how to disassemble an office chair

Whether you’re moving to a new office, need to replace a broken part, or want to give your chair good cleaning and maintenance, disassembling it is necessary. However, the process can be confusing, especially if this is your first time doing it.

 That’s why we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you take apart your office chair easily. From understanding the different types of office chairs and their components to knowing the right tools to troubleshoot common issues, we’ve got you covered. So, Let’s get started!

Things to Consider When Disassembling an Office Chair

Disassembling an office chair can seem like a straightforward task, but there are important factors to keep in mind to ensure that the process goes smoothly and the chair is not damaged. Here are seven things to consider when disassembling an office chair:

1. Remembering how the chair came 

When you begin to take apart your office chair, it is essential to remember the order in which it was assembled. Taking pictures or videos as you remove each part can help you remember how to put it back together.

2. Avoiding unnecessary disassembly

Avoid removing parts that don’t need to be taken off when taking apart the chair. It is always best to leave parts attached unless they are directly in the way of the part you are trying to remove.

3. Understanding how things connect and disconnect

Before you begin disassembling, it’s important to understand how different parts of the chair connect and disconnect. For example, some parts may use bolts, screws, or clips to hold them in place. Understanding how each part is attached will help you remove it safely and correctly. For your ease, I have explained how each part is attached, so keep reading. You will have everything you need in this blog, so don’t worry.

4. Identifying parts that cannot or should not be removed

Some parts of an office chair are not designed to be removed, and trying to do so can damage the chair. For example, the gas cylinder that controls the chair’s height is not meant to be taken apart, as it is sealed and pressurized.

5. Considering the cost of replacing certain parts

When disassembling an office chair, it’s important to consider the cost of replacing certain parts. For example, if a part is damaged or worn out, it may be cheaper and easier to replace than try to repair it.

6. Knowing the risks of damaging the cylinder

The gas cylinder that controls the height of an office chair is a critical component, and damaging it can render the chair unusable. It’s essential to be cautious when removing the cylinder and follow manufacturer instructions carefully.

7. Having the right tools on hand

Finally, having the right tools is essential for disassembling an office chair. With the right tools, the process can be smooth and may damage the chair. As previously mentioned, the necessary tools may include a screwdriver, pliers, Allen wrench, hammer, rubber mallet, lubricant, and towels or rags.

When disassembling an office chair, keeping these factors in mind will help ensure a successful and safe process. Take your time and patience, and remember that it’s always better to be cautious than to risk damaging the chair.

Things you can remove and things you can’t remove

When disassembling an office chair, it’s essential to know what parts can be removed and which ones should be left alone. Below are some standard components that can be drawn:

• Seat cushion: The seat cushion is typically the easiest to remove and is often held in place by clips or snaps.
• Base: The chair’s base is typically held by screws or bolts and can be removed to separate it from the rest of the chair.
• Backrest and armrests: These are often connected to the rest of the chair with screws, bolts, or clips and can be removed.
• Headrest: The headrest is often attached to the chair’s backrest with screws, bolts, or clips and can be removed with a screwdriver or wrench. However, it’s important to note that not all office chairs have a headrest, so it may not be present on your specific chair.
• Casters and glides: These are the small wheels or plastic discs located at the bottom of the chair legs that can be removed.

It’s important to not remove or disassemble the following components:

• Pneumatic cylinder: This is part of the chair that controls the height adjustment and is usually located inside the gas lift mechanism. It is not recommended to disassemble or remove the cylinder as it can be dangerous.
• Tilt mechanism: This part of the chair controls the tilt and is usually located inside the base of the chair. It is not recommended to disassemble or remove the tilt mechanism as it can be difficult to reassemble.
• Upholstery: The fabric or leather covering on the chair should be kept as it is often sewn or glued to the chair’s frame and may be difficult to reattach.

By being mindful of what can and cannot be removed, you can safely and effectively disassemble your office chair without causing any damage.
