A malfunctioning office chair can be a drain on your productivity. Height-adjustable chairs are quite the norm now but it so happens that the gas cylinder that helps adjust the height is easily (and commonly) damaged. It always helps if you know exactly how to repair it, especially if you work from home (read alone). It’s rather easy – all you have to do is replace the cylinder.
Nicole Groshek from National Business Furniture explains how to do that.
How to Replace an Office Chair Cylinder
Does your chair sink down throughout the work day? Is it difficult for you to adjust your chair either up or down? If you are having these issues, you may need to replace the gas cylinder on your office chair in order to get it to function properly once again. This is actually a pretty simple process. Materials you will need:
- A rubber mallet
- A pipe wrench or a screw driver
- A replacement cylinder—you can request a new one by contacting NBF’s customer service at 1-800-558-1010 or online.
- WD-40—only necessary for older chairs or when you are having a difficult time removing parts of the chair. See full post here.
