To solve this issue, lubricate your computer seating mechanisms and pneumatic lift cylinder. WD40 normally will do the trick!

In most cases, office chairs will have an adjustable knob located somewhere underneath your seat. Try tightening the knob and testing the chair. Your problem should be resolved.

A: Office chair leather is very similar to vehicle leather. That being said, picking up a tube of leather wipes at your local auto supply shop will come in really handy. Once every few months, pull out a wipe and give your leather office seating a quick cleaning to keep the upholstery looking fantastic.
Q: What should I use to clean my fabric office chair?

However, if your chair requires a stain removal, consult your dealer on what types of cleaners will work safely on your chairs specific upholstery. In most cases, a simple fabric upholstery cleaner can be purchased at your local hardware store and used effectively.
Q: Why are my chair arms wobbling?
A: If you attempt to adjust your ergonomic office chair arms and they feel loose or wobbly, it's time for a quick adjustment. Grab a set of allen wrenches or screw drivers (depending on what your chair requires) and tighten the screws that attach the arms to the underside of the chair seat. This should solve your problem
Q: Why doesn't my chair roll effectively?
A: This common issue is most regularly caused from debris being caught in one or all of the casters. First, flip your chair over and inspect the wheels. You might just be surprised at what you've picked up rolling around the office. Paperclips, tacks, and other debris can cause your chairs casters to function poorly. Remove all the fodder and the problem should be resolved effectively.
Q: My chair has a polished frame and arms that are starting to fade. How do I stop this?

To solve this problem, pick up a can of non abrasive metal polish at your local hardware store (you chair manufacturer will be able to suggest helpful products to use on your specific model). Apply the cleaning solution and wipe lightly. The finish should definitely come back to life!

Q: Why is my chair leaning to one side?
A: If your chair is leaning to one side, it's typically the result of a bad connection between the pneumatic lift cylinder and the seat mechanism. Try removing the two from each other and reconnecting correctly. A good connection between the cylinder and mechanism should have your chair sitting level.
