I did the extra work to provide understanding and multiple options (I apologize if I made it look complicated or confusing). All you need is a one dollar pipe nipple of the correct length from the hardware store, and a flat head screwdriver. It literally takes about five minutes to install and complete. Example: www.homedepot.com/p/Southland-3-8-in-x-3-in-Black-Steel-Nipple-582-030HN/100192847 Or if you already own some existing pipe, you can cut something and make it work at no cost!
Well done on the video. It helped me out when i was about to throw my $100 chair out the window. I like all the options of fittings you provide and you go into detail about further processes. Nice video. 👍
My wifes chair has been collapsing for at least seven or more years now. I had a 1/2" nipple a little too short. So I added a coupler screwed tight and cut to proper length. Fixed in about 30 minutes. This is about one of the easiest solutions to a problem I have seen on TH-cam yet. Just never though of a so simple fix. Thank a Lot
I like how you messed with several options. Most guys would have done it one way and sold it as the only way ... this gives me several ideas. Sweet. Good, direct, narration - thanks for scripting the narration and sticking to it. short and sweet. nicely done. JR
Thanks, I really appreciate it! I do script everything out in advance to insure that the information in my videos is well structured and thorough, without wasting time or missing information.
AMAZING VIDEO... precise, clearly spoken, to the point, with options available, and a conclusion. What more can a person ask for, really not much. Thanks 🙏 I am ready to fix my chair.
I like how you said this isn't a cylinder replacement video but it actually gave me the knowledge to change out a brat of a cylinder that wouldn't just pop out of the base with a few rubber mallet strikes. Thank you!
Just fixed mine thanks to your video. Used a 3/8 inch by 3 1/2 inch pipe nipple inside a 3/4 inch by 3 1/2 inch pipe nipple as my spacer, took less tha 5 minutes. I am now a subscriber Thanks much for the guide!
I love you. No joke. i have been sitting on the same exact chair for the past 9 months without a proper fix and no money to buy a new one. I am 2meters and 2 cm's tall, and my chair wont raise anymore. Needless to say my backpain has been terrible and unbearable. So thank you, for the extra effort you put into this video. You have saved the spine of a 24 year old
I bought a high end chair from a second hand store for $15 but the problem was as indicated in this video, it didn't go up or down. I solved the problem using the exact process outlined here. Amazing, and thank you.
You are my hero, I have this same chair and am in the same situation, I managed to use some 3/4 pvc pipe cut to length and filed down the plastic washer to fit inside the pipe like you showed and the chair is so firm and sturdy again, I have been dealing with this chair sinking for months now and finally have sweet sweet relief, thank you very much
This fix was awesome. Saved me many bucks in some minutes. Very well explained and alternatives suggested in the video. Have your like and comment good sir!
Thank you so much, no more sudden sinking jump scares, it took me less than 5 minutes to apply your fix. nearly tossed my chair for this exact problem. you're a life saver (and money) ♥
OMG! You BLOODY LIFESAVER!! lol. My good chair (about 5-6 years old) blew out a 2nd time about 9-10 months ago (I actually bought a new gas cylinder the first time) and fortunately my building manager gave me a 2nd hand chair for nothing, so I just threw out the old one. Anyway, 6 months later and the cheap version he gave me developed a faulty cylinder (i'm cursed lol). It's xmas coming up and I didn't want to shell out on a new chair, and this chair is too cheap to bother with a new cylinder, so I've just been putting up with it. Today it slipped down about 10 times in an hour (more than usual) so I thought I'd TH-cam search a DYI fix. And BAM!! Saw your vid! I fortunately had some left over 2.5cm pipe from a project a while back, used my Bunnings Pipe cutter to cut to the correct length (following your awesome instructions) and WHAMMO! Problem solved! Like you I NEVER use the up/down gas lift anyway (unless it's fixing it when it sinks down) so this is perfect! THANK YOU SO MUCH, You just made my day! Actually more like YEAR! haha. GOD BLESS DIY HOW-TO VIDS!! haha. Merry Xmas and Happy HYE to you and yours!
