Review on ๐Ÿช‘ Amazon Basics High-Back Executive Swivel Office Desk Chair: White, Ribbed Puresoft Upholstery, Modern Style with Lumbar Support by Nate Caldwell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A very decent chair for the price

The first thing to think about is that this chair costs $160. If you are expecting $1,000 development, you will be disappointed. However, for the price, this is a very good chair. Nice, comfortable, nothing fancy but just what I expected. However, I felt compelled to reconsider this chair because I almost got it back. The chair was fairly easy to put together, but I learned a few things that anyone considering this purchase might find helpful. If you follow these steps BEFORE assembly I believe you will be able to work around the issues I am having and save yourself a lot of time and effort. After disassembling the chair and following the steps below, I am very happy with my purchase. A few hours after assembly was complete, I noticed popping noises that got louder and louder. Lean forward, clap, as soon as you lean back, clap. It was pretty annoying and got more and more annoying over time. However, I was able to fix it with a little manual work, white lithium grease and WD40. 1) Lay the mechanism on a towel and soak each contact point with WD40. Including, and this is important because if you don't do this before reassembly you will have to disassemble the chair again to get to it, there is a bolt on the side of the mechanism that faces the bottom of the seat, make sure They water this fountain region. Loosen the spring and soak the inside of the case where the spring touches the metal. Set aside and let sit while you work on the next piece. 2) Follow the three steps in the video below to apply lithium grease to the inner shell and washers in the gas piston. Since URLs aren't allowed in Revain reviews, I turned on word choice (copy/paste) on Google to find the video I'm linking to on Youtube. After lubricating all contact points, assemble the product according to the enclosed instructions. You should wear it for a bit at night while sitting in your chair and twisting, twisting, bending over, etc. But after a minute or two, there shouldn't be any more popping noise.
