Hi Susan,

I'm not sure it adds an appreciable precentage to the total weight already 
there.  We don't have any complaints about the pianos "walking" unless we 
don't get the casters turned sideways.
I don't notice any weight difference in moving the piano around, and it 
definitely easier not having to fight the caster swivel problems.
