So want a new desk chair, but the thing is I was thinking making one. My idea is to buy desk chair parts and put them together.
Anyone has done it? Was it successful? Any tips?

Not exactly but sort of. What I have done is buy a moderately priced desk chair and then upgrade the cylinder and the wheels to much nicer ones. Makes a world of different.
I can’t recommend upgrading the wheels enough! The default wheels on Office chairs are garbage. I upgraded to the roller blade style wheels and now I get to complain that my chair is TOO easy to roll!
It’s because the default wheels are made for rolling on office carpet. The super tight weave with zero pad underneath (usually using carpet tiles that can be easily replaced in the event of stains), which is the go-to for corporate settings. It sucks to roll on anything besides that, because the wheels aren’t designed for it.
Interesting, I see. I want to pick all the parts and combine them. Cylinder you mean the one thats stands up in the middle right?
Yes they come in different lengths (and strengths) and I wanted a taller one because I’m tall.
