You're not kidding. I spent a whole fckg day trying to put this thing together. Back in the box it went . I sent to Staples and bought one put together. A couple extra dollars? Yes, but it's not worth the aggravation. I thought I'd give it a try I knew I shouldn't have.
My wheels popped off this morning, then I fell over and spilt coffee all over my desk and laptop- in the middle of a virtual meeting. I am not pleased.
I'm so glad everyone is stuck on the wheels at least im not alone months later and I finally put the wheels in 😎 just put some olive oil on the wheels and wiggled them around while pressing down with both hands and they finally popped in
THANK YOU!!! I WAS STRUGGLING and it seemed hopeless. I just dipped the tissue in a just little bit of oil, and twisted them a little while I put them in. Still a challenge but it def helps
This video helped more than the instructions did. .. I appreciate you and my chair is operating like a professional assembled it, only took me a good 30/40 minutes 🥰🔥
For anyone suffering with the wheels -- I was stuck for an hour, then I found out this guy has a specific way that he didn't explain in the video. First assume the back of the wheel is the part that we want to attach to the base, and the front of the wheel is the opposite end. Place all the wheels in their position, then flip the base along with the wheels. The important part: 1) when you draw a line from the front to the back, the line should align with the corresponding part of the base. 2) the front should be pointing away from the base. 3) The wheel has to be straight, or coaxial to the base (which means you may need to press the front of the wheel). 1 and 2 should be easy to understand, if not, go watch the video again carefully and pay attention to the angles
Ur not showing the most important part which is getting the seat onto the back. It's too wide for the armrests. I had to do one arm, then the seat, then the other arm.
@@laurahernandez2443 gurl I thought the armrests were gonna snap off lmao I finally figured it out but Jesus this video is like "step 1: screw this piece into this piece. Step 2: the chair is 90% assembled."
YES!! I don't understand how I'm supposed to fit the cushion into the space where the armrests are screwed in. It's like one should happen before the other
I truly needed this! Thank you. Just unboxed my amazon chair and the directions were confusing as hell. Scanned the bar tab and it brought me here. The step by step video was very easy and the assemble took less than 15mns! Thank you!!!
I was so struggling with the wheels, came here got nothing cause he just pushed them in like what, anyway, if you push really hard while moving it back and forth it goes in after like 10 seconds of that
For the wheels, I used pliers and took off the dangly piece of metal around the groove on the wheel stem. I had to do it for 4/5 of the wheels. They went in, but they're loose, so I had to do it after assembling the rest of the chair. It should work fine if you don't plan to pick the chair up, and the wheels seem to roll fine. Make sure to keep the metal you take off though, you might need it if this method doesn't hold up!
OMG. JUST finished assembling this chair. The instructions and video helped, but there were a few steps I must have missed. But it is done and I think l will go take a nap now to recover from this adventure.
For anyone having problem with the wheel, take a smaller hammer, put it between the line crevice of the wheel while having the main piece upside down like he had it. Put your knee on the center to keep it down then push down on the wheel with the hammer head stuck in between the crevice. They popped in pretty easy for me that way lol
There’s two holes that are different than all of them. It’s the one that connects the back to the seat and the washer and the screw don’t sit like the rest of them. I think these chairs are all defects due to those two holes that they didn’t count in the placements for the washer to sit flat.
I was having a devil of a time trying to get the wheels in so I read the comments below the video. Seriously they were right. Just use some oil. It makes it SO much easier. It doesn't slide in but it's definitely not a battle to get them in
I used a clamp to force the wheels on. Awkward but eventually worked. I found it helpful to keep the elbow screws kind of loose on the backrest but still attached, to guide the full armrest onto the seat bottom to position the screw holes. Then tighten them back up.
People struggling on the wheels, do an almost full rotation while you push them in. I’m a pretty weak person but I was able to get it in with only a bit of pressure!
The wheels were easy, my problem was the two screws in the back closest to the middle of the chair. They use washers but the washers don't sink down in the channel they just tighten to the top and start bending the washers. very poor design on this part of the chair.
I tried that. I just bought one. When I got to the screws with the base something wasn't right. I spent an hour. And that was it. In the box and back it went you got to be a freaking engineer to put this stuff together.
I have gotten all of the wheels on besides for one, and it will not go in no matter what. The wheel will go in no holes, and no wheels will go in that hole. Is there a fix? Edit: Just had to push harder.
Yeah am having problems putting in the wheels. I have finally put in all but one. It will not go in! That’s what she said :-) lol before anyone else feels the urge to say that haha
So wheels went smoothly yet the arms were annoying. In the future I will connect the seat and back then the arms will be next to last. Overall out of a 10 I would give it a 6 for difficulty.
How do you separate the base after assembly? I'm trying to return it because its tiny. I can not get the 3 base pieces apart the wheel base, the pump and the chair base with reclining lever. They're utterly stuck and idk how to get it back in the box without disassembling it.
@@firstdbzmaker so I ended up taking it to UPS for help, they had dealt with the issue before. He had a thin piece of wood like a fence slat (1x4) to cover the bottom of the pump where the little metal bracket part was and then he hit it with a hammer and it just popped out. So try to cover the bottom part of the pump with something strong enough you can hit with a hammer and have it provide surface tension enough that when you smack it it just pushes right out
I ended up watching another video on how to separate an office chair and I learned that there’s a little black clip with a washer underneath. Once you slide out the clip it comes apart easily. But thanks for the advice!! Btw, was this company trying to give you more and more discounts to keep the chair when trying to return?
FOR THOSE WHO ARE STUCK ON THE WHEELS: 1. Lubricate both base & wheel thoroughly. I used a high grade, non staining mechanical oil 2. Anchor your knee onto the center of the base (I used a pillow for maximum force) 3. Insert the wheel, making sure it's facing the right way (watch video at .5 speed to see) 4. With your knee anchored on the center of the base, use a rubber mallet or hammer to press all of your body weight onto the wheel. They pop in fast after that! Good Luck!
Omg finally got the 5th wheel in. I broke the first chair trying to get the wheel in. The company wouldn’t refund and only could supply another one. I barely after 2 hours got the wheels in.
Really!?!? A bench to put a chair together !?! And yeah you skipped a step, I will not recommend this chair to anyone.. not even my worst enemy! Plus yeah those wheels... good luck!... the arm rests are the worst too!
I actually just put the wheels on. You need two hammers. First hammer, you turn upside down and put it between the crease of the wheels and use the second hammer to hammer it in. I had the wheels face the same way as the video and had tilted the base two keep it stationary. Hope this helps someone!
