They stayed on the ground with no problem. Now it was a love seat, not a full size sofa, it was not a sofa bed so it was not very heavy. Probably not much more then a some of the golf bags I have seen around here.
Think of those carts they add a rear seat to and have two people sitting on. Do the front wheels lift off? Never seen it happen. So you can place some weight there with no problem.
Hey it worked fine. Might have looked a little strange but for some reason I don't really care any more about that.
