Height extension kits can really make a difference

If you don’t want to play around, go with a height extension kit.

Height extension kits are the whole shebang, providing you with the means to make your chair taller or shorter with the simple adjustment of a lever.

Most height extension kits even come with a steel foot ring, so you’ve got an extra place to put your feet, and height extension kits can raise your chair height 5 -6 inches or more in some cases.

While this is the most expensive option on the list, height extension kits are actually quite inexpensive.

So, if you don’t want to fool around with just adding small additions to your chair until you get it right, then consider a height extension kit and get it done NOW.

New Casters are quick, easy, and efficient

‘Casters’ sound fancy but when you hear that term, you’re just talking about the wheels on your chair.

Replacing them is quick and easy to do, usually taking somewhere around 2 -3 minutes, and not only can they extend the height of your chair, but you’ll probably roll around faster and much more smoothly.

You can get replacement casters at just about any hardware store or office supply or simply pop online and get them that way.
