Instructions

    • 1

      Clear out a large space in a room, leaving a three-foot circle around the parts.

    • 2

      Separate the major parts of the chair and arrange them in your space.

    • 3

      Remove any bags containing screws, nails or other parts and set them aside.

    • 4

      Find the instruction manual for assembling your chair. Office chairs vary greatly depending on features, size and capabilities, so you will need to consult the manual to build your chair.

    • 5

      Use the drill or screwdriver to install any screws or other parts of the chair as directed by the manual.

    • 6

      Move the chair to your actual work station when you are about to combine the bottom and top. This way, you won't run into a situation where you can't fit a chair through a doorway. Finish assembling the chair.

Tips & Warnings

  • Organization is the key to putting together your office chair, which is why you need sufficient space. You may want to have a friend help you build the chair to make the process go faster.

  • If you know the task will be too overwhelming, you might consider having someone else do it for you for a fee.
