Swivel chairs are widely used in offices for the flexibility and mobility they offer. Different kinds of swivel chairs include stools, patio chairs, desk chairs, and reclining swivel chairs. As the name denotes, swivel chairs are equipped with casters or tiny wheels fitted within caster frames that allow whoever is sitting down to move from one end of his desk to another more easily.
The office is not the only place where swivel chairs are found. We commonly see them in bars, restaurants, salons, and other business establishments. At home, swivel chairs can be put almost anywhere from the kitchen, the living room, and the patio to your own private study. They may be covered in different kinds of material such as leather, vinyl, and almost any kind of fabric.
Sitting on a swivel chair somehow gives one a liberating feeling. Even kids love them! They are mostly tough and durable but are not exempted from having some parts broken after prolonged use. With their functionality, who can resist not using them? It’s a good thing that finding replacement swivel chair parts have been made easier. Apart from local hardware and furniture stores, there are scores of online sellers that offer a wide range of office chair parts.
Swivel Chair Base
The swivel chair mechanism is the core part of a swivel chair base. It carries the levers that allow the user to adjust chair height and depth and maneuver the chair. There are two types of swivel chair bases: the manual and the gas type. Gas type swivel chairs are much more commonplace today because they are easier to use. Bases differ in shapes, sizes, and style. There may be legs, to which casters are attached, extending from the base.
Swivel Chair Casters
Swivel chair casters are basically the frames that house the wheels that transport swivel chairs from one point to another. They need to be tough because they carry a person’s weight and are constantly being used. Swivel chair parts sellers make available replacement casters in different sizes. Diameter sizes for casters are 50 mm, 65 mm, and 75 mm. The performance of a swivel chair partly relies on getting the right sized casters for the type of chair you are using.
There are a few types of casters including pneumatic, stem mount, nickel-plated, total locking, and furniture casters. They are attached to the end of legs extending to different directions from the chair base. The number of legs, and thus of casters, may vary from four to eight.
Ottoman Legs
Ottomans are optional parts of swivel chair, especially suitable for recliners. On ottoman legs, the owner can extend and rest his legs. They may be covered with cushions or leather usually matching the material used on the main seat. Ottoman legs may be replaced and attached in such a way that they can be hidden beneath the chair when not in use.
Other Parts
Many swivel chair parts are actually available in plastic. They are also durable but not as expensive as other materials. Plastic parts available include back covers, mechanisms, fittings, hinges, and gas lifts. Bases may also come in plastic or stainless steel. Arm rests are also widely sold online in case you need new ones. There are numerous sellers of swivel chair parts, especially online, that it might require some time and effort to find products exactly as you need them. Be sure to know what you want and need. If you can, consult with an expert or the chair manufacturer and ask for their assistance in finding replacement parts.
