Is There a Way to Fix an Office Chair That Won’t Stay Up? Here’s How to Fix It
In this blog, we’ll explore the causes of this issue, simple DIY fixes, and professional solutions available in Nairobi to help you save your chair and avoid unnecessary replacements.
🪑 Why Won’t My Chair Stay Up?
Most office chairs use a pneumatic gas lift cylinder that controls height adjustment. Over time, this cylinder can wear out or lose pressure, making it unable to hold your weight — causing the chair to sink.
Common reasons include:
- Worn-out gas lift
- Internal seal leakage
- Excessive pressure or weight
- Manufacturing defects
🔧 How to Fix a Chair That Keeps Sinking
1. Use a Hose Clamp and PVC Pipe (Temporary Fix)
You can wrap a hose clamp around the cylinder at the desired height, supported by a short PVC pipe sleeve. This prevents the seat from sliding down, but it removes adjustability.
2. Replace the Gas Lift Cylinder (Permanent Fix)
3. Call a Professional Chair Repair Expert in Nairobi
