The whole bottom half of a chair, with the lowest load figure here
Topdeep complete base kit with cylinder, plate and casters
A four-part kit — base, gas cylinder, bottom plate and five casters — that publishes a 350 lb capacity and 110 lb per caster: the lowest figures on this shelf, though five casters at 110 lb make 550, not 350.
Topdeep complete base kit with cylinder, plate and casters

This is the most completely specified part in this hub. A 28 in base, a gas cylinder with 5 in of travel giving a 14.5 to 19.5 in range, a seat bottom plate with a 6 by 10.2 in hole pattern, and five 60 mm (2.36 in) casters — with a stated capacity of 350 lb and, separately, 110 lb per caster. Multiply and the two do not agree: five casters at 110 lb make 550 lb, so the 350 lb presumably reflects another part of the kit, which the listing does not say.
That matters because the rest of this shelf does not. Two other 28 in bases here claim 2,500 lb; caster sets claim 650, 700, 1,000 and 2,000 lb. None publishes a method and none breaks the figure down. The one kit that breaks its figure down arrives at a total seven times smaller than its neighbors — and even its two figures disagree, which is the useful thing to know about all of them.
What you get for the price is four parts instead of one: the base, the cylinder, the plate and the wheels, which is everything below the seat except the tilt mechanism sold separately on this shelf. Topdeep publishes its own weight at 22.5 lb, describes a three-step fit, and is candid that the third step needs a rubber hammer. The casters are 2.4 in rather than the 2 in standard everywhere else here, which rolls better over a threshold and raises the seat slightly.

What holds up, and what does not
Best for: A chair where more than one thing has failed, and the seat is the only part worth keeping.
Strengths
A complete kit — base, gas cylinder, bottom plate and five casters — rather than one part
Publishes a load per caster, 110 lb, as well as a total, 350 lb — the lowest figures on this shelf
Publishes the cylinder travel, 5 in, and the resulting seat height range of 14.5 to 19.5 in
Publishes its own weight, 22.5 lb, and the mounting hole pattern, 6 by 10.2 in
Casters are 2.4 in — 60 mm — which is larger than the 2 in casters elsewhere in this hub
A one-year warranty and a three-step fitting sequence described on the page
Compromises
The highest price in this hub, though it is four parts rather than one
A rubber hammer is needed for the third fitting step, per the listing
The 0.1 in steel bracket figure is the same as the tilt mechanism on this shelf, with no separate plate thickness given
No stem size published for the casters, only their diameter
The two load figures do not agree: five casters at 110 lb make 550 lb, not the 350 lb stated for the kit

What buyers ask us first
Why does this kit claim 350 lb when other bases on this shelf claim 2,500?
Nothing on the page explains it, and the kit's own figures do not quite agree: 350 lb for the kit, but 110 lb per caster, which over five casters makes 550 lb. The lower figure is probably the limit of the weakest part, but the listing does not say so. Two 28 in bases alongside it claim 2,500 lb with no per-caster figure and no method — more than seven times as much for the same part at the same diameter. None of the three gives a test.
What exactly is in the box?
Four things, which the listing itemizes: one bottom plate, one gas cylinder, one base and five casters. That covers the base, the height mechanism and the wheels — everything below the seat except the tilt mechanism, which is sold separately on this shelf. The published figures that matter are the 6 by 10.2 in mounting hole pattern for the plate, the 5 in cylinder travel giving 14.5 to 19.5 in of adjustment, and the 60 mm (2.36 in) caster diameter.
