Usage: Maximum load capacity: 250 lbs (113 kg). Do not stand on the chair. Use only with recommended IKEA cushions.
Children: Do not allow children to play with or climb on the chair frame.

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.
