A Quick and Easy Fix For Your Sinking Office Chair

Has this ever happened to you?  You sit down in an adjustable office chair and it starts to slowly sink down to the ground.  Now you can fix it quick and easy with a Chair Saver kit.

Adjustable office chairs that go up and down with the pull of a lever are fairly common in professional and home offices. Eventually the pneumatic cylinder goes bad and your chair will sink down while you're sitting in it.  The average life of a good pneumatic cylinder is about 5 years and much less for cheap chairs.  The reason for failure is that the rubber gasket separating the gasses in the cylinder deteriorates over time with use.  The rest of the office chair is still functional, but unusable if you can't sit at the correct height.


You used to have 2 options when this happened.  You could replace the cylinder or replace the office chair - neither option is very cost effective.  A new cylinder costs anywhere from $50 for the cheapest import that will fail in a year, to $200 for original quality replacement parts.  Don't forget the bearing kit and the $40 specialty tool you will need to properly remove the cylinder.  And there is no guarantee a universal cylinder will fit your chair and generally no returns on parts once sold.  The other option is to buy a replacement ergonomic office chair ranging from $200 to $800.


Now there's a better option.  Buy a Chair Saver kit and adjust your office chair to the correct ergonomic height in less than a minute!  And you will never have to adjust your chair again as it will always be at the correct height - no more cylinder sag, creep or bounce.  No tools are required to install and at $19.95 a kit, a business can stock them in the office supply cabinet to be used when required.  No need to store surplus chairs in the warehouse waiting for the inevitable cylinder failure.  And a home office user can keep one handy in the desk drawer.


Buy a Chair Saver kit before your home office chair starts sinking and get another 5 years of service when the gas lift cylinder fails.  Pull the compact kit out of your desk drawer and your back to work in less than a minute.  That's money in your pocket instead of in a new chair!
