $10 a pair though so I've been making do with a dodgy wheel for a while. Most times I'd say I don't even need the stand on wheels but having them has saved the stand from falling over when knocked.