After multiple options to buy a hydraulic rod and their prices and feedbacks ..finally after viewing multiple videos, yours was the best one that gave multiple options and check points and explained very nicely.. I finally picked a lot of things from your video and then implemented in fixing my sinking office chair and it works perfectly well.. now I don't have to buy a new rod. Thank you my friend for posting such a valuable clip ..keep it up with such best practices !!!take care.
Mate you are an absolute champion! 5 minutes and an angle grinder on a piece of junk spring I had in the garage and my back, neck and wallet thanks you. Cheers from down under!
Thanks so much for this excellent solution! Did not have to spend a single buck on making sure my old chair stays up in it's highest posistion! You deserve all the thumbs up one can give!
Conveniently the hydraulic lifts on the GTRacing website were sold out(I wonder why) so I stumbled upon this video and I'm really glad that I did! This was actually super easy and takes two minutes to do. Head over to lowes and head over to the plumbing section to find the pvc piping. You can find skinny 2' pipes for about 3 bucks and they'll even cut it down to the size you need in store. I also picked up about four half inch 'coupling' pieces. I ended up using 3 coupling pieces instead of the pipe because I forgot to account for the length of the bushings, so the pipe was about a half inch too long and I couldnt use it! Still worked perfectly fine with the coupling pieces and ended up saving myself 30 bucks THANK YOU!!!
Thank you! I fixed mine in a few minutes. I didn't have any of the tools and materials in the video, and thank God I had the idea to improvise with the hollow rubber part that comes with sewing threads. Sitting comfortably on it while I type this. Mucho thanks!!!
Vielen Dank ! Das war der einfachste und beste Tipp im Netz . Ich habe einen zum Simmering passenden Rohrsteckschlüssel auf ideale Länge gekürzt ,eine passende Mutter in den Kopf als Distanzhalter gesteckt und fertig war der Stuhl !
Thanks so much for this. Like you, I prefer my chair all the way up. Not only did you save me the cost of a replacement gas cylinder, but while adding the pipe nipple I discovered why my chair was a bit wobbly. One of the washers inside was disintegrating. So that got fixed as well. Thanks again!
i was having an issue where my newly purchased office chair came defective and the metal rod inside the gas cylinder was sliding all the way through the bottom of the chair and touching the floor. I couldn’t find anything on the internet related to my situation but this video actually helped me because once i removed my gas cylinder from the chair i realized that the metal and rubber washer inside were insanely lubricated, which the ones in your video weren’t. So i washed then clean and reinserted and the problem was fixed 🎉 thanks for showing and explained the parts of the chair and their purpose, really helped me figure out what the problem was!
I didn't have some of the extra things you mentioned, however we were able to DIY that part and my chair now fits firmer underneath me thank you very much
Thank you! I found a chair that someone threw out and I fixed it with pvc lying around. Really simple instructions to follow and it was fixed in minutes.
This is perfect! Took me 7 minutes to fix my chair as you suggested including time to find some old pipe in the basement and cut it to size. I also saw other videos about replacing the whole gas cylinder which costs around $23 for a replacement on Amazon. I'll keep that in mind if I decide I miss the chair being adjustable.
Great video, even overly helpful with the calipers. I broke mine out just to hasten the process 1.25 pvc cut to fit DONE. Thanks for this simple solution. saved me several hundred dollars on a new chair at least for a few years.
Thanks a lot, this was great tutorial, really easy to follow! I would also like to recommend screw-nuts as option. I used about 15 screw nuts, since I didnt have tools to cut pipes, and it works perfectly!
Thanks. Very simple instructions. I cut off a piece of rubber garden hose and used that. It is hard enough to support my weight, but soft enough to provide some dampening. It acts like a rubber bump stop on car suspension
Hey, you’re the best. I was going to throw my chair away but then I saw your video. I found some spare heavy duty plastic spacers (from washing machine for shipping). Drilled them out so the piston would fit. Reinstalled the parts and my chair is comfortable again. Thanks
Great video, i'm sitting in a randomly sinking chair as I type this. I was fully ready to buy a new one. Now i'm heading to the hardware store for a HUGE savings vs buying new. Thank you!
