My office chair died. The back's hinges snapped and now I'm left with a stool and a back.
Finding replacement hinges would be pretty hard because there's no branding on the chair so I don't know what model it might be
I'm left with a stool and a backrest.
Any ideas on how I might repurpose the back?
Or, also, how I might add a back to my stool.

Artsy office chairs tend to be weak, you might be able to weld that back in place, although cheap office chairs seem to be made out of shitty pot metal.

When the plastic armrest of my chair snapped I fixed it with aluminum plates and screws, but I don't think it's applicable to this situation.

Don't really have access to a welder or any other heavy duty equipment.
I think I'll just keep the seat to use when I'm playing guitar.
Probably gonna throw the back out.
