They also sell glider discs you attach to legs or furniture bottoms that slide the piece across the floor rather than roll.

Janet bet me to it! Go with the polyurethane for the island. They are solid, mar resident, and one density. Neoprene casters come in different densities based on weight (sometimes hard to determine) and usually cost double the amount than the polyurethane.

I use Waxman 3-in Rubber Swivel Casters. They have brakes! I get them from Lowe's, but probably most hardware stores would carry something similar. Hope this helps~ :)

Hope your island has deep deep drawers...I would put everything in the drawers, canisters, small appliances- to de clutter the island, that way the island can be used as a work table. I hope you have a couple of electrical outlets on the surface where you can plug in a myriad of machines. My canisters are all glass jars...nothing plastic (toxic) in my kitchen! that way I can see through the lids. Also a short drawer and put seasonings in their bottles with names on lids printed in wax china marker.
