Highest marks ever for assistance on what was needed and how to replace the parts. Chair is 110% like new, should have done this long ago THANK YOU!!!

Works exactly as advertised!
My old cylinder was so worn out I got used to its default height when sitting down, and my desk was adjusted accordingly.
With this new cylinder, I now need to raise my desk 5cm higher, which is a great problem to have!
All in all, I am happy. I don’t have to deal with the chair sinking as the day progresses.

1) Quick delivery!
2) Reasonably priced, price usually equates to quality and I’ve only had it for 2 weeks, however, it looks and feels like it’s built well.
3) Good support: repair instruction videos.

The cylinder worked perfectly in customer’s Leap V2 chair and it was a cost-effective repair for them. We will be ordering more in the future. Thank you!

This one works perfectly. Another gas cylinder replacement for Leap V2 that I bought from another website did not have the correct side activator size. Wish I had bought the first one here and saved the hassle.

Installs in seconds. Works. Revived an otherwise perfect chair from 2012 that I picked up for a steal.
