I have had my office chail for longerf than i can remember. this evening where the wheel goes into the base arm that section being pl;astic broke . Si I can no longerf keep the wheel in place
Not is all lost though . the seat assembly and centre column are ok0 as are the wheels. Now could have just bought those but for a bit extra I can and have bought a conplete new office chair.
The trick is to keep reusable parts ie seat/wheels and swap over as and when necessary.
It’s a throw away world RS, bin the chair, get a new one from China!
Cheap as chips.
I bought my office chair from an Op shop for about $5 many, many years ago. Try second hand
My chair is functioning well still Bruce, it’s RS’s chair that has gone off the rails.
Dood did you see the condition they are in? no wonder they are giving them away< also how many miles from London they are?
OK some might look a bit ‘used’ haha, but there are some good ones.
I searched on my local community site for within 10 km, no good to you but just saying maybe you should do the same. Then there’s lots for £10, 20, 30. …
just put the new chair together and what a difference it is to the old one. Old chair base plate 8x6 inches ,. new one 6x10 inches. nowherecan I fine the who;le base unit onclujding casters with the old base plate fitted, but tghen again it is at leat 15+years years old and modified with a replacement back
Did a little more research and the manufactures were taken over some years ago, hence no replacement parts. all it needed was a castor arm insert but no longer made like that
