May 6, 2008 SubscribeEdit ArticleHow to Fix a Squeaky Desk Chair Two Methods:Oiling Metal PartsFixing Wooden ChairsCommunity Q&A Have you ever been annoyed by the squeak of a chair? Squeaky chairs can be a nuisance to both the person sitting and others in the room. Fortunately, those annoying noises do not mean it is time for a new chair.
When a squeaky chair is properly diagnosed, it can be quite simple to fix the problem. Check the nuts, bolts, and screws.Apply a lubricating oil on all of the nuts, screws and bolts to help loosen the joints. Simply spray oil directly on the the chair mechanisms, and pat them dry. You can also spray oil on a soft cotton cloth, and rub the oil onto your problem areas to have more control over where the oil goes. Moisture in the air and air conditioners cause rust. Regularly applying oil prevents rust from occurring and building up. Remove the bolts and screws completely before adding any lubricant. Have a friend sit in the chair as you apply oil. Fix the springs in the back of the chair. A chair may only squeak when you lean back, which is usually caused by too much tension where the spring's ends rub on the housing ends. To fix this, apply oil to the seat tension spring located inside the turn-knob housing. Simply loosen the seat tension turn-knob and remove the turn-knob to spray oil inside the housing.
Roll the chair back and forth to check out the wheels. Inspect the wooden chair for loose legs, screw, or nails. Check how loose the chair legs are, as well as the back of the chair, by pushing and pulling them back and forth to see how much movement they have. There should be virtually no movement. Position the chair you are working on upside down. You can either flip the chair upside down on a table or on another chair so that you can more easily access the problem area. This will also prevent any unwanted pressure on the legs or back of the chair when you are working. Apply glue to loose joints. There are many types of strong wood glue products you can purchase to stabilize loose leg joints. When you locate a loose joint, push wood glue into the joint and let it dry completely before flipping the chair back over. Wipe away any access glue that comes out of the joint with a wet rag. To create a thicker wood glue consistency, try adding wood filler to the glue. A thicker mixture can better help stabilize wobbly chair legs.
Expand the dowels with wood-swelling liquids. For very loose legs that seem to need more than glue, remove the chair leg completely, and use a wood-swelling liquid. Sometimes, dowels can shrink, causing chair parts to become loose. When you apply a wood-swelling liquid to the dowel, it will allow the dowel to once again become secure in the chair. Replace the nails or wooden joint plugs. If the hardware in the chair seem to be loose or no good anymore, you can replace them with new ones. Even if you don't want to remove the existing hardware, you can add reinforcement with more nails or bracket hinges to make the chair sturdy. When putting in more screws, make sure they are long enough to secure the wood, but not long enough to come through the other side of the wood. You can purchase wood glue, spray lubricant, and silicone spray at most home good and hardware stores. Oiling the chair excessively may be detrimental to its mechanism. It may cause the chair to roll too easily or make the chair unable to retain height adjustments.
Be sure to pat dry the areas you apply oil to.In a win for consumers nationwide and our Mind the Store campaign, Ashley Furniture has announced a timeframe for banning toxic flame retardant chemicals in all of their furniture!This is a big victory as Ashley is the largest manufacturer and retailer of furniture in the country. This will have a huge impact in driving the furniture sector away from these harmful chemicals.The story broke in a terrific Chicago Tribune last Friday, after Ashley sent us this updated statement last week:“Ashley’s upholstered furniture is designed and labeled to comply with California’s TB 117-2013, and we are committed to designing our upholstered furniture with the goal of meeting the requirements of TB-117-2013 without the use of flame retardant chemicals. To that end, Ashley is pleased to announce that after working closely with our supply chain, upholstered furniture manufactured by or for us as of January 1, 2015, does not use flame retardant chemicals.
In addition, all our upholstered furniture, no matter where it is shipped in the US, includes a label that complies with the requirements of California’s SB-1019.” The company has told us this policy applies to all of their furniture, where flame retardants are also sometimes lurking.We first wrote to Ashley back in November. In January the Chicago Tribune revealed that Ashley was taking action on flame retardants, but wouldn’t say by when. So our coalition generated thousands of e-mails from concerned families coast to coast urging them to adopt a public timeframe for eliminating these unnecessary harmful chemicals. We applaud Ashley for doing what’s right for the health of our families and homes.Ashley Furniture is not only the largest manufacturer and retailer of furniture here in the US, but one of the biggest globally as well.They are a top-selling furniture store brand to retail partners in over 120 countries worldwide, and licenses its name to some 500 Ashley Furniture HomeStores.
In 2013, the company reported a whopping $3.85 billion in sales (!).See what this expert had to recently say about the impact their actions will have:“Bob Luedeka, executive director of the Polyurethane Foam Association, said that if industry leader Ashley follows other companies and stops using flame retardants, the chemicals ‘could be a thing of the past in residential furniture.’”What’s perhaps even more exciting is that Ashley is not alone. This is a growing trend among the furniture retail sector as many other furniture retailers are also taking action on toxic flame retardants, which I’ve blogged about before.In January the Chicago Tribune reported that:“Crate and Barrel, Room & Board, and Williams-Sonoma (Pottery Barn, West Elm) all say they have mostly eliminated the chemicals from their products. IKEA, La-Z-Boy, The Futon Shop, Scandinavian Designs and Wal-Mart also said they have told vendors to stop adding flame retardants to furniture.”Since the January Tribune story, Ethan Allen, Restoration Hardware, and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams have all said their furniture is also now free of toxic flame retardant chemicals.
They are also big market players. Restoration Hardware is the #13 largest furniture store in the US, with furniture sales of $890 million in 2012. And they are growing – their sales grew by 29% between 2011 and 2012. Ethan Allen is the #15 largest furniture store in the US, with furniture sales of $703.9 million in 2012. Those two retailers alone have combined furniture sales of over $1.5 billion.Big office furniture purchasers, like Facebook, Kaiser Permanente, Dignity Health, and Staples, have also signed a pledge to buy office furniture without toxic flame retardants.This comes at a time when states are taking action on these same chemicals, in the absence of real federal chemical reform. Just last week legislation to restrict toxic flame retardants and get us off the toxic treadmill passed the Washington State House.So far, three big retailers have been surprisingly silent about their policies related to flame retardant chemicals: Target, Costco and Macy’s. They are also major retailers of furniture, the fifth, sixth and eighth largest nationwide respectively.
