You are advised not to roll the base by pulling back the pole. Instead they request that you lift the base with your hands from the opposite end of the wheels but there is no gap for you to get your hand under to lift the base. It will not be easy to regularly move it around (but I guess easier than if it didn't have wheels). The wheels are made of metal. I have not rolled it on my wood deck yet so I don't know if it will cause any indentations.

Pros: Beautiful bronze tone
Cons: No easy way to roll it following instructions
