Computer chairs: types and design - how to choose the right one?

Types of office chairs

Kinds

  • Executive chairs. This type of chair differs from others in its solid appearance and large size. For upholstery, natural leather is most often chosen.
  • Chairs for staff. There are two main criteria for them: convenience and reliability. Appearance is also important here, but attention is primarily paid to the gas lift mechanism, the shape of the backrest and seat.

This category includes operator models with armrests and computer chairs.

Kinds

  • Chairs for visitors. The main criterion in production is convenience, because guests of the organization should feel comfortable while waiting for the reception.
  • Child seats. They are provided with a large number of mechanisms that allow you to adjust the backrest, seat and height. The materials used in production are completely safe.

The design has no sharp corners or crevices where a child’s fingers could accidentally get caught.

Tips for choosing

Gas lifts for office chairs, like all devices, can fail over time, but you can repair them yourself. Breakdowns are usually caused by:

  1. Manufacturing defects. The phenomenon is rare, but sometimes occurs, especially in budget products. If the warranty period has expired, the repairs are carried out independently.
  2. Gas lift overload. There are situations when a structure designed for one weight is used by a heavier person or two people sit on it. Then the parts of the mechanism wear out much faster and more severely.
  3. Incorrect operation. Damage occurs if you sit down suddenly or take a running start. The device is overloaded, which can lead to the valve being squeezed out.

The documents included in the package contain information about the maximum permissible user weight. Basically, this is 100 kg, but more expensive and reliable devices are produced, which are designed for 120 and 150 kg.

If the gas lift for an office chair breaks down, it is not enough to repair it; it is important to choose the right new design. The correct choice is very important, since discrepancies in parameters will again lead to rapid wear. The following points should be taken into account:

  1. Product dimensions. The structures are manufactured with different dimensions, so the gas lift is selected in accordance with them.
  2. Cup holder diameter. It comes in two types, so choosing the right option is easy.
  3. Gas lift height. It is necessary to measure the length of the product, taking into account the fact that part of it is located inside the cross.
  4. Maximum load. The product class should be selected depending on the weight expected during operation. Moreover, the fact that other people can use the chair is also taken into account. If a piece of furniture is at home, then most likely all family members will sit on it.

Gas lift plays a very important role in office and computer furniture. The chair is designed in such a way that the spine does not get tired when sitting for a long time. The mechanism makes it easier to work in the office and makes staying at your home computer more comfortable.

Arrangement of office chairs

Principle of operation

To ensure comfortable work at the desk, office chairs have the ability to:

  1. Height changes, which allows you to adjust the desired seat height to suit the height of any person.
  2. Changes in backrest angle. This suggests that the back is always in contact with it, even if the person’s position in the chair changes.
  3. Rotations around its axis.

For clarity, it is necessary to consider the operating principle of a gas lift - a device that is responsible for adjusting the height:

Principle of operation

  • The metal body contains a cylinder in which the rod and piston fit. This cylinder contains 2 reservoirs, and between them there is a closing valve. When the seat position is low, the piston is at the top.
  • To raise the chair, you need to lower the piston. When a person presses the adjustment lever, the button responsible for opening and closing the valve is touched. The valve, in turn, moves gas from the first reservoir to the second.

The gas presses on the piston, causing it to lower, while at the same time the chair rises.

  • If you release the button, the valve closes. This means that gas movement becomes impossible and the chair is fixed in a certain position.
  • To lower the seat position, you must press the lever, which will open the valve again. Under the influence of the person's weight, the cylinder lowers, the piston rises and pushes the gas into the external reservoir. The chair lowers at this moment.

Is it possible to do without gas lift?

When choosing a work chair, some users prefer to save money and purchase a product without gas lift. In fact, it turns out that such pieces of furniture are inconvenient. Due to the fact that the chair cannot be adjusted to suit you in height, your back begins to hurt when sitting for a long time. Another advantage of a gas lift seat is the ability to rotate. This greatly simplifies the work process and saves time. The employee does not need to get up from the table every time and move his chair back to get the right thing.

Chairs without gas lift are most often purchased for office guests; they can be placed in a conference room, training room - in general, somewhere where you don’t need to sit for too long.

Chairs with gas lift are used not only in offices. For those who like to sit at the computer, they are indispensable in the home environment. Today, many manufacturers offer comfortable chairs for gamers with gas lift, back and neck support. The height adjustment feature is especially important for families with children. You can buy a chair for growth and not worry that your child will be uncomfortable in it.

