  1. The hardware is missing: Check the seat or back cushions first. Most of the hardware is pre drilled into the cushions.
  2. There is extra hardware: The seat cushion is made to accept different types of bases for versatility within our product line.
  3. The hardware will not insert all the way into the grommet: Look in the grommet to make sure no debris is blocking the hardware. Try another screw to see if it is the hardware or the grommet.
  4. The parts are not aligning: Do not tighten the hardware completely into the component you are assembling. Tighten hardware a quarter of the way and when all the items are aligned you can completely tighten all the hardware.
  5. Missing assembly instructions: Please visit our website or contact us by email, fax or telephone.
  6. The casters will not stay in: There should be a washer on the metal stem of the caster. Do not take this off. Push the caster in with some force. Twisting or using a mallet to tap it in. The caster stem needs to go all the way in. When inserted properly, the stem will not be visible.

  8. The chair tilts forward: The seat plate may be on backwards. This is for chairs with control mechanisms with tilt and height adjustments. (Spring tilt mechanism). When sitting in the chair, the handle should be to the right side. The tension knob will be in front of the chair. For a multi-function mechanism: Pull paddle upward. Set seat or back into desired degree or position and push paddle back down to lock.
  9. The chair will not recline: Sit in the chair and pull the handle out away from the center post of the chair to unlock. Do not try to lean back while doing this or the lock will not disengage.
