Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Zuo Criss Cross Office Chair.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Zuo Criss Cross Office Chair, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

• Chair does not adjust height:
  Ensure the gas lift lever is fully engaged. If the issue persists, the gas lift cylinder may need replacement. Contact customer support for assistance.
• Chair wobbles or feels unstable:
  Check all assembly screws to ensure they are securely tightened. Verify that the gas lift is properly seated in the base and seat mechanism. Ensure the chair is on a flat, even surface.
• Casters do not roll smoothly:
  Inspect casters for any accumulated debris such as hair or lint. Clean the casters thoroughly. If a caster is damaged, it may need replacement. Note that replacement casters may require specific dimensions.
• Lattice pieces on backrest appear detached:
  While the webbed backrest is designed for durability, individual leatherette straps may shift. Gently reposition them if possible. If structural damage is evident, contact customer support.
