Repairing an office chair?

I have a large office chair that's oversized and comfortable. Probably very expensive to replace outright. It's of the type that uses a gas cylinder/shock absorber design. That's failed, and I'm wondering if it can be replaced economically. If so, would it be a do-it-yourself project?. Thanks.

Hi, okorder /... You can also find them on Amazon. Good luck with it.
Try a FULL service mom pop office supply place. Staples and the chain stores ar idiots. If this chair is one of the top of the line, then the maker will have replacement parts for it because they know that using the same parts on multiple units makes good sense. You will need to inspect the chair very thoroughly, get any numbers models, names, take a couple of measurements,....and be prepared to ta ke a couple of pics of the chair to show the staff at the office supply. There is a FANTASTIC place in Corpus Christi called AW; these guys are top shelf all the way. They will even ship your parts to you. thats why you can buy some Chevrolet parts and put them on a GMC truck and spend an average of 17% less money)
They don't usually make repair parts for those because it's so rare that anybody wants to repair one. You would have to buy a new chair to get the base, but if you do that you might as well just use the new chair.
