Computer Chair Broken Back part?
I have a chair with a broken back, it can be detached from the rest of the chair and has a metal piece that goes into the padded/cloth part of the back. It looks like this chair: http://advice.bizchair.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/adjustablecomputerchair.jpg
So that metal piece has broken off somewhere inside the back, I was wondering if a few metal rods soldered to the metal piece would give it any support or permanently fix the chair?
Chairs can be a bear to fix.
Depending on what piece broke, it usually indicates metal fatigue from low quality steel used at high stress points (an engineering short-sight).
On those kinds of chairs I just take off the broken pieces (arms, if any) and use the bottom as a roll around stool, cause fixing them only redistributes the stress load to another weak spot.
They can be handy in the shop for working on the car (waxing the lower half and polishing the mags, etc.)
