Estimated assembly time: 15-20 minutes. Follow steps in order.

Attach casters to base: Insert each caster into the five sockets on the base and push firmly until they click into place.
Insert gas lift cylinder: Place the cylinder into the center hole of the base, ensuring it is straight and fully seated.
Attach chair shell to cylinder: Align the hole on the bottom of the chair shell with the top of the gas cylinder. Press down firmly until you hear a click, indicating it is locked.
Attach armrests (if applicable): Align armrests with pre-drilled holes on the sides of the chair shell. Use provided screws and Allen key to tighten securely.
Final check: Ensure all connections are tight. Test the swivel and height adjustment mechanisms.

CAUTION! Do not overtighten screws, as this may damage the material.

Adjustments & Usage

Height adjustment: While seated, pull up the lever under the seat to raise or lower the chair. Release to lock at desired height.
Swivel: Chair rotates 360 degrees freely. Ensure clearance from walls and furniture.
Armrests: Fixed position; not adjustable on this model.

Care & Maintenance

To maintain appearance and function, clean regularly.

Shell: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Base and casters: Dust with a dry cloth. Check casters for hair or debris that may hinder rolling; remove as needed.
