Bolt on my $380 office chair broke. Need suggestions.
It popped and almost thew me back-wards! This was the second time this has happened to an office chairs of ours...and that's why we paid so much for this new one 4 or 5 years ago, thinking that a more expensive chair would last longer.
Any idea about repairing it? The bolt broke off in interior mechanism of the back of the chair. I'm afraid to even attempt drilling the remainder of it out but I don't know whom I could possibly take it to to get the thing fixed.
The chair is otherwise in great shape and is the only one I found that doesn't hurt my back.

1. Why are you afraid to drill out the remainder?
Is you did drill it out, would you be able to find a bolt to replace it?
The first thing that I would do is contact the manufacturer. You say it was supposedly a good quality chair and was expensive, so even if they wouldn't do anything for you after this amount of time, it couldn't hurt to try. They at least should know that this is a problem, because maybe they are one of the few companies that would care. You at least may be able to find out if a replacement bolt is available.
I am not all that handy myself, so I can't help further.
All three of them need to take selfies wearing yarmulkes and text them to nadin, swearing allegiance to Israel and begging for her return.Now that right there is funny. Started off my day with a laugh. H5

Are there more obese primitives than primitives with mental problems?

I wonder if the DUmmies recognize how embarrassingly unproductive the DUmp is without nadin.
In a week's time, the community they claim to consist of thousands of far left radical fringe democrats will produce less than a half-dozen Grade A and Grade B lunatic threads.
Every single week for years, nutcase nadin by herself has delivered at least a half-dozen solid Grade A threads, most of them deteriorating into hilarious, vicious free-for-alls.
Yes.Kind of like the old adage: "How an I be broke? I still have checks!"
The sole purpose of the OP:
"I can afford to pay $380 for a chair, and you can't."
Or, more likely, "My credit card was $380 below my max credit limit, and yours isn't."

Don`t forget the possibility of a workers comp and ultimately permanent disability claim.
Probably the DUmmy intentionally damaged the chair.
