Title: pedicure seat
Post by: lruthb on April 19, 2012, 01:04:29 pm
This is a repair on the seat. The owner stated that their customers slide down on the seat. I was thinking that maybe tuck and roll might help. I am open to any ideas you might have.

Thanks

Just a thought. I can't tell you how many pedestal type chairs I've done where the seat is attached to the pedestal backward. Leans forward instead of backward.

Only other thing I can think of is build up the padding on the front of the seat.

One other thought. I just repaired a cheep office depot type chair that was leaning forward by adding spacers between the rocker mechanism and the bottom of the chair. I loosened the front two screws and fabricated a piece of 1/2" plywood to fit. I then had to add longer screws to reattach the base to the seat bottom. Worked like a charm.

If the structure is installed correctly, then it's most likely the foam that has become wedge-shaped, tilting toward the front. I'd replace the foam.
