    Oh my word. I built a new PC a year ago and got myself a new chair to go with it, well, today one of the slots the wheels go into in the base gave out and I was ready to buy a new chair. On a whim I searched to see if you could replace office chair bases and was directed to your video. I never knew this was possible. You sir, saved me the cost of a new chair so thankyou, thankyou a lot.
