WARNING! An improperly assembled chair can collapse, causing injury or damage. Inspect periodically for loose screws.
Assembly Steps
Estimated assembly time: 15-20 minutes. Follow steps in order.
- Step 1 - Unpack: Remove all parts from packaging. Lay them out on a soft surface.
- Step 2 - Attach Front Legs: Align the front legs assembly (Part 100002) with the corresponding holes on the front of the main frame (Part 100001). Insert 4 screws and tighten partially with the Allen key.
- Step 3 - Attach Rear Legs/Back Support: Align the rear legs/back support assembly (Part 100003) with the rear holes on the main frame. Insert 2 screws and tighten partially.
- Step 4 - Install Cross Brace: Position the cross brace (Part 100004) between the front and rear leg assemblies at the designated mounting points. Insert the remaining 2 screws.
- Step 5 - Final Tightening: Once all parts are aligned and screws are inserted, go back and fully tighten all 8 screws securely. Ensure the frame is stable and does not wobble.
- Step 6 - Attach Cushions (Optional): If you have compatible IKEA cushions, place the seat cushion on the frame and attach the back cushion according to its own instructions.
Tip: Do not fully tighten any single screw until all screws for that part are started. This allows for minor adjustments during alignment.
