The seat in my chair dropped. What would cause this and how can I fix it.

    I think you're going to need to be a little more specific.

    The chair is an office chair that has a hydraulic system in it

    How old is the chair?
    It's possible the hydraulic piston/seal is wearing out. Even more likely if it's some mass produced piece of crap chair.
    As to fixing it, do a Google search for the chair and see if you can order a replacement piston.

    I work in office furniture. It could be a small retaining pin on the gas cylinder that fell off. Check around the floor and see if you see it. Looks a little like a grenade pin. Could also be the gasket on the cylinder blew. If so, not really way of fixing it without getting a new cylinder.
