My office chair is not happy. The height adjustment on it has stopped
working and it is now set at the lowest level. If I try raising it
(by pressing the lever) nothing happens, if I physically pull the seat
up, it drops straight back down.

I've had a look at it, but there is nothing obvious (apart from a
screw falling out, and I can't for the life of my work out where it
came from). I'm not sure what the mechanism for controlling the
height is, either a spring or gas strut I would think.



Thanks for the various replies (and the promptness), I think you've
confirmed my diagnosis. The chair is one that I use at home, so
cannibalising another one probably isn't an option. Looks like I'll
have to have a rummage down the back of the settee to see what I can
find in the way of loose change, and buy another :-(

It's worth visiting your friendly local used office furniture warehouse
and seeing if they have something second hand in good condition.
