When should you repair conference chairs versus just replacing them?

Repair makes sense for: replacing a worn gas cylinder (cost: $30–$60 DIY), replacing casters ($10–$30 for a set), or repairing minor upholstery tears if a local upholsterer can match the fabric. Replace when: the base is bent or cracked, the lumbar foam has completely collapsed, the upholstery is extensively worn or permanently stained, or the chair's aesthetic is significantly dated for a client-facing room. A general rule: if repair costs exceed 40% of replacement cost, replace. If the chairs are 10+ years old, replace — internal components are wearing out even on chairs that look okay.