Characteristics of office chairs

Characteristics and Features

All characteristics are divided into 2 groups:

  • Providing passive comfort. These include the shape and size of the chair and armrests, rollers on the base structure, anatomical thickenings on the seat and back.
  • Providing active comfort. In this case, it is very important to have mechanisms that allow you to adjust the chair to suit you: you can change the angle of the backrest, the depth of the seat and adjust the height.

Office chair mechanisms

Permanent contact

Permanent contact

A chair with permanent contact is suitable for people whose time is devoted to working at the computer. Properties:

  1. The chair easily tilts back - this prevents long-term stiffening of the spine.
  2. Height adjustable.
  3. Seat depth is adjustable.
  4. There is a hardness adjustment.
  5. There is no position locking function - the back is constantly in motion.

Piastra

Piastra

A special unit that connects the seat base to the gas lift rod. Fastens with four bolts. It has holes that allow you to attach the backrest. In this case, various docking options can be used:

  1. A spring-screw mechanism that constantly supports the back in a certain position.
  2. Ovalina, which allows you to change the depth of the back and its height.
  3. Permanent contact that regulates the height of the backrest and its angle of inclination.

Freestyle

Freestyle

Freestyle adjusts the stiffness of the backrest. Its setting depends both on the physiological characteristics of the person and on his personal preferences.

Rocking

Swing (tilt) – a swing mechanism with fixation of the working position. Divided into 2 types depending on the location of the swing axis:

  • Central-axis, when the swing axis is located directly in the center.
  • With an offset center when the axle is in the front.

The tilt mechanism is usually used in chairs of low and medium price categories. People weighing more than 100 kg are not recommended to use it due to the welded bushing, which can break under high load.

Multiblock

Multiblock

The multiblock allows you to adjust the chair's height, use the ability to swing and fix the backrest. The height is controlled by a lever located under the seat on the right. The lever that adjusts the swing and fixes the position is usually installed on the left.

The swing amplitude is regulated by a special screw, which is located in the center.

Anyfix

One of the levers adjusts the seat height, and the second turns on the swing. A chair with such a mechanism has the ability to fix the position due to metal plates that compress at a certain moment.

Anyfix is ​​typically used in low to mid-priced chairs.

Synchromesh mechanism

Synchromesh mechanism

The essence of this mechanism is that when the backrest is tilted, the angle of the seat changes. The maximum comfortable proportion is 3 to 1: if you recline the backrest by 3 degrees, the seat will recline by 1 degree.

The synchronized mechanism prevents the chair from tipping over, allows you to freely change the sitting position, provides back support, and also allows for a rocking function.

Asynchronous mechanism

An asynchronous mechanism, unlike a synchronous one, makes it possible to change the tilt of the backrest without affecting the position of the seat.

Slider

It is responsible for adjusting the seat depth depending on the user's wishes. Typically, manufacturers use 5 main positions, one of which the user can choose.

Base design

Cross

Cross

The crosspiece (five-beam) is a support for the user.

The design of the cross includes rollers, which are divided into groups depending on hardness:

  • Harder casters made from nylon and polypropylene are suitable for tile or stone floors.
  • Polyurethane rollers, distinguished by their softness, will be an excellent replacement for hard ones for parquet or laminate flooring.

Types of armrests in office chairs

Methods for attaching armrests

There are three ways to attach the armrests:

  1. To the seat. In this case, the armrests can be removed if necessary, without damaging the structure of the chair.
  2. To the back and seat. In this case, they are a kind of connector between these two parts of the chair.
  3. The armrests are attached to two parts of the chair, but the back and seat are separately connected to each other using a metal plate. In this case, they can be removed without violating the integrity of the frame.

Material

Seat material

Various materials are used to upholster the seats of office chairs.

Textile

  • Series C is pure synthetics, similar in properties and appearance to burlap. It is commonly used to upholster visitor chairs and low-cost operator chairs.
  • ZT series – 100% polyolefin. It is used for inexpensive operator's chairs, chairs for visitors, but is sometimes used for management chairs.
  • Microfiber. It is soft to the touch, the fibers do not stick to clothes and do not form pills. It is easy to care for because it is stain resistant. This fabric is suitable for upholstery of mid-price operator chairs, chairs and executive chairs.
  • JP Series. It is resistant to fading and stains, but, unlike microfiber, it is also resistant to wear. Armchairs and chairs for visitors, executive chairs and operator chairs are upholstered with this fabric.

