Great idea, but had to further ream out suggested hole size 1/2" to use. Will probably have to glue insert in place over time.

I have just purchased an antique map cabinet 2' x 5' that weights 140 Lbs but was only 30" high. I put 3' stem casters with a 3/8 thread to bring the cabinet to 34". Drilled into the legs at 1/2' and fitted 2 of these inserts per hole. It took 20 minutes total for the total work and the casters are perfectly stable and snug thanks to the inserts. Now the map cabinet is a great looking kitchen island.

The threaded insert was difficult to insert with the tool that I bought for this job so I used a a 3/8 bolt with a washer and my impact driver followed by a 3/8" ratchet wrench and that was the best method of helping the insert go straight into the wood. I used this insert in teak so they are durable.
