2nd one ordered with malfunctioning hydraulic
However, the problem wasn't the hydraulic itself. The problem was the handle that should push on the hydraulic was placed so that it missed the hydraulic. The first one I bought almost five years ago was great. The second one bought this fall lasted only a couple of weeks. Couldn't get it apart from the hydraulic to box it up so we took the bottom off the seat and could see that the handle barely reached the hydraulic and with a little wear totally missed it. Bought another to replace it and this last one never worked at all. Checked it and it had the same problem. Unfortunate because this is a very comfortable stool and the first one lasted almost five years with several hours use daily. Gave up and bought clips to put on the hydraulic to keep it raised up.