Thanks for the great video! My gaming chair has recently started to sink, but only sometimes and only to a height that makes it slightly irritating to sit in. I tried to fix it by putting a hose clamp on the upper part of the cylinder at the desired height, but the clamp either moved under weight or broke when I tried to tighten it. I never thought about using a pipe inside the cylinder itself. It's a rather ingenious solution to an irritating problem, in my opinion. I removed the lower cylinder as you showed in the video (it was easier than I expected), took some measurements, and went to the garage. I quickly found a pipe of the right width and cut it to the correct length. With just some electrical tape on the thin cylinder to keep it centered, the chair is like new again. I can't lower it, but since the maximum height is perfect for me, it doesn't really matter. Thanks again for the great video!
Thanks for the info this helped a lot. I just found some pvc in my garage and cut it to the right size, added some electric tape to fit it and it was perfect.
This was an Awesome fix!!! It was exactly what I was looking for! Easy to follow directions and the multiple options and diagram really helped. Thank you and keep up the good work! I'm subscribed and alerted 😁
Great fix Great video. My barstools kept sliding down especially with overweight people. Watched your video and fixed my 4 stools. I used 3/4 EMT with a steel washer on either end. Cut them just a just about a 1/4 inch shorter so the piston still works a little. Works great!
WOW WOW WOW!! Thank you Thank you Think You!! In 2023 I found not one but two Gaming Chairs! I took them home and cleaned them up real good One slowly sinks, the other doesn't keep it's height. Again, thank you!!
Just fixed my chair with a piece of pipe i got for like 1 dollar at a 2nd hand store. Chopped it to length with hack saw and about 40 min later this chair is better than ever. Thanks!
Right on. I didn't have that brand of chair but the part that needs fixing was the same. I just found the metal tube from an old fan base by the dumpster. It was only an 1/8 bigger than the washers, so I called it good. Done. Thanks :)
I recently got an office chair for free and it was a little beat up and the gas cylinder was busted so it sank constantly. I found this video and I got it fixed in under 10 minutes! Very useful thanks for the help!
Great video! Just got a new chair online and the gas lift was busted. They wanted me to pay for postage to get it fixed, but thanks to this video i fixed my chair for free :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial! 😁 I was losing my mind with my chair randomly sinking. Found a pipe lying around the house and cut it down with a hand saw. Easy peasy!
There is definitely more than one way to solve a problem. This is my personal preference because ad a mechanical engineer, it is the most structurally secure in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
Man I really enjoyed watching your video, you gave me a solution for my problem (however I dont think I will do anything about it because I'm lazy lol) but mostly I like how you narrated it, great video bro!
THANK YOU super helpful video I just used a lot of nuts that fit snugly around the inner pipe to fill the gap and keep it at full length, but your way is probably much safer!
Thanks bro I didn't use what u said but I did something different I didn't have a pipe or anything so opened it and used a big amount of black tape and now it's perfect
I didn't have the same tools as you, so I just cut strips from a black tshirt and wrapped them such that the chair couldn't go down more than I needed it. Thanks for the general idea!
Wow! exactly what I needed! and your instructions were very clear, thank you so much for providing alternative fixes and taking the time to test them!!
Thank you, I have a tall desk so my chair's arm rest didn't reach the table until now. Probably going to buy a new chair because It's not the only problem but it's a great fix until that.
absolutely badass... i'm almost 400 lbs and all i could find was a thin metal handle for an old sponge on a stick! But the difference is night and day... Sheesh! being 6 FT my knees was killin me you really helped a lot of people man now i just need to find a way to make my desk a little bit higher 😅 also would not recommend using cheap metal like I did.
dude thank you so much cause im very tall and have long arms and so when my chair would stay at the lowest it hurt my shoulders cause they were constantly shrugged up now its all good cause it s fixed
I have the same problem on my chair. I followed your video, solved it by installed a steel tube which made up by 1 piece of 1/2" BSP nipple & 2 pieces of 1/2" BSP sockets. Thank.
