How To Fix Office Chair Height....Jury Rigged !

[wheelnut53]

I was curious as to how somebody else would do it . My chair is a bit different . My method involved a 4x4 block of wood and 4 inch bolts situated between the frame and seat . it worked but I'm getting a lot of squeaking .

@wheelnut53 Your method is good idea,but i would worry the wood might crack and break apart.

@questionvids It was a good solid redwood block against 2 flat surfaces I say was because since then I'm trying something new ., Four 6 inch table legs and the metal hardware to attach them to a table top only I did it to the wooden seat on the bottom of my chair the frame has nice size wood screws going into the ends of the legs . and still I have squeaking noises .

you can also use soft (used) cloth.. no need to buy paper towel... it gives more stability and cheaper.

@mephisto008 I like that is good idea!

It makes the chair more unstable though

@svais The chair in the video is my own personal chair that I sit in everyday, and i have not had any stability problems. Works great for me! Make sure not to stuff the cylinder base too much. Leave enough room for the chair to fit snuggly back into the base.

@svais I understand what your saying. It's just a red neck repair,quick fix, jury rig. it's an interesting project for someone who wants to alter their crappy office chair,and get more use out of it before throwing it away.
