So I recently bought a swivel chair and it’s hard to swivel past 10° or so, though it does go if you really push. It also snaps back into place. The online listing said nothing about the auto return. I need a swivel chair that can swivel and stay facing multiple positions. I can see the spring that’s preventing this in the base. Can I remove it? Or would I need an entirely different base? Or maybe replace the spring to make turning easier?

I’d greatly appreciate any help or advice.

Thanks!
