it's a proper office chair on wheels with good back support, pump up pressure to alter the height, 10 years old and well used.
It needs a new seat to give it life for another 10 years. Right, plenty of ideas on YouTube. But 2 hitches. Finding a new seat - they seem to cost as much as the chair did new or nearly as much as a new chair. And secondly having the tools/skills to do the job.
Herein lies the hitches for modern DIY - parts. tools, skill of hand. But mostly parts. Oh and design. You are no longer meant to repair. Buy new is the cry.
You can buy foam bits, and recovering can be done with any hard wearing fabric. I haven't done that, but did make covers for our 1970s suite to prolong the life of the cushions. Careful measurements and even hand stitching will do the job, not to professional standards, but it can be done.
Unfortunately it needs the seat attaching to the frame for it to be safe and usable. This seat is on wheels so a cushion that's loose would be a safety hazard.
