4. Assembly Instructions
Assembly typically requires one person and takes approximately 20-30 minutes. An Allen wrench is included in the hardware kit. It is recommended to assemble the chair on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratching components.
- Attach Casters to Base: Insert each of the five casters into the holes at the end of each leg of the chair base. Push firmly until they click into place.
- Insert Gas Lift: Place the gas lift cylinder into the center hole of the chair base.
- Attach Mechanism Plate to Seat: Align the mechanism plate with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the seat cushion. Ensure the front of the mechanism plate faces the front of the seat. Secure with screws using the provided Allen wrench.
- Attach Armrests to Seat: Attach the armrests to the sides of the seat cushion using the designated screws. Do not fully tighten yet.
- Attach Backrest to Seat and Armrests: Align the backrest with the seat and the armrests. Secure the backrest to the seat and armrests using the remaining screws. Once all screws are in place, fully tighten all screws on the armrests and backrest.
- Connect Seat Assembly to Gas Lift: Carefully place the assembled seat onto the gas lift cylinder, ensuring the tapered end of the gas lift fits securely into the mechanism plate.
Tip: Some users find it easier to attach the backrest to the seat and armrests by laying the seat on its side or back. Ensure all screws are tightened securely, as some reviews mention cables on the bottom coming loose if not properly secured.

- Casters: Keep the casters free of hair, dust, and debris to ensure smooth rolling. Clean them regularly.