Thank you, since my sister ask if I can fix her gaming chair, seems I know now where to look at and fix the issue than disassemble everything. All I need is the material needed.
Thanks for the video. I'd have to really like my chair to go through all of that. I'm going to give it a shot just because I don't want to toss out a good chair. I liked the spring idea. That would be the option I would try for my own taste, Thanks for doing the homeowrk.
I did the extra work to provide understanding and multiple options (I apologize if I made it look complicated or confusing).
All you need is a one dollar pipe nipple of the correct length from the hardware store, and a flat head screwdriver. It literally takes about five minutes to install and complete.
Example:
www.homedepot.com/p/Southland-3-8-in-x-3-in-Black-Steel-Nipple-582-030HN/100192847
Or if you already own some existing pipe, you can cut something and make it work at no cost!
Well done on the video. It helped me out when i was about to throw my $100 chair out the window. I like all the options of fittings you provide and you go into detail about further processes. Nice video. 👍
I appreciated all your options shown so I could make the best choice for my chair. It was a very easy fix.
You explained it perfectly and I loved that you shared multiple solutions. I bet I have on hand all I need to fix mine!
This worked great for me. Thanks for being so clear and not wasting a lot of time at the start with irrelevancies.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Glad it helped!

This has been the best chair fix I’ve seen, I had all this stuff laying around my apartment ☺️ thanks again
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Thanks man, for giving a permanent solution to this problem. ❤
I just fixed my chair just like you said to do & it worked perfectly .Thanks
Awesome!
I just used this method on my desk chair and am very happy with the results! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Nice! Glad it helped!
Thanks so much for this excellent solution!
Did not have to spend a single buck on making sure my old chair stays up in it's highest posistion!
You deserve all the thumbs up one can give!
Lol. Thanks, I appreciate it. Glad it helped!
I have the exact same chair, and my piston/cylinder failed within 2 months! Thank you so much for passing along your wisdom!
Wow, that didn’t last long. Glad the video helped!
Great video and saved me from having to get a new cylinder or chair. I 3D printed a tube made to measure and it works great.
Very nice. I should make a follow up video with all of the great viewer ideas. Great job!
its simply works, i fix it within a 10 mins........ thanks brother
Awesome! Great job!
You saved my life :)
Really helped me.. took me about 5min. followed your instructions and now I sit up high again..
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Worked like a charm. I fixed my chair with a $3 pipe nipple from HD. You saved me a lot of money. Many thanks.
Awesome! That’s great to hear!

It worked like a dream. Thanks for such a simple way of demonstrating the fix.
Glad it helped!
Great fix given most people have a height they prefer and adjustment every time due to a leak is a pain in the arse! well done!
Awesome !!!!! After 2 year still very useful. Fixed my chair in no time. Thank you.
Awesome!
All the same parts present on my chair. PVC worked perfectly. Good video. Thank you.
Awesome!

Great idea! Just need to fill the gap with something structural. Great job!
of all the video i watch about changing gaslift chair, this video helps me out! thanks
Thanks. Very simple instructions.
I cut off a piece of rubber garden hose and used that. It is hard enough to support my weight, but soft enough to provide some dampening. It acts like a rubber bump stop on car suspension
Excellent!
Thank you for the video. i 3d printed the tube i needed. it was 1,1cm x 2,4cm diameter and 9.8 cm long. it was a hour long print and it works great.
Awesome!

Best video of this Topic so far on the WEB, thank you buddy you Rock!
Thanks, I appreciate it! Glad you found it helpful!
I'm very grateful for your advice, you helped me to save a bunch of money because I had 2 chairs with the same problem. Thanks a lot.
Great! Glad it helped!

