Questions & Answers
I have no idea. You can inquire about MySit with the seller (search for MySit on Amazon and then select Ask The Seller). China is the most likely candidate. However, a five-year warranty is included.
The only thing I recall about the screws was that they were too short. As a result, I had no choice but to stick with the originals. and they didn't quite fit, but I managed to make it work. To be certain, contact the retailer or manufacturer.
It should fit if your old chair's screw holes are 4 inches apart, and it comes with two sizes of screws. If the 4 inch distance doesn't match your chair, but you're handy with a drill, you can drill a new hole (in the chair, not the armrest) to align the holes properly.

My desk chair armrests began to rot overnight. This set was discovered after measuring the screw distance on them. My previous chair screws were Philip's head screws, and they were fairly easy to remove. I chose to use the new hex-head screws that came with the package. I had a hard time aligning and tightening the screws because the hex tool was too small for me. I eventually switched to my own hex tool, which had a longer handle and worked better. I was very pleased with how they looked and functioned after I had them installed. Everything is as it was before: )br>It comes highly recommended!.
The originals that came with my office chair were perfect replacements for them. br>br>However, it's a little too perfect a replacement. They're stiff, unforgiving, and don't last long enough for my tastes- All of them broke down along the seams around the sides of my chair after a few months, just like the ones that came with it. Oh well, if I can get another 6 months or so out of these before they start to fail, I'll be content for the time being.
These were a replacement for the arms on an OfficeMax/Depot chair that my kids mangled by spinning it into a desk at my parents' house. They weren't the same style as the ones on the chair, but they worked perfectly the first time with the longer set of screws (there are two). I wish they hadn't used allen heads because they're harder to spin in against a fixed pole (arm rests) than standard phillips heads, but they went in, didn't strip, and are holding tight. br>br>We'll see how they hold up for the time being, and we'll report back if the screws come through the pad or strip out with use. So far, everything has gone well.
The supplied Allan Wrench makes it simple to attach to arms. These handles aren't like the soft gel ones that break down over time; they're comfortable and have just the right amount of give when you apply pressure with your arms. It's a lot better than shelling out $100. For a new office chair, you'll need to spend $0. 00. These armrests were perfect for my budget in terms of quality and price, and there's nothing like recycling and being environmentally conscious.
The armrest pad itself is of average quality, and the distance measurements are accurate. However, there were no screws or tools included. Holes do not appear to be properly drilled, at least not for my existing screws. As a result, existing screws didn't fit in three of the four holes, and even if they had, the one that "fit" couldn't be screwed in deep enough to keep the pad stable. Perhaps the screws listed as provided would have worked, but it wasn't worth the trouble of having screws sent that might or might not work, or the time spent re-installing them. I'm the one who's tinkering with the screw threads. Returned.
My dog ate the arm rests off of a $1,200 Sit On It desk chair, and these were a quick fix that serves the same purpose. I was all over these cheapies because the folks at Sit On It were on crack with the price of their replacements, and I couldn't get enough of them! Fit perfectly, and there's a good selection of hardware and wrenches. It is impossible to make a mistake.
Arm pads aren't created equal. These were purchased to replace the pads on a Sum chair made by Allsteel. To my dismay, the Allsteel has a four screw perimeter mounting system, whereas this 'universal' pad has two centered screw holes 4" apart. br>br>However, I was able to mount these by removing much of the Sum's horizontal mobility hardware and drilling two 5/8" holes, which worked just fine. Not for everyone, but better than trying to get OEM rests from Allsteel. Although horizontal movement has been lost, who actually makes use of it?.
These armrests served their purpose admirably. Just make sure the armrest's hole spacing matches the chair's hole spacing. The screw threads are unimportant because new screws and a wrench are included. br>br>I was afraid I'd have to replace the chair because the original arm rests were literally falling apart; I couldn't get replacement arm rests from the chair manufacturer, but these appear to be a close match.
