This document provides assembly instructions for the "DELUXE X BACK CHAIR RTA" (Ready To Assemble), identified by Item No. C-31. It is a dining or accent chair designed for home assembly. The manual emphasizes careful unpacking and identification of all parts before starting the assembly process.
Function Description:
The DELUXE X BACK CHAIR RTA is a functional piece of furniture designed for seating. Its "X Back" design suggests a decorative element, making it suitable for dining rooms, kitchens, or as an accent chair in other living spaces. The "Ready To Assemble" nature means it is shipped in a disassembled state, requiring the end-user to put it together using the provided instructions and hardware.
Important Technical Specifications (Derived from Part and Hardware Lists):
Chair Components (Part List):
- A: Chair back (1 unit): This is the main backrest component, featuring the "X Back" design.
- B: Seat Frame (1 unit): The structural base for the seat, to which the chair back, legs, and seat cushion attach.
- C: Chair Seat (1 unit): The main seating surface.
- D: Front Leg (L-R) (2 units): The two front legs of the chair, likely designed with specific left and right orientations for proper assembly.
- E: Side Stretcher (1 unit): A structural component that connects the front legs, providing stability and rigidity to the chair's base.
Hardware Components (Hardware List):
- 1: Short bolt (M6 x 35mm) (2 units): Used for attaching the Side Stretcher (E) to the back (A). The M6 designation indicates a 6mm diameter metric bolt, and 35mm is its length.
- 2: Long bolt (M6 x 60mm) (8 units): Used for attaching the Seat Frame (B) to the back (A), and the Front Legs (D) to the Seat Frame (B). These are longer M6 bolts, 60mm in length, indicating connections requiring more thread engagement or passing through thicker sections.
- 3: Screw (M4 x 35mm) (6 units): Used for attaching the Side Stretcher (E) between the front legs, and the Chair Seat (C) to the top of the Seat Frame (B). These are smaller, 4mm diameter screws, 35mm long, typically used for securing components where less structural load is expected or for attaching the seat cushion.
- 4: Lock Washer (Ø6.5 x 11mm) (10 units): These washers are designed to prevent bolts from loosening due to vibration or movement. The Ø6.5mm inner diameter is suitable for M6 bolts.
- 5: Flat Washer (Ø6.5 x 19mm) (10 units): These washers distribute the load of the bolt head or nut over a larger area, protecting the material surface and providing a smoother bearing surface. The Ø6.5mm inner diameter is suitable for M6 bolts.
- 6: Allen Key (K4x80mm) (1 unit): A hexagonal wrench provided for tightening the bolts (1 and 2). The K4x80mm specification indicates a 4mm hex size and an 80mm length, providing sufficient leverage for tightening.
Usage Features:
- Ready-to-Assemble (RTA): This is a primary feature, allowing for flat-pack shipping, which can reduce shipping costs and make the product more accessible. It requires the user to perform the assembly.
- Detailed Instructions: The manual provides step-by-step visual and textual instructions to guide the user through the assembly process.
- Included Allen Key: The necessary Allen key (hex wrench) for tightening bolts is provided, meaning no specialized tools are required for the main structural connections.
- Common Tools Required: A screwdriver is needed for screws (3), which is a common household tool.
- Progressive Tightening: A crucial usage feature is the instruction to "DO NOT tighten any of the bolts, until the chair is assembled, then put on a flat level surface to make sure the chair is level and then tighten the bolts." This ensures that all components can be aligned correctly before final tightening, preventing misalignment, wobbling, or stress on the joints.
Maintenance Features (Implicit):
- Durability: The manual states, "This product has been designed for easy assembly and constructed for durability." This implies that with proper assembly, the chair is intended to withstand regular use.
- Cleaning: While not explicitly detailed, the "Place all wooden parts on a clean and smooth surface such as a rug or carpet to avoid the parts from being scratched" instruction suggests that the chair is likely made of wood or wood-based materials, which typically require standard wood furniture cleaning practices (e.g., dusting, wiping with a damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals).
- Hardware Check: Although not explicitly stated as a maintenance step, the use of lock washers (4) suggests an intention to keep fasteners secure. Periodically checking and re-tightening bolts and screws could be an implied maintenance practice to ensure long-term stability, especially if the chair is subject to frequent movement or heavy use.
- Customer Support: The provision of a toll-free number (1-888-944-8396) for missing hardware or assembly difficulties acts as a support feature, ensuring users can get assistance if needed, which contributes to the longevity and usability of the product.
In summary, the DELUXE X BACK CHAIR RTA is a consumer-friendly, self-assembly chair with a decorative back design. Its assembly process is designed to be straightforward, requiring minimal tools and providing clear instructions to ensure a stable and durable final product. The emphasis on careful unpacking and progressive tightening highlights best practices for furniture assembly.
