4. Assembly Instructions
Assembly is straightforward and typically takes about 20 minutes. An Allen wrench is included for convenience.
- Attach the Mechanism Plate to the Seat Cushion: Align the mechanism plate with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the seat cushion. Ensure the front of the mechanism (usually indicated by an arrow or the lever) faces the front of the seat. Secure with screws and washers provided.
- Attach Armrests to the Seat Cushion: Identify the left (L) and right (R) armrests. Attach each armrest to the sides of the seat cushion using the provided screws. Do not fully tighten yet.
- Attach the Backrest to the Armrests: Align the backrest with the armrests. Secure the backrest to the armrests using the remaining screws. Once all screws are in place for the armrests and backrest, tighten all screws firmly.
- Insert the Gas Lift Cylinder into the Base: Place the five-star base on a flat surface. Insert the larger end of the gas lift cylinder into the center hole of the base.
- Attach the Assembled Seat to the Gas Lift Cylinder: Carefully place the assembled seat (with mechanism, armrests, and backrest) onto the smaller end of the gas lift cylinder. Press down firmly to ensure a secure connection.

5. Operating Instructions
Your executive chair offers several adjustments for personalized comfort:
- Seat Height Adjustment: Locate the lever on the right side, beneath the seat. To raise the seat, lift the lever while taking your weight off the chair. To lower the seat, lift the lever while remaining seated. Release the lever at the desired height.
- Tilt Function: The chair features a tilt mechanism allowing the backrest and seat to recline together. To enable tilting, pull the same lever (used for height adjustment) outwards. To lock the chair in an upright position, push the lever inwards.
- Tilt Tension Control: A round knob located under the front of the seat controls the resistance of the tilt mechanism. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).
- 360-Degree Swivel: The chair is designed to swivel freely 360 degrees for ease of movement and access to your workspace.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: For bonded leather upholstery, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material. For best results, use a leather conditioner periodically to maintain the material's integrity and prevent drying or cracking.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Casters: Clean casters regularly to remove dust, hair, and debris that can impede smooth rolling.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair wobbles or feels unstable | Loose assembly screws; seat not fully engaged with gas lift. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the seat is fully pressed onto the gas lift cylinder. |
| Chair does not adjust height | Gas lift cylinder malfunction; lever not engaged correctly. | Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged. If the issue persists, the gas lift cylinder may need replacement. |
| Chair squeaks during use | Loose connections; friction between parts. | Tighten all screws. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts or contact points if necessary. |
| Casters do not roll smoothly | Debris caught in casters. | Remove any hair, dust, or debris from the caster wheels. |
| Bonded leather peeling or cracking | Wear and tear; lack of conditioning. | Regularly clean and condition the bonded leather. While wear is normal over time, proper care can extend its lifespan. |
