Office Chair Disassembly Method

Admin October 12, 2026

The disassembly methods for office chairs vary depending on their types and designs. Here are detailed steps for several common scenarios:

Complete Disassembly and Base Replacement for Ergonomic Computer Chairs

For ergonomic computer chairs, if you need to replace the base, there is usually a complete disassembly tutorial. First, flip the chair over so that the bottom faces up and observe the connection structure between the base and the chair body. Generally, the base is fixed to the chair body with screws or clips. Use an appropriate screwdriver or wrench to unscrew the screws securing the base one by one. If it is a clip connection, locate the position of the clips and gently pry them open with a tool or your fingers to separate them. During the disassembly process, be sure to keep the removed screws and parts safe to avoid losing them. After disassembly, install the new base onto the chair body in the reverse order, ensuring that the screws are tightened and the clips are properly engaged to ensure a firm base installation.

Disassembling Ergonomic Chairs Without Professional Tools

Some ergonomic chairs can be disassembled without professional tools. First, inspect the various connection points of the chair to find manually operable clips or knobs. For example, if the backrest of some chairs is connected to the chair body with clips, locate the clips and gently press them with your fingers or a simple tool (such as a small screwdriver) while pulling the backrest upward or to the side to separate it from the chair body. For the connection between the seat and the chair frame, if it is a detachable design, it can usually be separated by rotating or pulling. During the disassembly process, act gently to avoid damaging the chair parts by using excessive force.

One-Click Disassembly of Welton Seat-Type Chairs (Applicable to Some Office Chairs)

Some seats are designed with a one-click disassembly function, which is relatively simple to operate. Face the chair directly, find the disassembly lever on either the left or right side of the seat, hold the disassembly lever with your hand, and lift the seat upward at the same time to complete the one-click disassembly. You can also hold the disassembly levers on both the left and right sides of the seat simultaneously and then lift the seat upward for disassembly. After disassembly, fold up the support legs. If the chair has ISO-FIX interfaces, fold them up as well for easy storage or transportation.

Disassembling the Gas Cylinder

If you need to disassemble the gas cylinder of an office chair, face the chair directly, step on the five-star base with your feet, and pull the lifting handle upward to raise the chair to its highest position. Be careful not to release the handle during the lifting process. Then, hold both sides of the chair with your hands. Since the longer the chair has been used, the more force is required to pull it upward, adjust the force according to the chair's usage condition. While pulling upward, shake the chair from side to side. This will make it easier to pull the gas cylinder out of the five-star base.
