So, you've finally bought an ergonomic chair and are excited to use it finally. However, it has come disassembled, and you have no idea of how to start assembling it. No need to worry anymore – this post will teach you to assemble an office chair.

Most office chairs and gaming chairs include an instruction manual that should guide you through each step of the process. However, the instructions included are often quite complicated to follow by most people. Still, reading the manual isn't necessary for you to learn how to assemble an office chair.

You won’t need too many things to start with the assembly of your desk chair. Find a 12 mm open-end wrench, gather all the components of your office chair, and you can get started.

Office Chair Assembly Instructions

Firstly, unbox your office chair. Make sure to strip the plastic out of all the parts if they have it. Organize the parts so you can easily identify them once you start building the chair. Now, let’s start building the chair with our task chair assembly instructions:

1. Connecting the seat to the mechanism

Connecting the seat to the mechanism

Firstly, you'll need to connect the seat with the chair's main mechanism. You should find a few screw head bolts in the box (typically, there are four). Proceed to start bolting the mechanism with the seat. Do it as tightly as possible, as this part will support most of the weight when you're seated.

Turn the chair upside down, and slide it back onto the mechanism. Once you do, please bolt everything as tightly as possible to make sure nothing falls over.

2. Attach the armrests

If you see the underside of your ergonomic white office chair, you’ll find that there are a few holes around the sides of the seats. That’s where you will attach the armrests. You should have four extra bolts, two for each armrest, so you can attach them safely to the chair.

3. Connect the casters

First, find the gas strut cover and place it on the gas strut. Then, attach the whole unit to the five-star base. Next up, connect the chair mechanism to the five-star base, and your chair should be fully-assembled now.

5. Attach the accessories

Attach the accessories

If you have bought an office chair with a headrest or a footrest, for instance, you should attach them to their respective areas. The headrest goes in the backrest, while the footrest might be attached to the underside of the seat.

6. Inspect the chair

The last step is making sure that everything has been tightly attached and that you haven't missed any bolts. If everything is okay, you're now free to use your chair as you please!
