Repair Office Chair Accessories

Admin October 09, 2026

Accessories that may be involved in repairing office chairs include base trays, gas cylinders, chair legs, wheels, armrests, backrests, etc. There are significant price differences among different accessories, and it is necessary to select the appropriate model for replacement according to the specific damaged part.

Base Tray Accessories

The base tray is the core supporting component of an office chair, responsible for connecting the gas cylinder, chair legs, and seat surface, while also controlling the chair's lifting and rotation functions. Common repair accessories include ordinary lifting bases (such as gaming chair bases, swivel chair repair parts with seat bases featuring lifting adjustment, priced at approximately 6.36 yuan) and high-end stainless steel bases (such as in-stock stainless steel bases for repairing office chair swivel chair bases, controller bases with lifting functions, and chair turntable trays, priced at approximately 75 yuan). Low-priced bases are mostly made of basic plastic materials and are suitable for ordinary office chairs; high-priced bases are made of stainless steel or thickened engineering plastics, with stronger load-bearing capacity, suitable for heavy users or high-end ergonomic chairs.

Armrest Accessories

Armrest damage usually manifests as looseness, breakage, or failure of height adjustment, requiring replacement of the armrest bracket or the entire assembly. The price of repair parts for adjustable and rotating computer chairs, ergonomic chairs, armrest brackets, and handles is approximately 153.57 yuan, while the price of repair parts for mesh chairs, computer chairs, office chairs, staff chairs, swivel chairs, armrests, backrests, mesh back chairs, and backrest armrests is approximately 67.4 yuan. High-priced armrests mostly adopt ergonomic designs, supporting multi-directional adjustment (such as forward, backward, left, right, up, and down rotation), and are made of high-strength plastics or metals; low-priced armrests have simple functions and thinner materials, suitable for short-term use scenarios.

Notes on Other Accessories

The gas cylinder should be selected according to the chair's height requirements for stroke length (such as the commonly used 80-120mm stroke for standard office chairs). Poor-quality gas cylinders may pose an explosion risk, and it is recommended to choose products certified by SGS; chair legs are made of nylon and metal materials, with nylon chair legs being lightweight but having limited load-bearing capacity, and metal chair legs being more durable; wheels should be selected according to the floor type (such as carpet wheels and hard floor wheels), as hard wheels may scratch the floor. Before repair, it is necessary to confirm that the accessory model matches the original chair to avoid secondary damage caused by size mismatch.

If the office chair is a branded product (such as Herman Miller or Sihoo), it is recommended to contact the official after-sales service first to obtain original accessories. Non-original accessories may affect the chair's stability and warranty terms.
