Possible to fix this, or Beyond repair?

[Jet-Fighter7700]

So this executive office chair by me is Fsked up, one too many Rugby Dudes sat in it and destroyed it,

can it be repaired? asked around and they mention back shell replacement for R1900
seems excessive, but thought Id at least ask here, maybe somebody else has ideas?

genuine leather the upholstery and base seems good still. still tilts and adjusts properly.
gas lift seems to work. just unless you lean it against a wall you can still use it, although make sure you don't move forward otherwise the backrest is destroyed.

I fixed mine like this
I drilled a hole into each armrest
Put in those eyebolt thingies
Then used my ratchet strap
Perfect
I can lean back as hard as I want and it is super strong
I also used a spare foam for more back support
12 years old and good for another 12 yrs

I dont know if that will work for me to be honest @Pineapple Smurf
armrests are a lot shorter, and dont have the space for that eyelet to thread through.

think what is best is taking off the base and using that maybe at home as a spare.
dont think its possible to fix it.

but at least I got a spare gaslift and a set of decent Wheels, so there is that I guess.

Looking at your photo again I can see it will work, easy
Company is gonna throw the chair away
By law it cannot stay like that in a workplace
Health & Safety
I do my course annually
Just tell them you will take it home for spares

what parts should I get? what sort of eyelet and ratchet strap to go and try find? don't know hardware that well.
will give it a go, as this is a very expensive executive chair that is destroyed.

and I'm all for recycling if it becomes functional afterwards.

this executive office chair

Judging from the pics, you can advertise it as a complete, customised Dentist Chair for sale.

Hy het sy sekretaresse se sitvlak probeer inbreek, maar toe breek hy net haar kantoorstoel.

Loose translation: He tried to push in her stool, but instead, he crushed her chair.

obviously will need to drill something into the armrests, what do you recommend there?

Ah yes I just used my cordless drill with a 13mm wood bit to drill the hole.
I had to wiggle it a little bit coz I think the hole size needed to be 14mm which I didnt own

/ping @WAslayer @SauRoNZA
What size drill bit for an M8 eyebolt?
