Assembly Troubleshooting Guide
The most important element of correct chair assembly is to tighten the bolts as
directed. Prematurely tightening the bolts can lead to numerous issues and will
lengthen the assembly line. Listed below are the most common issues in chair
assembly and the easy solutions
PROBLEM: Chair is unlevel
Cause 1:
Unlevel chairs can occur if the bolts are fully tightened before all bolts are attached.
There is a variance in the alignment of this chair to allow the chair to be assembled more
easily.
Solution:
Loosen each bolt in the seat box (front legs, back corner blocks and back apron) until
they are finger tight. Place the chair upright on the floor. Sit in the chair for about 30
seconds. Carefully turn the chair upside down and tighten each bolt. The chair will now
be level.
Cause 2:
Unlevel chairs can occur if one or more of the floor glides are missing from the bottom of
the chair leg.
Solution:
Request a set of floor glides from the email address below.
PROBLEM: Bolts do not fit properly
Cause:
This issue can occur when the bolts are tightened fully before all the bolts are attached.
There is a variance in the alignment of the bolts to allow the chair to be assembled more
easily. Tightening the bolts prematurely can cause the holes for the other bolts to
become slightly misaligned, causing the remaining bolts not to fit properly.
Solution:
Make sure each bolt in the seat box (front legs, back corner blocks and back apron) is
loosened until finger tight. This will allow you to realign the holes, and the bolts will not
fit properly.