Leather

Leather

The basis for classifying leather is its quality and processing methods:

  • Category A. The surface is completely processed during the production process. It is rough and thick, but at the same time durable. A long period of work is carried out on the workpiece: irregularities are puttied, painted and sanded several times.

After these procedures, a polymer is applied to the skin, which is designed to protect it from moisture and dust. The second name for such material is Split. Split leather is used in the manufacture of chairs for visitors, executives and business class furniture.

  • Skin category B is partially corrected. It belongs to luxury leather. Animal skins with the fewest flaws are selected, so they are of higher quality.

In this case, the skin is not worked on for long: it is slightly corrected with putty and painted. In this regard, it has good breathability and hygroscopicity.

Leather of this category is used for upholstery of chairs for visitors, management and in the production of luxury furniture.

  • Category C leather is almost not processed in any way. For its production, very high-quality skins with a minimum number of flaws are chosen. The top layer does not change in any way, only natural dyes with virtually no color are applied to it.

Leather in this category has the highest level of hygroscopicity. It allows air to pass through well, and sudden temperature changes and ultraviolet rays will not affect its quality in any way.

Due to its originality and exclusivity, it is used only in the production of executive chairs and premium luxury furniture.

Leatherette

Leatherette

Divided into 2 types:

  • Vinyl leather, practical and inexpensive. The basis of this material is PVC-coated fabric. There is nothing complicated in its processing, caring for it is also easy, in addition, there is a wide variety of textures and colors.

Most often, low-price operator chairs, executive chairs, and furniture for offices and public places are made from this material.

  • Eco-leather is a modern material that consists of PU-coated fabric. “Furniture fabric” is resistant to low temperatures and wear, and is quite elastic. It is as easy to care for as it is to handle during production.

Another advantage is that manufacturers try to diversify the range of textures and colors as much as possible. A significant disadvantage is that it is inferior to natural leather in moisture removal, that is, hygroscopicity.

Armchairs and chairs for visitors, office furniture, and executive chairs are upholstered in eco-leather.

Plastic

Plastic

Products made from this material are the cheapest, which is why they are not intended for managers or even employees, because it is impossible to sit on them for a long time.

Very often, plastic chairs and stools are placed for visitors waiting in line to be received.

Back material

Back material

The back is upholstered with the same materials as the seat, that is:

  • various types of fabric;
  • natural leather;
  • leatherette.

To these are added 2 types of mesh:

  • TW series mesh fabric. On average, its thickness is 0.5 cm. This fabric is used to cover the backs of computer and operator chairs, chairs for visitors and chairs for business class executives.
  • Acrylic mesh. Breathability prevents the accumulation of moisture, and properties such as resistance to wear, repelling dirt, dust, water and sunlight explain its enormous popularity.

The acrylic mesh backrest is used for seats for visitors, executives and business class operators.

Base material

Base material

Most often, a cross is used as a base for office chairs. It is similar in color and material to the armrests and consists of 5 rays. Its diameter may vary, but the smaller it is, the less stable the entire chair is.

The following materials are used in production:

  • Plastic. Inexpensive material, can withstand loads of up to 250 kg.
  • Metal. Respectable and reliable, but quite heavy.
  • Metal frame with wooden overlays.

If the base of the chair has legs or runners, then wood or metal is usually used to make them.

Repair options

If the permanent contact or crosspiece fails, you can do the repair yourself. Broken piastres, pneumatic cartridges, and swing mechanisms will have to be replaced with new parts. The same rule applies to damaged wheels.

Replacing rollers

Over time, the rollers may fall out of the beams of the cross due to wear of the plugs, especially if the latter are made of aluminum or plastic. To repair these elements, you need to perform a number of actions:

  1. The chair is turned over so that the rollers are on top.
  2. The wheels are removed from the cross. To do this, you just need to pull them towards you.
  3. Remove the casings from the beams of the cross using a screwdriver.
  4. Damaged plugs are pulled out of the housing.
  5. Install new seals and assemble the parts in the reverse order: casings, then rollers.

A broken wheel is treated with superglue or replaced with a new one. A common cause of breakage is the accumulation of debris, hairs, and threads. In this case, the rollers are removed, cleaned, and installed in their original place.

If the socket for fixing the axle of the wheels in an office chair fails, most likely you will have to change the crosspiece.

