Professional office chair assembly - gas lift installed correctly, all adjustments working, height set for your desk. Quick, efficient service so you can get to work.
More Than Just Assembly
Office chairs seem simple - base, gas lift, seat, back, done. But the gas lift is easy to damage during installation, the seat is heavier than expected, and most people never figure out all the adjustments.
🪑 Gas lift matters. Wrong installation damages the mechanism and causes early failure. A properly installed lift lasts years.

🔧 DIY Tips
Building it yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Allen keys (usually supplied)
- Phillips screwdriver
- Someone to help (heavy seat)
📐 Key steps
- Push casters firmly into base
- Insert gas lift into base
- Lower seat onto gas lift carefully
- One firm push to seat the lift
- Attach arms and back
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Dropping seat onto lift (damages mechanism)
- Gas lift not fully seated
- Overtightening bolts
- Wrong casters for floor type
💡 Pro trick: Don't hammer or wiggle the gas lift. Line up the hole in the seat mechanism, lower onto the lift, then one firm push straight down. If it doesn't seat, lift off and try again - forcing causes damage.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🖥️ Combine with desk - setting up home office? Doing desk and chair together makes one efficient visit. Proper desk height affects chair setup.
Ergonomic basics:
- Feet flat on floor
- Thighs parallel to ground
- Arms level with desk
- Monitor at eye level
Floor protection:
- Hard floors need soft casters or mat
- Standard casters mark wood and laminate
- Carpet casters slide on hard floors
Frequently Asked Questions
Office chairs seem simple - why get them assembled?
The gas lift is easy to install wrong (damaging the mechanism), and the heavy seat can hurt your back wrestling it alone. Quick job for me, no frustration for you.
Can you adjust for proper ergonomics?
Yes - I'll set seat height for feet flat on floor, adjust lumbar support, and set armrests to match your desk. Proper setup matters for comfort.
Multiple chairs to assemble?
Multiple chairs make sense together - I'll quote a sensible rate. After the first, the others go faster.
My chair is sinking - can you fix it?
If the gas lift has failed, it needs replacing. I can fit replacement gas lifts - usually cheaper than a new chair.
