I have owned 3 office chairs I bought from Costco for about 5 years now. They are awesome for the price.
One of the chairs started “dropping” a few inches quite regularly. To the point I was ready to donate it and spend the cash on a Herman Miller as my wife has one and it’s very nice. I just couldn’t justify going from a $100 chair, to a $1000 chair.
I came across this replacement cylinder after my office mate bought a set of the rollerblade wheels and thought I’d give it a try.
Well it sat on the box for a few weeks and I finally got around to replacing it yesterday.
Man.. what are earth was I waiting for?!? What a difference. Never thought I’d be this excited about a chair cylinder but this thing is worth its weight in gold. No more dropping and raising. My chair even sits a little higher AND has just a few mm of bounce o would say.
Highly recommended upgrade.
The install was a little bit of a pain, but mostly because I was trying to rush. Follow the directions and it’s super easy!! Also, wear the gloves. I didn’t and got grease from my old one everywhere. Ha.
Think I’m going to try the wheels next for a whole new chair experience.
