Usage Features:
- Assembly Process: The assembly is broken down into four clear steps, starting with attaching the back panel to the arm panel, then fastening the seat panel to the arm and back panels, and finally placing the cushions.
- Step 1: Involves placing the back panel (2) on a non-abrasive surface and inserting its hook into the arm panel (1). The arm panel is then fastened to the back panel using M6x50 mm bolts (A), washers (B), and nuts (C). A critical note advises against fully tightening the bolts until the entire chair is assembled.
- Step 2: Focuses on fastening the seat panel (3) to the arm panel (1) using additional bolts (A), washers (B), and nuts (C). Again, the instruction to not fully tighten bolts until final assembly is reiterated.
- Step 3: Requires fastening the seat panel (3) to the back panel (2) with bolts (A), washers (B), and nuts (C). This step also instructs the user to secure all bolts completely using the provided wrenches (D1, D2, and D3), ensuring the chair's structural integrity.
- Step 4: Involves turning the chair upright and placing the left back cushion (4), right back cushion (5), and seat cushion (6) onto the chair.
- Securing Clips: The manual highlights the optional use of securing clips (E) to connect and secure different sections of the chair, allowing for customization based on user preference.
