Every time I sit down in my leather office chair, it slowly sinks all the way to the floor over the course of ten minutes. Is there a way to fix this without buying a whole new hydraulic cylinder?
The seals inside your gas lift cylinder are failing, which allows the pressurized air to escape when weight is applied.
A quick, cheap hack is to snap a PVC pipe or a specialized chair saver plastic spacer kit around the exposed metal cylinder shaft to lock it at your favorite height forever. However, if you still want to adjust the height in the future, you’ll need to buy a replacement gas cylinder online and swap it out.
