Is there a trick to "sliding" the chair into the base?!? They are getting hung up on something and two are not going through completely.

Just wiggle and flex the rods a touch and they should slide in. Also make sure you pulled off the thread protectors.

There are little black caps on the ends which have to be removed before pieces will slide together. Took 2 engineers with flash lights to figure this out at our home! ! We are enjoying the chairs now.

That was no problem at all with mine. Maybe there was a 'burr' inside or a buildup of paint to make it a little harder to fit. Both are easy fixes.

Mine went in with no problem. Maybe take a file lightly around the inside of the hole to remove whatever it's getting stuck on?

There is a nut our a plastic piece you need to remove, they are great chairs

Are you sure there is not a cap on the end of the metal. It will be black and you don't even notice it is there.Once you remove the cap they slide right together.

I have trouble getting the chair in reclining position and back down I thought it was stiff because it was new. Is there something anyone can do ??

You have to manually slide the arms around the base. It may be a little stiff, but three of the arms should move.

if you meant that you were having trouble attaching the seat to the arms (already attached to the chair back) then i would suggest try putting the seat on first. if you meant that you were having trouble attaching the seat to the base via the screws.....well. make sure you are using the longer screws for this task. the directions have a mistake and usually make you attach the chair back to the arms with the wrong (longest) screws. use the longest screws and line it up. it might take some doing but you should be able to position it correctly. try screwing one screw a little first, and then going diagonally across to the other side and screwing another in partially. then connect the other two and tighten evenly to prevent it from damaging the screw slots. thats the best advice i have for you. if you cant manage that, maybe let someone else do it (ooh, like maybe someone you are angry at. that would be pretty good punishment. and they might even be able to do it lol).

They just need a little tug. I know its hard to get out sometimes. Find the center point of the panel and then pull at it, this ensures that the force is evenly applied so one corner isn't pushed up against the machine itself.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. My chair seems to work fine. Wish I had a suggestion for you.

You have to "slide" it in from the side, I think. Worth a try. Or maybe have one person hold one side down while another person pushes the axle down with foot (while wearing a shoe!) Try both suggestions. It's been a while since I put ours together. We have so many of these kids things, it hard to remember how they were all put together. I totally understand your frustration!

Try pushing down on the top then opening at the same time. I think that it is a safety feature. Hope that helps.

I had the same problem. One side clicked into place. I found that to install or remove the back of the chair it is easier if you tilt the chair forward 90 degrees so that the back is parallel to the floor. You should be able to lift the bottom flap and see the two attachment points. I believe there is detent that you will have to press and release to get the right side to release if it has indeed clicked into place. I believe I pressed using a screwdriver to insure I didn't pinch a finger. If you get the right side to release the back should be much easier to see the attachment points to align both sides when the chair is tilted as I've described. I had the same problem.

Hi! The tension should keep it up. Othwerwise, the astronauts need to perform some in space repairs (perhaps a tiny clothespin or paperclip might help?) ! How frustrating to have it keep falling!

The top two ropes to hang the chair are untied - you need to tie them to the S hook provided. There are probably lots of way to hag this chair from a limb, and it depend on many factors, but whatever way you choose, it wouldn't be difficult to figure out. Just buy two chairs and invite someone handy and helpful to provide assistance, and then you can both enjoy the chairs together when you are done!

Hi I put them together using the instructions didn't have a problem but after while I had to take it apart and re adjust it. It took a couple of times before I got it right. Take it down and try again make sure when u put the chair on the bar it's lined up properly and if u turn the Chair base over there are bolts try to adjust them. Also when u put the chair on the stand u have to pump it all the way up and then down.

One end will flip open and the other end will flip the opposite way. You will need to fold each end in all the way to unlock them then push them back all the way then put them up to the position you want., they will lock into place. Hope this helps!!! I love this chair!!!

You can try pushing from the holes inthe top.... I had no problem, I just pinched the bottom of mine and bent it. There are actually 2 of them inside... hope this helps

I've found it hard to get off twice. Other than that no problems. I think I may have twisted mine on to tight. I had to use two hands and my daughter hold the base to get it off . Good luck!
