Can anyone tell me if the Height Adapters are supposed to fit flush on to the feet of Gaiam chair? Should I hammer them down to fit flush?

Mine were a little hard to snap in also. I had to really put a lot of pressure to fit in. I used a mallot (hope I spelled correctly). Rubber hammer. :)

I just put the adapters in so they would not fall out then flipped the chair over and pushed down they went in flush.

You shouldn't have to hammer anything. It's kind of like a Lego. They just fit in the casing.

Mine were difficult to get in, too. I had to gently tap them with a hammer. Worked great!

I have never had a problem with seat. We must have adjusted it to my comfort level - I have not had to redo it. Unfortunately I can not remember what we did to change the height. I would have remembered if it was a problem. Don't hesitate to call Amazon - they will guide you through talking with the Store that sold it. Hope this helped.

You CAN adjust the height on these. The toggle isn't fake ... if you lift it up while sitting on the chair it will lower it.

I have a C stand that is outdoors. I had to do some modifications to the chair in order to get the height I needed. The modifications were minor. I ended up buying some chain, eye hooks and a swivel hook. That did the trick on giving me the height I needed. When done it was like when you would change the height of a swing at the play ground. Hope this helps.

The height adjustment works via a screw jack. It is inside a tubular housing that bolts through the bottom left and right support plates and the top left and right support arms. What looks like a pull cord in the illustration is actually the crank handle that operates the screw jack hanging from the hook at the bottom of the screw jack. The handle has a eyelet in the top to engage the screw jack hook when adjusting the height and is removed after the adjustment is made.

i'm not sure I follow the question... I have the chair and the adapters connect to the base just as they were the top of the wheels(they have the same shape as the top of the wheel connections) and you then insert the wheels into the adapters.

I don't have the chair in front of me right now but, i believe the threads on the feet are 1/4''-16. you can at least throw a bolt in there for now until you can find a set of feet with the proper thread pattern.

I would contact the nearest authorized service dealer. The height adjustment is one of the few things that didn't break on my two mowers.

I had no problems. You just push the legs and arms into the slots and there is a series of holes to make it taller or shorter. The leg and arm pieces have a button that snaps into the holes. She might need assistance to be sure that she uses the same position on each leg for stability? Also, I have found the chair to be very stable with this type of connector. Good luck

Don't put them on Gaiam chair. It will break your chair. The gaiam chair can't handle the pressure.

Most office chairs that have a lift mechanism use a standard socket for the base, and fit the socket under the seat where the adjusting lever does its job. Here's the thing -- if you order it from Amazon and it turns out not to fit, you can return it pretty easily for a credit. I've used these on "place" chairs, and manager's chairs. When it is time to remove the failed lift cylinder I recommend getting some BIG channel-lock pliers to twist the old one out of upper and lower sockets. Lay the chair on its side, grab the cylinder and turn both the cylinder and the leg-wheel base in opposite directions, then twist it out of the bottom of the seat. The new one just pops in-- no sweat. Most office chairs that have a lift mechanism use a standard socket for the base, and fit the socket under the seat where the adjusting lever does its job.

Hi Philip - I believe the feet have short extenders, but we never used them. I'll check tonight.

I believe they are screwed to the bottom, if so home depot,wall mart Lowe's has them or something similar, make sure you bring a good wheel with you so you get the same height.

Ok, this foot is for a low shank machine and you will need adapter if you do not have one like this http://www.gonesewing.com/servlet/Detail?no=2373 because this foot screws on instead of snaps on. It is good to have one depending on what feet you need that is low shank which is very popular. Hope this helped you.

You also must make holes for them before attempting to nail them in to the feet of your chair. Mine bent and broke off on about 1/3 of them. I know you asked for specs, but the previous answer included that. I just wanted you to be aware of the problem I had with them.

Casters are quite standardized. The casters on my chair have a threaded shank with a hexagonal head to accommodate a wrench. They screw into the chair leg, & mine are only finger tight. I suggest you unscrew the offending caster & take it to your local hardware, or a big box store Like Home Depot or Lowes. You should be able to find one of the same diameter & mounting system, though it may not be identical to the broken one, or your local contact should be able to tell you where you can get one.

My husband and I find it to be a convenient height. Maybe slightly lower than a normal straight back chair. The one we have now is our second Century 6210. They work great. No odor if used as directed and easy to clean.