Breakage of piastres

You can repair an office chair yourself if the technician has experience working with mechanics. First of all, it is necessary to clarify what material the crosspiece is made of. It is better to replace the plastic part immediately, since it is pointless to restore a fragile product. Restoration of piastres is carried out as follows:

  1. The chair is turned over, for convenience, its seat is placed on a chair so that the back is pressed against the floor surface.
  2. The wheels are removed from the mounts.
  3. Unscrew the 4 bolts that secure the rocking mechanism and piaster to the seat.
  4. Disconnect the gas lift by lightly tapping it with a rubber or wooden hammer. You must act carefully, otherwise the mechanism will become deformed and become unusable. The “stuck” compound is treated with a special liquid.
  5. Using a screwdriver, remove the pneumatic cartridge stopper, the washer, and then the gas lift rod.
  6. The piastra is knocked down with gentle tapping.
  7. Repairing a plastic part involves gluing and soldering, but these methods are only relevant if there is minor damage.
  8. The broken beam of the crosspiece is fixed with plastic or metal plates, secured with screws or superglue. Metal parts are restored by welding.

Destruction of the swing mechanism

If the swing mechanism breaks down, you will have to replace it. The part is attached to the seat with 4 screws, so for dismantling you need to perform a number of steps:

  1. All connecting bolts are unscrewed with a screwdriver.
  2. The pneumatic cartridge is carefully knocked out of the mounts.
  3. Drill holes in the part or use adapter plates.
  4. Replace the damaged element.

A computer chair is a popular type of furniture, but most models are made in China. Domestic spare parts that can be found in the relevant departments are not suitable for them. In this case, you will have to order parts or try to repair the swing mechanism yourself (for this you will need a welding machine).

Air chuck failure

The pneumatic cartridge is a two-chamber product, inside of which there is air under pressure. The gas lift cannot be disassembled and repaired at home; only a complete replacement of the part is possible. To repair an office chair with your own hands, you must follow the instructions:

  1. Disconnect the fasteners that hold the mechanism. To do this, remove several screws from the seat.
  2. The seat is removed, the gas lift is removed, after lightly hitting the structure from the side of the cross.
  3. The mechanism is removed from the metal case using a wooden or bronze drift.
  4. A new pneumatic cartridge is installed in the crosspiece and fixed to the seat.

The mechanism may break due to careless handling of the office chair, exceeding the recommended loads, or prolonged use. Self-disassembly of the pneumatic chuck is strictly prohibited, as the technician may receive serious injuries. The optimal solution would be to purchase a new part and replace the damaged one.

Destruction of permanent contact

Thanks to permanent contact, the office chair provides reliable support for the spine. If a part breaks, you do not need to purchase a new one; you can repair it yourself. The necessary actions will depend on the nature of the failure:

  1. Deformation of the thrust spring, bending of the brackets. To restore elements, it is necessary to return them to their original shape.
  2. Wear of screw fasteners. In this case, only replacing them will help.
  3. Loose backs. Sealing the permanent contact connections will help get rid of this problem.

A step-by-step description of the steps will help you figure out how to properly repair an office chair without resorting to the services of specialists. Usually, work on replacing and restoring elements does not cause difficulties for home craftsmen. After repairs, it is necessary to follow the standard rules for operating furniture, and then the products will last longer.

How to choose an office chair

How to choose

First you need to determine who the chair is intended for. For the company's clients, budget options for chairs using inexpensive materials or furniture in the mid-price segment are suitable.

When purchasing chairs for staff, you should pay attention to the presence of armrests, as they provide comfort while working. The manager's chairs should emphasize his status.

For the boss, the main thing is quality, and this can only be achieved through the use of expensive upholstery materials.

The second important step is to choose the material for the upholstery of the seat and backrest, taking into account the budget, the properties of the materials (strength, repelling moisture and dirt, environmental friendliness) and personal wishes.

Third, decide on the design of the base:

  1. Legs are commonly used in visitor furniture.
  2. Runners are found in chairs for visitors and bosses.
  3. A five-arm with wheels is suitable for staff and management.

How to choose

Fourth, pay attention to whether there is a cushion in the lumbar area, which is designed to maintain posture in the correct position. Its presence is mandatory for office employees and managers.

The fifth step is to select the appropriate maximum backrest angle.

Next you need to choose a comfortable seat, which can be:

  1. hard;
  2. soft;
  3. semi-soft.

Afterwards, you should pay attention to the appearance, choose a color that should match the style of the entire company and the surrounding interior.