Great fix Great video. My barstools kept sliding down especially with overweight people. Watched your video and fixed my 4 stools. I used 3/4 EMT with a steel washer on either end. Cut them just a just about a 1/4 inch shorter so the piston still works a little. Works great!
Awesome! Glad you got it handled!
WOW WOW WOW!! Thank you Thank you Think You!!
In 2023 I found not one but two Gaming Chairs! I took them home and cleaned them up real good One slowly sinks, the other doesn't keep it's height. Again, thank you!!
Nice!
Just fixed my chair with a piece of pipe i got for like 1 dollar at a 2nd hand store. Chopped it to length with hack saw and about 40 min later this chair is better than ever. Thanks!
That’s perfect! Great job! Glad your chair is back in operation!
Thank you for the video. Fixed my chair!! No more going down and up.
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Right on. I didn't have that brand of chair but the part that needs fixing was the same. I just found the metal tube from an old fan base by the dumpster. It was only an 1/8 bigger than the washers, so I called it good. Done. Thanks :)

Glad it helped you out!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! 😁
I was losing my mind with my chair randomly sinking. Found a pipe lying around the house and cut it down with a hand saw. Easy peasy!
Perfect! Glad it helped!
Excelent!!!!!! arreglé mi propia silla en menos de 15 min con los materiales adecuados. Muchas gracias.
I can't call this a fix, have many video on TH-cam, more simple and really fixing the problem. Yes, much more simple.
There is definitely more than one way to solve a problem. This is my personal preference because ad a mechanical engineer, it is the most structurally secure in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
much appreciated mate
just did what you did to my chair worked like a charm
Awesome! I’m still using mine!
Super helpful. I loved it and the fix was so easy. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Great job fixing your chair!
Man I really enjoyed watching your video, you gave me a solution for my problem (however I dont think I will do anything about it because I'm lazy lol) but mostly I like how you narrated it, great video bro!
Thanks, I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@HowtoandReviewsOfficial true thing, you are a really good Producer !!
THANK YOU super helpful video I just used a lot of nuts that fit snugly around the inner pipe to fill the gap and keep it at full length, but your way is probably much safer!
That’s perfect! That will absolutely do it!
Can't thank you enough! Chair is only 3 months old and didn't want to toss!
Wow! Glad it helped!
Thanks bro I didn't use what u said but I did something different I didn't have a pipe or anything so opened it and used a big amount of black tape and now it's perfect
Perfect! That will do the job!
This was perfect, made a big difference! Probably get another 4-5 years out of this chair now (:
I used the 3/8" by 3" nipple and it worked great. Thanks for saving me from buying a new chair!
Awesome! Great job! Glad it helped!
I didn't have the same tools as you, so I just cut strips from a black tshirt and wrapped them such that the chair couldn't go down more than I needed it. Thanks for the general idea!
Perfect! You just need to fill the gap; pipe, washers, pencils and duct tape, … or a shirt! Great job!
Wow! exactly what I needed! and your instructions were very clear, thank you so much for providing alternative fixes and taking the time to test them!!
Glad it helped!

Thank you, I have a tall desk so my chair's arm rest didn't reach the table until now. Probably going to buy a new chair because It's not the only problem but it's a great fix until that.
absolutely badass... i'm almost 400 lbs and all i could find was a thin metal handle for an old sponge on a stick! But the difference is night and day... Sheesh! being 6 FT my knees was killin me you really helped a lot of people man now i just need to find a way to make my desk a little bit higher 😅 also would not recommend using cheap metal like I did.

Thank you, since my sister ask if I can fix her gaming chair, seems I know now where to look at and fix the issue than disassemble everything.
All I need is the material needed.
Glad it helped!
I found an old flash light and hollowed it out, and used it to hold my weight on my gaming chair. Thanks for the help man!
Perfect! Great job!
Thanks for the video. I'd have to really like my chair to go through all of that. I'm going to give it a shot just because I don't want to toss out a good chair.
I liked the spring idea. That would be the option I would try for my own taste, Thanks for doing the homeowrk.
