- Height Adjustment: To adjust the chair height, locate the lever under the right side of the seat.
- To raise the seat: While seated, lift the lever and slightly lift your weight off the seat. The seat will rise. Release the lever at the desired height.

- 360° Swivel: The chair is designed to swivel 360 degrees, allowing for easy movement and access to different areas without needing to reposition the entire chair.
- Tilt Tension Control: The chair features a rocking mode with adjustable tilt tension.
- To adjust tilt tension: Locate the round knob under the front-center of the seat. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).
- To engage/disengage rocking: The same lever used for height adjustment can also lock/unlock the rocking function. Push the lever inwards to lock the chair in an upright position, and pull it outwards to allow rocking.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your chair.
- Cleaning Fabric: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and loose debris. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner according to its instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Frame and Base: Wipe metal parts with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Periodical Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading.
