Hey, I never noticed that before....

Sorry, I should have been specific that I was only talking about chairs on the Bridge. I would fully expect chairs elsewhere on the ship to be relocatable!
I had a similar thought, although under normal circumstances I wouldn't expect the chairs to have been un-maglocked by anyone but the maintenance crew.Maybe they have electo-magnetic bases that "stick" to the floor when activated. In some cases, the bridge user of the chair forgot to activate it, so, it fell over. Usually, chairs in a rec. room are not activated. YMMV.

The famous fight scene from ‘Doomsday Machine’
Notice the seemingly unique colors (doors, floor stripe, overhang) of this corridor…
After the fight, Decker climbs down a ladder to a lower deck…
He then appears to run down the same corridor as the previous fight scene before turning left towards the Shuttlecraft Bay Area.

It's obviously not the same corridor because there's no boot scuffle marks on the carpet from Decker's fight scene. We are seeing a good example of the extreme use of the same design and construction materials in the ship. YMMV

…or the director said, “50 years from now, you’d have to be a complete loser to even notice that it’s the same corridor.”

Every time someone points out something like this with TOS, the coolly rational part of my brain starts to imagine how all the sets might have been arranged one after another on the Desilu sound stage, etc, just as I would with any other show or movie.
And then another part of my brain suddenly says 'no, no, we're not doing that.'
As much as this show gets dragged for its supposed "cheap" (not really, by the standards of the day) production values, I can more readily suspend disbelief watching TOS than I can with almost any other tv/movie. I'm not sure if it's because it got to me when I was young, or there is something inherent about the mode of storytelling that allows this
You make an interesting point about suspension of disbelief when it comes to details like that.
I think you may be partially right about it being related to watching it as a kid, but I think there is another component for why TOS can get away with more things of that nature.
The TOS Enterprise is a more stripped down, basic version of a starship. This is most definitely NOT a dig at her... in fact, it's one of the things I love about her. TNG, DS9, VOY... even ENT had their hero Starfleet ships with very clean looking interiors. No pipes showing, no wires hanging out while a panel is open... all smooth, clean surfaces. It made them more... artificial. Don't get me wrong, I love the interiors of TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT. They just didn't feel as natural as TOS. (I know that sounds like a contradiction, considering I am talking about a starship constructed with metal.) And the TOS interiors were not unclean, either... they were just a different kind of clean.
I guess the way to put it is this... TOS Enterprise was the working class starship. She got the job done and got dirty, but she didn't need a spa day at a fancy resort to feel better. The Enterprise-D WAS the spa day at a fancy resort. She was definitely an upper class starship.
Me personally, I'm going to be more forgiving of the workhorse than the one sitting ON the horse.
No need to imagine. The set plans were originally published in The Making of Star Trek (1968) and are freely available online.
The interior corridor of a modern navy ship has quite a bit of resemblance to the TOS corridors.
If Navy ships have sliding turbo lift doors like this, then I’m enlisting tomorrow.

That is reserved... for the future!

“Obsession”
After Kirk tells Garrovick to ‘circle around to the left’, Garrovick ends up at the same rock formations where the landing party was just standing. I guess he really went full circle. And a green and blue tree instantly bloomed on the left side of the screen cap.

Of course, if normal people are watching Star Trek, and they start studying the papier-mâché rock formations, the show has bigger problems than limited studio space. And "Obsession" did not have that problem, it was damn good.

Well, in addition to the new vegetation on the left, the rock on the right is more squared off compared to the first picture's angled rock. It seems that the rock in the center in the background is the one that looks common so this could be a "twin formation" of rocks
