How to build an office chair? It is quite easy!

Chic leather office chair with padded seat and back

An office chair or computer chair on "wheels" is a convenient and effective replacement for ordinary furniture. A soft seat and backrest reduce the load on the spine, and the rollers eliminate the need to get up to step to the next table with a common phone. Save on the invitation of the collector - learn with us how to assemble a computer chair by yourself.

What is needed to build an office chair

A complete set of parts for assembling an office chair

Open the box and place the contents on the assembly table. Read the instructions carefully. Check the completeness of all parts, materials and tools. Everything you need should already be available. For fasteners for such seats, having a head with an internal hex hole, the manufacturer attaches a special key.

A modern office chair consists of two main parts - an adjustable seat with backrest and a supporting part with adjustable height on roller wheels.

Two components of the chair

Seat with backrest

It can be made in the form of a monoblock solution to which armrests can be attached. But usually the back goes separately. In this case, the kit is as follows:

• back;
• mechanism for adjusting and connecting the seat with back;
• seat;
• armrests.

Support mechanism

Office chair legs that support

Holds the structure in a vertical position and allows you to move without getting up:

• gas lift - performs a support function, has a variable length;
• star-shaped crosspiece with overlays;
• roller wheels.

Step-by-step instructions for assembling the chair

The build will be quick and enjoyable if you stick to the sequence we have proposed.

Install the rollers in the slots

We insert the wheel into the holes on the legs of the chair with a little effort

First, install the rollers in the crosspiece - to do this, insert them with the rods into the holes on the bottom surface of the crosspiece and press down firmly until it clicks. You can use a rubber mallet, but it is not recommended to hit hard on the plastic parts of the parts.

After all the wheels are inserted, we put on the floor and press the whole body on the legs of the office chair

Prepare the seat

We attach the piastra to the bottom of the seat with bolts

Fasten the adjustment mechanism for the back on the back of the seat, and the piastra on the bottom.

Manufacturers offer various options for adjusting the position of the backrest and seat under the features of the spine of a seated person. The most common:

• Piastra - can only adjust the vertical displacement of the seat and back relative to the floor, used in conjunction with PVM;

• PVM (spring-screw mechanism) - reliable and unpretentious, regulates only the angle of inclination and the distance of the backrest relative to the seat, is used together with the piastre in low-cost models;
  

  Spring-screw swing mechanism

• Top-gan - provides “swinging” of a monolithic seat with an angle from 95 to 130º, but at the same time legs can detach from the floor and the chair can tip over, choosing such a product give preference to the mechanism on bearings with the tilt-axis shifted to the edge;

• synchronization mechanism - under the influence of weight of a person automatically changes the angle of inclination of the seat at the same time as changing the seat position, the most expensive solution for top managers.

The correct location of the socket and the adjusting screw is indicated by the arrow

When installing, note that the socket for the gas lift rod must be pointing forward, and the adjacent adjusting screw with a plastic handle should be pointing back. Insert the armrests brackets into the side slots and tighten the screws.

Install armrests on both sides of the chair

Put on a back and fasten the adjusting screw.

Install and fasten the back of the chair

Install a gas lift to the crosspiece

Casing cover assembled and gas-lift - shock absorber for the chair

Remove the protective caps from the ends of the gas lift and insert it into the upper central opening of the cross with its base. Assemble the casing - it is often made of several parts connecting on the principle of a telescopic tube and put it on the gas lift. Insert it into the center hole of the cross. You have assembled the carrier part.

We assemble the carrier part - we insert the gas-lift into the crosspiece

Install the casing in place and get the finished bottom

Connect both sides of the chair

Carefully sit the seat of the office chair on the shock absorber

Install the seat on the gas lift rod and push hard or sit on it - this is necessary for a strong hold to occur.

We press our hands in order to commit

Conduct quality control assembly

We sit down on a comfortable chair and check the success of the assembly

Sitting on a chair, push down on the piastre lever. The seat will go down. Pull the lever up. If there was a return to the original position, the assembly was successful.

So, you have assembled a new office chair without the help of your boss, and now you will not give it to anyone.
