Eames Aluminum Group Lounge Chair fix?

Hmmm… Just called a product specialist at HM. They said if there is wiggle, it is a cracked press fit inside the base and the only way to fix is replace the entire base (cast aluminum and all). Dunno how much that is, but can’t be cheap. Now I’m thinking I might have to live with it. No sense calling out a service rep if they will just look at it and tell me the same thing for $100 a call.
