Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Marsail Criss Cross Office Chair. This manual provides essential information for the proper assembly, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your new chair. Designed for ultimate comfort and durability, this chair features a spacious seat, scratch-resistant PVC leather, and versatile adjustments to enhance your workspace or relaxation area.
Setup and Assembly
Your Marsail Criss Cross Office Chair is designed for straightforward assembly. Please follow these general steps. For detailed, step-by-step instructions, refer to the assembly guide included in your product packaging.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Verify all components are present against the parts list in your packaging.
- Attach Casters to Base: Insert the five PU caster wheels into the openings at the ends of the 5-leg base. Push firmly until they click into place.
- Install Gas Lift: Place the SGS-certified gas lift cylinder into the center hole of the 5-leg base.
- Attach Seat to Gas Lift: Carefully align the mechanism under the seat cushion with the top of the gas lift cylinder. Lower the seat onto the gas lift, ensuring it is securely seated.
- Attach Backrest: Secure the backrest to the seat assembly using the provided screws and tools. Ensure all screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten.
Important Note: Assembly is typically quick and requires minimal tools, usually an Allen wrench, which is provided. Ensure all connections are stable before use.
Operating Instructions
The Marsail Criss Cross Office Chair offers several adjustable features to customize your comfort.
Height Adjustment
To adjust the chair's height, locate the lever on the right side, beneath the seat. While seated, pull the lever up to lower the chair. To raise the chair, stand up slightly and pull the lever up. Release the lever at your desired height.

Tilt Function
The chair features a 90°-120° rocking tilt. To enable or disable the tilt, push the height adjustment lever inwards or pull it outwards. To adjust the tension of the tilt, rotate the round knob located under the seat, typically on the left side. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

360° Swivel and Rolling
The chair is equipped with a 360° swivel function, allowing for easy rotation without moving the base. The smooth-gliding PU caster wheels enable effortless movement across various floor types, including carpets and hard floors.

Cross-Legged Sitting
The extra-wide 26-inch seat is specifically designed to accommodate cross-legged sitting, providing enhanced comfort for extended periods of work, study, or relaxation.

Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Marsail Criss Cross Office Chair.
Cleaning the PVC Leather
The upgraded PVC leather is scratch-resistant and easy to clean. For general cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.

General Care
- Regularly check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.
- Avoid exposing the chair to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this may cause the material to fade or crack over time.
- Do not use sharp objects on the chair's surface to prevent punctures or tears.
- Keep the caster wheels clean from debris (hair, dust, etc.) to ensure smooth rolling.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Marsail Criss Cross Office Chair, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair does not adjust height | Gas lift lever not fully engaged or gas lift cylinder malfunction. | Ensure the lever is pulled completely. If the issue persists, the gas lift cylinder may need replacement. Contact customer support. |
| Chair wobbles or feels unstable | Loose screws or uneven floor surface. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the chair is on a flat, even surface. |
| Casters do not roll smoothly | Debris caught in casters or damaged casters. | Remove any hair or debris from the caster wheels. If damaged, casters can be replaced. |
| Chair makes noise when moving | Loose connections or friction between parts. | Tighten all screws. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts if necessary. |
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Marsail customer support for further assistance.
