Hello
It works great until the wheels start unwinding and then as you roll around the wheel falls off!
Biker-Style Pneumatic Roller Seat


After the 1st wheel fell off, I noticed one other was about to go and 2 others were loose! LOL

If they included just 5 C type lock washers, it would not happen! I had to add my own!

Loctite is just as easy.
 
The guy in the factory who puts the washers (or Loctite) on was out that day.

They just wanted to give you something to do. Or look at before ya bought it.
 
Somewhere in China, an assembler went home smiling the day he built your chair, thinking of the American that was going to fall on his face six months later.
 
I threw out all my chairs and bought a lift. Best money I ever spent.

Can't tell you how many times, I tried to scoot across a floor on a roller chair and ate it because of a bolt or washer on the floor.
