What happened here and why is the gas cylinder stuck. Shit is a wobbly mess, anything I can do? Ignore the bits of string I stuck in there, I was trying something.

Hard to tell exactly what i'm looking at here, but is the cylinder threaded into that bung, and the bung broke loose from the seat frame?

Looks like the weld holding the seat to the cylinder failed. Cheap shit chair. Don't get something made of mild steel put together in China. If it is something you use a lot, well, spend your money where you spend you time. Get a real office chair. Something like a Steelcase Series 1 would be the bare minimum for an office type chair. We're talking 2-4 hours a day of use. If you are spending more time than that in it then you need to start looking for chairs in the $800+ range.Ignore 'gaming' chairs. They are overpriced trash. I fell for the meme and got a Secret Labs Titan. The chair started falling apart right after the warranty expired. The arms literally fell off from failed welds. 3 years is shit for a chair. My previous chair lasted close to 15. Sadly, the company that made it closed their US factory and moved everything overseas. The quality went with it so I can't recommend them now.

Tried something but I feel like I might still need to find a welder.

If you know anyone who works in an office, get them to snag you a chair. We always had chairs to give away

Chairs aren't real.

had that happen to my old chair, took the mechanism and cylinder to work, used a grinder to remove paint, cut some 7 gauge steel triangles, welded 6 or 7 or them around the ring. never had another problem with the chair until the cushion was so far gone that i threw it away

But the more important question is: what is your new diet plan now as a preventive measure?