The last thing to do is ask about the warranty period. The warranty on the chair must be at least two years.

Varieties

Gas lifts for chairs are divided into types depending on the size of the structure and the strength of the steel. Before choosing a suitable modification for a computer or office chair, you should study all the nuances. The first thing you need to pay attention to is the device class, which indicates the thickness of the steel and the permissible load:

  1. The first is budget fittings, the metal thickness is only 1.2 mm, such a gas lift is suitable for children's models.
  2. The second one also belongs to the inexpensive segment, the steel thickness is 1.5 mm and will not withstand heavy loads.
  3. The third is a type of gas lift with a metal thickness of 2 mm, maximum load 120 kg.
  4. The fourth is a reinforced case with a metal thickness of 2.5 mm, permissible weight 150 kg.

Variety of IKEA armchairs, basic designs and iconic models

In addition to classes, gas lifts differ in body diameter. Existing sizes:

  1. 50 mm - used in almost all models.
  2. 38 mm is a rare diameter; such gas lifts are mainly installed on executive chairs with a high cross.

Another important parameter is the length of the gas lift. This indicator determines the maximum seat height:

  1. 20.5–28 cm. The device is designed for chairs that are used in offices with standard desks or computer desks. This gas elevator has a relatively small range of height settings.
  2. 24.5–31 cm. Used when you need to raise the chair more than the standard height.
  3. 29–41.5 cm. The longest gas lift with wide height adjustment options.

When a gas lift breaks, the user is faced with the question of how to choose a new mechanism and what to pay attention to. Even a minimal discrepancy in characteristics can lead to rapid wear of a new part, so when purchasing you need to consider the following points:

  1. Gas lift size - mechanisms can have different dimensions. You need to make sure that the part will fit correctly into the base of the chair.
  2. Cup holder size - there are only two diameter sizes, so choosing the right one will not be difficult.
  3. Height - it is necessary to measure the length of the old part, taking into account that part of the gas lift is inside the cross.

Features of placing a chair on the balcony, suitable furniture models

You also need to pay attention to the load. The class of the mechanism is selected depending on the body weight of the owner of the chair. If the furniture is used at home, most likely, the entire household will sit on the chair. For office furniture, it is better to choose a gas lift with a maximum load.

Which is better

Which is better

The best office chair meets the following requirements:

  • comfortable armrests made of metal or wood, attached to the base of the chair;
  • ergonomic backrest with different tilt angles and fixation in several positions;
  • soft seat padding;
  • hygroscopic and easy-to-care upholstery material (mesh, eco-leather);
  • the presence of a synchronizing mechanism and a lever for changing the height.

What is

The gas lift used in office chairs is a device that is similar to the lifting mechanism of a dump truck, but smaller. Its other name is gas spring. Externally, it is a metal pipe with two parts of different sizes. The gas lift mechanism is fixed in the upper part to the base of the seat, in the lower part it is attached to the cross. The lifting height depends on the size of the pneumatic cartridge, the length of which varies from 13 to 16 cm. Gas lift functions:

  1. Seat position adjustment. When you press the lever, the structure rises if you stand up a little to reduce resistance, or lowers under your body weight.
  2. Reducing sudden load on the spine area. When lowered into the chair, the mechanism works as a shock-absorbing device. The seat is springy, significantly reducing the load on the spine.
  3. Possibility of rotation 360 degrees. Due to the features of the system, you can easily reach objects that are at arm's length, located on both sides.

The hydraulic cylinder is configured for actions that are necessary when working simply at a desk or at a computer.

Exploitation

Exploitation

Each material has its own method of care:

  • Leather. Easy to clean with a damp cloth. To remove greasy marks, use a dry sponge. Buy a special product for caring for leather products and wipe the chair with it at least once every six months.
  • Textile. If a stain appears on the chair, it can be removed with a damp cloth or a special cleaning solution.

If you are dealing with stubborn stains (ink or paint), then it is worth purchasing a special solution. Regular vacuuming is recommended.

  • Tree. A rag with water is inappropriate here - special solutions without abrasive particles are needed.
  • Metal and glass. There are 2 options: either a damp, clean cloth, or a special cleaner for cleaning metal and glass parts. After this, you need to take a dry cloth and polish it until it shines.

Cloths with stiff fibers, sponges containing metal shavings and products that cause corrosion should not be used.

