Broken Office Chair

Post by **sandman67** » Sat Oct 17, 2009 7:19 pm

This may sound odd but bear with me.

I have a nice faux leather office/desk chair at home, and as usual the crappy plastic base spider legs & castors have given in and two are now knackered. My fault for leaning back too hard on em.

Thing is, the top part is OK and seems a waste to just lob it away.

Heres the question: Is there a shop round town that can fit a new base on it, or alternately is there a metal worker about who could hammer me up a set of tubular metal legs for it and weld em on without setting fire to it or buggering it up even more?

Im not mean and stingy...just hate wasting a perfectly good seat because the legs broke. Seems wasteful.

Anyone?

Well just last week mine went. The spider leg as you describe. I'd had it a few years not as fancy as yours though. Well I decided to dump it but sellotaped the broken part to the leg so that when they went through the skip they could give it a go at fixing it. Ok put it in the skip and before i could get into the car it was whipped out again. Now resides at the new aircon shop opposite the skip on the right on soi 102. Ask them how they did it, blue chair if your passing
