Sturdy replacement that raises the seat
This replacement felt like a substantial upgrade — solidly built and stable after installation. It supports the chair without wobble or sinking and raises the seat a bit higher than the original, which was useful for taller users. Installation was simpler than expected and the cylinder fit the base perfectly after I confirmed my measurements.

Perfect fit for a dead piston
My chair’s piston failed and this cylinder dropped right in and performed flawlessly. Fit and operation were spot on and it brought my executive chair back to normal quickly.

Well made but remove old one first
This unit is hefty (about 1318 g) and well finished. Removing the original cylinder took more effort than I thought, but installation was straightforward once the seat was aligned. It feels responsive when you sit and isn’t noisy. The shipped length I measured was about 14.5" including the tip, and the package only contained the cylinder itself.

Saved my chair from the bin
The chair had lost lift and stopped rising. I compared measurements, got the old cylinder off with effort, and pressed the new one in. It now works like new and looks fine. Takes elbow grease to swap, but worth it to keep a functioning chair.
