The gaming chair has died? what have you replaced it with?

The original "chassis" it was on died. 

The central stem was tacked onto the round base and had started to tear the metal (quite badly).

I was going to buy a new donor and repair it, but it seems the norm is now NOT to weld the central stem and just have it located in the base - makes sense - less space in the box and perfectly fine but a bit shaky for such a tall and heavy chair.

Samantha also moaned about the weight (it was heavy) and with the new floor installed I didn't want to have it dragged around.  Jensen also took a shine to the old one and I frequently found him trying to scale the side of it (it wasn't really stable enough for that).

So, in short, it's been replaced with a lighter, shiny chrome bar-stool (that fits in with the new flooring and decor much better)  :tongue:
