Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Lay both side frames on a rug and fit a curved rail onto a front stub.
Check which way the rail curves and line up the hex hole, as the manual shows.
Step 2
Fit the second curved rail onto the other stub.
Same frame, at the back leg. Hex hole lined up again.
Step 3
Push 2 bolts (128654) through the rails into the stubs.
By hand — the nuts go on later.
Step 4
Turn the other side frame over onto the rail ends.
The stubs slide into the open ends of both rails.
Step 5
Push 2 more bolts (128654) in on this side.
Step 6
Screw 4 nuts (104875) onto the bolt ends by hand.
Just finger-tight for now.
Step 7
Stand the chair up.
Step 8 · manual step 7
Push the backrest down onto the two back legs.
Step 9 · manual step 8
Fix the backrest with 2 screws (106917) from behind.
Use the Phillips screwdriver.
Step 10 · manual step 9
Tighten the 4 nuts with the wrench.
Work in the order 1–4 shown in the manual (step 9).
Step 11 · manual step 10
Push the 2 clips (128671) up onto the back nuts.
Step 12 · manual step 11
Hook the front of the seat under the front rail.
Keep the back of the seat raised.
Step 13 · manual step 12
Press the seat down until it clicks into place.
There are 6 click points.
Tips & safety
- Chair wobbly? Re-tighten the 4 nuts. Pull the 2 clips off the back nuts first, tighten with the wrench, then push the clips back on (manual p. 10).
- Work on a rug or the flattened box. It keeps the black frame from getting scratched.
