If you're on concrete, what about just getting a scrap piece of carpet
and rolling your cabinets onto that? The Marble Madness in my office
here at Heartlab is on carpet with the plastic caster wheels and it
doesn't roll around that easily. You really have to push on it.

Also, on my Battlezone I put six wheels on it. Four under the cabinet and
two on the step.

Also, add my vote to plastic wheels over rubber ones.
