It took me just 20 minutes to replace the defective one. Fitting the unit is not cumbersome if you are a DIY person and have access to a basic hammer. I was on the verge of considering checking offline options for a replacement and was pleasantly surprised to find one on Amazon.Ī quick dispatch of the replacement by the Seller was encouraging. Even if raised back to the highest position, it went back to the lowest position in a short period. My 'Glen' swivel chair is serving me well for almost five years, but the gas lift system failed some time back and the seat kept getting pushed to the lowest position it could offer. I think i roughly got the age of 1.5 year. Update-(th) i changed the cylinder again 2/3 months back. Till then you can depend on this review to buy this product and again, you will not regret it. But I will update the review if there is an issue. I am writing this review as soon I assembled it because my main issue is solved which is sinking chair issue. Anyways, once everything is removed, placing the new cylinder just took me 60 seconds. Better check youtube videos before buying this product, so that you can prepare yourself to DIY this process. You need to remove the cylinder entirely which means that you need to repeat the process for the bottom most part of the cylinder. I took 5-10 mins of time hitting with the hammer. If you hit harder then you may deform the holder itself and then you may never be able to fit any hydraulic cylinder unless the dent is removed. But do not, I repeat do not hit harder at the joinings. Finally, I just inverted the chair and my dad held up the chair for me and I slowly started hitting with the hammer as shown in the images. I tried in various techniques as shown in the images of the product, but I was not sure of the technique itself. I didn't have any tools other than a hammer. You can search in youtube for videos (search for "sinking chair issue" or "chair cylinder change" etc) and follow them. I mean to fit any of the new hydraulic cylinders is always hassle if you don't have the right tools. This is main reason I bought this product and I don't regret it. The best part is that though there are many out there this was around 500 rupees and it had 6 reviews (too much for such niche products) and all the reviews rated this product good. Anyways the images and the dimensions shown in the images by the seller are genuine. I couldn't post images as I already have fit the cylinder by the time I thought to write this review. The cylinder and hydraulic pressure everything works perfectly. First of all, the quality of the product is damn good. Guys this is totally mind-blowing stuff I ever did.