Precautionary measures

Precautionary measures

To enjoy the use of the chair, you must follow basic safety precautions:

  • Do not place too much stress on the armrests.
  • Consider the maximum weight that the chair can support: a chair with a plastic base can support up to 120 kg, with a wooden cross - up to 130 kg, and with a metal one - over 200 kg.
  • Avoid impacts on the structure and foundation.
  • Use only in dry rooms with an air temperature of 17 degrees or more.
  • Avoid contact with acids, alkalis and dyes.
  • Periodically inspect the fastening of nuts, screws and screws.
  • Do not stand on the chair or armrests - this may harm your health.
  • Do not allow two or more people on the chair.

Do not leave furniture near fire or at temperatures above 50 degrees.

  • Do not leave objects with sharp edges on the chair.
  • The chair should not be used to move heavy objects.
  • Correctly use the levers and mechanisms of the chair.
  • Do not create a dynamic load on the armrests.
  • It is recommended to select rollers depending on the hardness and unevenness of the floor surface.
  • Try to keep all nuts, bolts and other small parts in a box so that they do not get lost.
  • When walking behind the chair, do not use explosive substances (gasoline, acetone) or solvents not intended for this purpose.
  • Do not expose the chair to ultraviolet rays.
  • The humidity level in the room should not exceed 70%.
  • After complete assembly, it is necessary to check the strength of the entire structure and its elements.

Principle of operation

The operating principle of a gas lift for office chairs is simple. A rod with a piston moves along a cylinder located in a body made of metal. There are two containers in the pipe, and between them there is a valve. It can be in a closed or open position, when gas moves from one cavity to another along the passage channel. When the seat is positioned at the bottom, the piston is located at the top. When the lever is pressed, gas moves from one container to another. In this case, the piston moves down and the structure rises.

To fix the seat at the required height, the lever is lowered, the valve closes, and the lifting of the chair stops. To lower, the lever is pressed, and the structure begins to lower under the weight of a person. The gas piston allows the chair to be adjusted in height and rotated around its own axis. A special spring significantly reduces the load on the spine during a sharp landing, thereby preventing many diseases.

Malfunctions, repairs, spare parts

Malfunctions, repairs, spare parts

The most common breakdowns:

The lever responsible for changing the height of the chair does not work. Causes:

  • damaged gas lift or swing mechanism;
  • breakage of the tab located in the piastra structure (if this mechanism is installed in the chair);
  • breakdown of the multiblock that fixes the backrest in a certain position;
  • errors that occurred during the production of the chair and the fastening of the armrests or piastres.

Solution: to fix the problem, first try to relax the multiblock. If this does not lead to anything, it is worth rearranging the fasteners. If this does not work, you should contact the service center.

Malfunctions, repairs, spare parts

The mechanism for locking the backrest in a certain position does not work. Solution: the connector for the backrest and seat is permanent. Check its integrity and serviceability.

There is a lot of play in the back, although all fastenings are well fixed. This problem occurs when using the chair for a long time.

Due to constant loads, there is a possibility of failure of the fastening system.

Solution: repair the fastening system or buy a new chair.

Malfunctions, repairs, spare parts

Seat play. Possible reasons for this could be: breakdown of the gas lift, piastra fastening or tilt mechanism. This usually occurs due to constant movement around the office. Solution: replacing the gas lift.

Unfastening the rollers. Reason: a large and long-term load caused the circlips to break, the plug to wear out, or the roller itself to break.

Solution : option one - complete replacement of the wheels.

Product disassembly stages

If an office chair breaks, the first thing you need to do is disassemble the structure. To do this, you will need a rubber hammer, slotted and Phillips screwdrivers, and a ring drift. All actions are carried out in stages:

  1. First of all, remove the seat, turn the chair over, and remove the fasteners.
  2. Unscrew the bolts that secure the armrests and remove these parts along with the plates.
  3. Disconnect the fasteners holding the permanent contact.
  4. The crosspiece is separated from the pneumatic chuck by gently tapping the connection with a hammer.
  5. The wheels are removed from the mounting sockets, and the plugs located in the steel case are removed. The procedure is performed using a slotted screwdriver.

The procedure for making a rocking chair from different materials with your own hands
All manipulations with the mechanisms are recommended to be done while holding the structure suspended so as not to break the fragile plastic parts. For the same reason, you should not use physical force when unscrewing fasteners. After completing the dismantling of the computer chair, you need to collect all the parts in one place so as not to lose anything.
