Xiaomi Office Chair Installation

Admin October 17, 2026

The installation of the Xiaomi folding chair mainly involves the correct unfolding process, while the installation of a regular office chair requires assembling the components step by step.

Xiaomi Folding Chair Installation Steps

  1. Unfold the Seat: Take the folded chair out of the storage bag. Hold both sides of the chair frame (usually the seat frame) with your hands, lift it up, and gently shake it forward to allow the folded legs to hang down naturally. Then place the chair on the ground and press down steadily on the seat surface with both hands until you hear a clear 'click' sound or feel a distinct locking sensation, indicating that the internal buckles or self-locking mechanisms are in place.
  2. Check Stability: After unfolding the chair, do not sit on it immediately. First, visually inspect whether all support rods are fully opened and whether the X-shaped cross structure is properly extended. Then, gently shake the chair by holding the backrest and seat to check if it is secure and free from any abnormal looseness or noise, ensuring that the buckles at the connection between the backrest and seat frame are tightly engaged.
  3. Fold and Store: To fold the chair, hold both sides of the front edge of the seat simultaneously. Generally, you need to lift it slightly upward to unlock the buckle mechanism, then fold the front and back legs towards the center of the chair. Follow its natural folding trend to flatten the chair, and finally secure it with the built-in straps or place it in the storage bag.

Regular Office Chair Installation Steps

  1. Count Components: The components of a regular office chair usually include five casters, one pressure lift rod, one five-star base, one control mechanism tray, and one seat. Carefully count them before installation.
  2. Install the Tray: Flip the chair over, remove the screws under the seat cushion, and then install the tray on the bottom of the seat cushion.
  3. Install Casters: Attach the five casters to the five feet of the five-star base respectively. Simply snap them on and ensure they are securely in place.
  4. Connect the Pressure Lift Rod to the Five-Star Base and Seat: Place the five-star base upright on the ground, connect the thicker end with holes of the pressure lift rod to the five-star base, and then install the seat with the tray onto the pressure lift rod.
  5. Check Safety: Try sitting on the chair and hold the handle of the control mechanism tray to see if it functions properly. There is also another installation sequence: first install the armrests onto the seat cushion, then install the mechanism and connect the backrest, followed by inserting the casters into the five-star base, placing the gas lift into the five-star base, and finally inserting the upper part of the chair body into the gas lift and locking it.
