So want a new desk chair, but the thing is I was thinking making one. My idea is to buy desk chair parts and put them together.
Anyone has done it? Was it successful? Any tips?

    Not exactly but sort of. What I have done is buy a moderately priced desk chair and then upgrade the cylinder and the wheels to much nicer ones. Makes a world of different.

      I can’t recommend upgrading the wheels enough! The default wheels on Office chairs are garbage. I upgraded to the roller blade style wheels and now I get to complain that my chair is TOO easy to roll!

      Interesting, I see. I want to pick all the parts and combine them. Cylinder you mean the one thats stands up in the middle right?

        Yes they come in different lengths (and strengths) and I wanted a taller one because I’m tall.
