Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble your office chair. It is recommended to assemble the chair on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Attach Casters to Base: Insert the 5 casters into the holes at the end of each leg of the star base. Push firmly until they click securely into place.
- Install Gas Lift: Place the gas lift cylinder into the central hole of the star base. Ensure it is seated properly.
- Attach Mechanism Plate to Seat: Align the mechanism plate with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the seat cushion. Secure it with the provided screws using the hex key. Ensure the front of the mechanism plate (usually indicated by an arrow or 'FRONT' label) faces the front of the seat.
- Attach Armrests to Seat: Secure the armrests to the sides of the seat cushion using the provided screws. Ensure they are oriented correctly (left and right armrests are often distinct).
- Attach Backrest to Seat/Mechanism: Align the backrest with the mounting points on the seat or mechanism plate. Secure with screws.
- Connect Seat Assembly to Gas Lift: Carefully place the assembled seat and backrest onto the gas lift cylinder, ensuring it is centered and stable.
Operating Instructions
Your SONGMICS OBN088B01 office chair offers several adjustment features for optimal comfort and ergonomic support.
Height Adjustment
To adjust the seat height:

Tilt Mechanism
The chair features a tilt mechanism for reclining the backrest and seat, allowing for a more relaxed posture.
- To recline: Pull the lever on the left side of the seat outwards to unlock the tilt function. Lean back to recline.
- To lock the tilt: Push the lever inwards at your desired recline angle.
- To adjust tilt tension: Rotate the round knob located under the seat at the front. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

Foldable Armrests
The armrests can be folded up by 90 degrees to allow the chair to be pushed closer to a desk or to save space.
- To fold up: Simply lift the armrests upwards until they lock into the vertical position.
- To fold down: Pull the armrests downwards until they return to the horizontal position.
