Nychair X assembly tips

Step by step instruction on how to assemble Nychair X and Nychair X Rocking with pictures and follow-along video. Ottoman and Nychair X 80 do not require assembly.

Preparation

Before assembly, please check if the tag is on the back of the frame. If not, scroll down to see how to proceed to reverse the seat.

Align the seat pipes

If you align and stack the seat pipes before proceeding to the next step, they will be less prone to changing their position and it will be easier to insert the screws.

POINT 1

Use a rug under the chair to prevent scratches on the floor. The cardboard Nychair X packaging can also be used.

Fasten temporarily

Lightly fasten the screws by hand so they do not change their position later. You do not have to tighten them all the way.

POINT 2

Adjusting the pipe up and down while supporting the seat pipe with your hand will make it easier to tighten the screws.

POINT 3


Adjust the armrest's and pipe's screw holes, so they are aligned straight, before temporarily fastening them.

Tighten the screws

Apply light force and tighten the screws with a Philips screwdriver. It is recommended that you tighten the four screws gradually, as this method will prevent any imbalances in the assembled chair.

POINT 4

A size 2-3 screwdriver is recommended. A smaller screwdriver might be difficult to use and insufficient to apply sufficient force with; it is also more likely to damage the screw head.

Open the chair and tighten the screws

As a last step, put the chair in an upright position and open it. Inspect the screws and tighten them, until there is no gap visible between the seat pipes and the armrests. The chair is now fully assembled.

CAUTION

When the screw does not go in smoothly

There is a possibility that during tightening, screw holes in armrests and pipes are misaligned. If the screw is tightened at an angle, the thread on the screw can be irreversibly damaged, preventing it from being tightened again. Therefore, it is important to check if the holes are fully aligned.

Correcting a reversed seat

If the chair's seat comes with the tags in front of the chair, it is not necessary to remove the seat to reverse it.

  • Hold the ends of the seat pipes.

  • Collapse the pipes inwards.

  • Grab the pipes at the bend at the lower end of the backrest.

  • Lift.

  • Make sure the seat is in correct position before assembly.
