Abstract
A split sleeve bushing for providing a tight fit between a support post and chair base comprises two hemi-cylindrical components which mount about the support post and are received within the support post receptacle of the chair base. The split sleeve bushing includes external stability rings and vertical ribs extending along the external surface thereof. The vertical ribs are tapered to match the draft angle of the support post receptacle of the chair base. The upper end of the split sleeve bushing includes a circumferential flange which is slotted for snap lock engagement with the chair base.
