Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Open the zip on the backrest cover and take out the parts.
Inside: the gas cylinder, 2 armrests and 5 legs. Recycle the plastic, then close the zip.
Step 2 · manual step 1

Work on a rug or the box to avoid scratches. The hub lies upside down.
Step 3 · manual step 2

Press the 5 casters into the ends of the legs until they click.
Push each one straight in — not at an angle.

Turn the base over onto its casters.

The bolt heads should sit neatly in the armrest holes.
