Folks - does this unit come apart when lifted, or are the pieces attached permanently? Considering using it as a swivel base for chair.

the unit does not come apart when lifted. I don't know if it is heavy duty enough for use as swivel for a chair.

From what I recall, it doesn't come apart when lifted. The bottom piece of sheet metal is curled over the top piece so the ball bearings are captured and it won't come apart. Should work fine for a swivel base.

The pieces are permanently attached. You must place the bearing on the bottom piece(your base of the chair) and mark the screw holes and your access holes. Then drill the access hole and attach bearing to bottom piece making sure the screw holes and your 5/8" access hole all line up. Place the top piece (the seat of the chair) where you want to attach it and use the access holes to mount the screws. You could plug the 5/8" access hole after assembly, but who is going to lie on your floor to look up at your work?

It doesn't swivel, but it is so light weight pushing the whole thing around is easy. My daughter is in a wheelchair and has no problems with it. She puts it to good use as a computer table...desk...eating...she is an artist and it's great for that as well.

If you assemble this unit and it wobbles, take it apart and flip the uprights around you have them inside out, I did the same thing initially. Now it is extremely sturdy. Hope this helps anyone with their flimsy issues. Enjoy and have a great day.

My wife put it together but it looks like it should come apart easily with a 1/4 in. allen wrench. And it has held up very well, our two Siamese try to tear it apart everyday.

Yes, it does come apart. The head rest and the shelf do not have to be attached. They come with the table, but you don't have to use them.

It is all attached. There are no pieces that detach from the unit. Very durable.

Michael - I just looked a technical specs from another site and the base does not swivel. I had the same question. Swivel bases are ideal!

hum, Well its been awhile so I don't entirely recall, but I believe it came in two major pieces and you only have to attach the top to the bottom and sit on it. The arm rests may have also come detached, but really should be no issue to assemble beyond that. Hope this helps. GREAT SEAT!!!!!

The chair comes already assembled....don't think the back comes off. This chair is like a chair and a half....it's really big. Only needs to be about 3 to 4 inches from the wall. I originally bought it for my husband but he doesn't use it and it's being used for two kids to sit in and watch TV....but chair seems that its slowly breaking down....not as durable as I thought.

I had the same issue. Eventually the assembly fell apart and I ended up returning it. Sorry couldn't say anything positive here!

The Pure Fun unit is very difficult to take apart. The legs are held into place by friction with the outer ring. I leave mine up all the time.

It comes fully assembled. I think you could separate the sections by removing or tinkering with the hinges. As a four piece unit, it is very solid and stable, with little risk of tipping over. I think it might still be if you divide it, but that would be my concern.

The base does not swivel. Yes, it will detach to mount on to a different base. I hope this helps.

Not in my opinion. It has been up since we assembled it. I suppose you could take it apart, but it is not "collapsible".

Yes it does come apart very easily. There is a push-in release pin on each side of the front bar. Push those in and the front bar slides out and all pieces can be easily stored. I love mine. It is exactly what I was looking for and is very good quality.

It is put together as one piece. I do not believe its designed to be taken apart. May I suggest you choose another size if this one is too large.
