now im sure there have been many posts about a office chair breaking but i am trying to find a way to fix mine, ill start by telling you what happened. i was sitting in my shair and my freind came up and puched me to the side, me being on carpet the wheels dont roll very much so the chair tilted and stayed that way. i took the base off and found that the wooden base had cracked at one of the screwpoints so it must have pushed through. i payed alot for this char and havent had it long so i called the manufacturer and to my surprise they wont fix it, i figured that much. my thought is to cut a 1inch thick peice of wood and somehow attach the base to it, then paint it black and screw it against the existing wood. would this be able to fix my chair? and how would i attatch the base to the new peice of wood?
