Operating Instructions
The Criss Cross Chair offers several adjustable features to enhance your comfort:
Height Adjustment:
To adjust the seat 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, lift the lever while standing or with minimal weight on the seat. Release the lever at your desired height.
360° Swivel:
The chair is equipped with a full 360° swivel function, allowing for easy rotation and access to different areas of your workspace without needing to reposition the entire chair.
Tilt Function:
The chair features a tilt tension control that allows the backrest to recline up to 30 degrees. To adjust the tilt tension, locate the knob beneath the seat. Turn the knob clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Criss Cross Chair:
- Cleaning Fabric: For general cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Blot spills immediately to prevent staining. For tougher stains, a fabric cleaner suitable for upholstery may be used, following the product's instructions and testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Frame and Base: Wipe down the metal base and frame with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Casters/Foot Pads: Regularly check casters for hair or debris that may impede smooth rolling. Clean as needed. If using foot pads, ensure they are free of dirt that could scratch your floor.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading.
