How do I keep my desk chair from squeaking when rocking? I got a really nice leather office chair for my house, but within a few weeks, it started squeaking when rocking. This has happened to me with all my other desk chairs with the rocking function. The squeak seems to be coming from the spring that allows the chair to rock (the one you tighten or loosen, depending on how you like it), but the spring is entirely covered by the plastic knob used to tighten it. Since it's covered, I can't really get to it with WD40, even when using that straw thing it comes with. I'm not overloading the chair, since I only weigh 170 lbs, so I'm not quite sure what to do about the squeak. Any suggestions?
How do I get rid of all the static electricity in my desk chair? The chair at my computer desk holds a lot of static electricity. Every time I sit down, the hair on my arms is attracted to the armrests. When I stand up, my pants are stuck to my legs, and when I touch the top of the chair, I get shocked. I use a thick plastic chair mat, on carpet. Any ideas?
Nylon or leather desk chair, What is the better value? I have been shopping around for a durable easy to clean desk chair. I ran across two good ones, same price, one is a 5 star techniflex apolstery nylon the other a leather..Why are these the same price. I was raised with the notion the leather was the better thing, I am missing something here. Should I invest in this techniflex 5 star nylon for its durability or whatever makes it cost the same as the leather chair.
Where can I find a cheap durable desk chair? Over the last year I have gone through 4 desk chairs and this one is on the verge of breaking to. I'm sick of buying chairs that keep breaking, Ive got them from all sorts of different places and either the welds break or the bolts bend and break. I'm not exactly a large person either Its just because I spend around 15 hours a day in the chair. All I want is something that will last more than 6 months and don't cost £200+ Please help
Desk chair with height adjustment keeps sinking. How do I correct this problem? I have an office desk chair. I release the lever on the right of the chair and it comes to full height. As time passes and it is occupied--the chair sinks (maybe an hour or so). Is there some seals that should be replaced or is there some liquid that should be replenished. There is no liquid leaking out of it nor is there any signs of liquid on the outside of the chair.
How can I clean my stained desk chair? There are several stains on the chair and I usually sit on it with a towel but it is the chair that was in the room when I moved in, what can I use and how can I clean this chair without a steam cleaner?
Where can I find a desk chair with long armrests? ? I want to be able to lean back in my desk chair and use my mouse on the armrest. When leaning back, the length from the back of the chair to the end of the armrest, should be about two feet. I've checked many websites for desk chairs and they all have short armrests.
How can I make my desk chair recline more easily (be less stiff when reclining)? Ok, so every computer chair that reclines has a knob underneath it that adjusts the "reclining tension". However, when my knob is turned to its loosest setting, the chair is still relatively stiff when I go to recline. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could make my chair recline easier? If it would help, just take a quick glance at yours and see if you could think of anything to make it recline easier. Many thanks!
How do I fix a noisy desk chair? It makes this grinding/crunching sound when you sit down or move. I have tried WD40 and lubricating grease, but it still does it. It's really annoying and loud. The chair is only 2 months old and has done this since I bought it! Help! It is not a "butt" problem either. My kids sit on it and it does the same.
How do you get the plastic putrid smell out of a new desk chair? It is so bad it gives me headaches and makes me feel ill. I bought the chair from Office Depot and have had it for a month. It is made from leather and vinyl. It is disgusting...I thought a few weeks would get the smell out, but it has not. It gets me worried because I am pregnant also and I wonder what it is doing to my baby.

WHAT SHOULD I USE???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Use my bed as a desk chair? Do you think it would be okay to put my bed and desk next to each other and use the side of my bed as a seat for the desk? It's the right height and everything, and my room's not very big, so I want your opinion on whether I should employ my bed as a desk seat and add a reading corner, or should I just use my regular desk chair and have to position my bedroom furniture so there's no place for a comfy reading corner?

Where to find a pretty desk chair? I am looking for a non-too-pricey desk chair. Preferably an adjustable swivel chair as i am not very tall!

It seems that I'm going to have to get a boring officey one though. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Ikea, Marks and Spencer etc don't seem to have anything. Thanks.
Where abouts should a study desk and chair be placed? Im grade 11 and I was wondering where is the best position to move my study desk and chair in my room. Right now I have placed to the wall.

What is the correct way to sit in a desk or chair? I heard that sitting incorrectly could possibly damage your back. Explain in the greatest detail you can. And no, I don't have a bad back. I would just like to sit in a way that would cause future harm to my back.
