Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward, requiring the attachment of the backrest, seat mechanism, and the gas lift into the 5-star base. Ensure all bolts are tightened firmly according to the included manual before initial use. For maintenance, regularly check the castors for hair or debris to keep them rolling smoothly. The fabric should be vacuumed periodically, and any spills should be spot-cleaned with a mild upholstery cleaner. To protect flooring, especially on hardwood or laminate, consider using a chair mat to prevent the castors from causing scuffs or marks over time.
