Operating Instructions
Your Soohow Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair offers several adjustment features to customize your seating experience for optimal comfort and support.
1. Seat Height Adjustment
To adjust the seat height, locate the lever on the right side under the seat. While seated, pull the lever up to lower the seat. To raise the seat, stand up and pull the lever up. Release the lever at the desired height to lock it in place.
