IKEA Office Chair Adjustment

The adjustment methods for IKEA office chairs vary depending on the model. Here are the adjustment methods for common models and general adjustment steps:

MARKUS Office Chair

1. Tilt Lock and Angle Adjustment: This model features a synchronous tilt mechanism. When leaning back, the backrest moves more than the seat, providing better body support. The control lever is located on the right side under the seat. Pull the lever, lean back with your back, and release the lever when you reach the desired angle to lock it in place. To return to the original position, pull the lever again and lean forward slightly.
2. Height Adjustment: Adjust the height using the lever on the right side under the seat. Ensure your back and legs form a 90-degree angle to maintain proper posture.
3. Tilt Tension Adjustment: Turn the knob on the right side under the seat to adjust the resistance when leaning back. Turning it clockwise increases support, while turning it counterclockwise reduces resistance, accommodating different body weights or usage habits.

MILLBERGET Swivel Chair

1. Tilt Tension Control: Manually adjust the backrest resistance using the pull knob under the seat. Turning it clockwise increases resistance, while turning it counterclockwise decreases resistance, allowing for a more personalized recline experience.
2. Height Adjustment: The seat supports vertical adjustment. Adjust it to a comfortable position according to your height, ensuring your feet are flat on the ground and your knees are level with your hips.

General Adjustment Steps (Applicable to Most Models)

1. Locate the Adjustment Mechanism: The handle or lever is usually located under the seat or on the right edge. For some models, you may need to bend down to feel for it.
2. Angle Fixing and Resetting: Pull the handle, lean back with your back to adjust the angle, and release it to lock. To reset, repeat the operation and lean forward slightly.
3. Damping Adjustment: If the chair is equipped with a knob, turning it clockwise increases the backrest's rebound force, while turning it counterclockwise reduces resistance. Test by leaning back slowly to feel the support.
4. Safety Test: After adjustment, rock your body back and forth to check if the chair is securely fixed, preventing sudden collapse or automatic rebound of the backrest.

Precautions:

• Ensure the chair is on a stable surface before adjustment to prevent accidents caused by sliding.
• When adjusting the height, keep your feet naturally on the ground to avoid hanging or excessive pressure on your thighs.
• If the adjustment mechanism is stuck, do not force it. Contact IKEA customer service or refer to the instruction manual for troubleshooting.
