My Office Chair Starts Randomly Sinking While I'm sitting in it!!! Why is this happening? How to Fix?
I have a really expensive office chair --of course, no longer under warranty-- and now when I sit in it, it starts to randomly sink. I stand up, adjust the height. Sit down. After a few minutes, it starts sinking again.

Solution: Buy a replacement chair. The faulty part is welded in and is not replaceable. This time get a chair with a twistable height adjustment instead. Most secondhand stores have a decent supply of office chairs.
Alternatively, take the chair to a local welder and have them tack-weld the vertical support so it can't move. But the chair will be at that height forever, so make sure it's the right height.
