Complete Assembly Instructions:

1. Carefully review all instructions before beginning assembly to ensure proper setup and safe operation.
2. Place the seat upside down on a stable, flat surface to begin assembly.
3. Insert cross bar B into the diagonal seat channel, then position cross bar A perpendicularly over cross bar B.
4. Using the provided Allen hex tool, fasten all four screws that secure the seat firmly to the frame structure.
5. Insert the middle screw with washer into the center point where the frame and seat meet.
6. Tighten the middle screw completely using both the Allen hex tool and wrench to ensure a secure connection.
7. Insert each leg extension into the frame corners, adjust to your desired height setting, and lock securely in place with the C-Clips. Verify that all four legs are set to exactly the same height for stability.
8. Attach the backrest by carefully aligning the backrest tubes with the mounting brackets and securing with two screws and washers per tube connection.
9. Insert the backrest tubes into the round mounting brackets and secure firmly with C-Clips inserted into the holes nearest to the seat back for maximum stability.
10. Stand the chair upright on a level surface, double-check that all fasteners are tight, and make any final leg height adjustments as needed.

Adjusting Leg Height for Perfect Fit:

To customize the seat height, remove the C-Clip from the adjustment hole on the leg extension, slide the leg to your preferred height setting, and reinsert the C-Clip into the corresponding adjustment hole. Ensure the C-Clip locks securely and completely into place. Repeat this process for all four legs, confirming each is locked at identical height. Push down firmly and pull up on each leg to verify they are securely locked before use. Always confirm all legs are set evenly at your preferred height before sitting on the chair.

• Ensure each C-Clip fully engages the corresponding hole on each leg extension to confirm legs are securely locked at an even height.
