YB Office Chair Assembly
Admin October 12, 2026
The following are the general steps for assembling the YB office chair:

I. Inventory of Parts Before assembly, carefully check all components to ensure the quantity and specifications meet the requirements. Standard components include:
- Casters: 5 pieces, used for mobility at the base of the five-star foot.
- Gas Lift Cylinder: 1 piece, connecting the five-star foot to the seat, enabling height adjustment.
- Five-Star Foot: 1 piece, supporting the chair structure.
- Control Mechanism Tray: 1 piece, integrating the height adjustment control handle, installed at the bottom of the seat.
- Seat: 1 piece, including the cushion and backrest. If any components are missing or damaged, contact the supplier promptly for replacements to avoid affecting subsequent installation.
II. Installing the Tray
- Flip the seat upside down to expose the screw holes beneath the cushion.
- Use a screwdriver to remove any pre-installed screws (if present), and align the control mechanism tray with the slots or screw holes at the bottom of the cushion.
- Tighten the screws again to ensure a secure connection between the tray and the seat, with no looseness or misalignment. Note: The orientation of the tray must match the intended use direction of the seat to avoid reverse installation, which could disable the height adjustment function.
III. Installing the Casters
- Place the five-star foot flat on the ground, ensuring the five ends are facing upwards.
- Align each caster with the slots or holes on the five-star foot and press firmly until they are securely seated at the bottom.
- Gently shake the five-star foot to check if the casters are properly installed to prevent them from coming loose during use. Key Point: All casters must be installed before proceeding to the next step to ensure the stability of the chair's mobility.
IV. Connecting the Gas Lift Cylinder to the Seat
- Place the five-star foot upright on the ground and insert the thicker end with a hole of the gas lift cylinder into the central connection hole of the five-star foot, ensuring full insertion.
- Lift the seat (including the installed tray) and align the holes at the bottom of the tray with the top end of the gas lift cylinder.
- Slowly press down on the seat to insert the top end of the gas lift cylinder into the tray's hole. A clicking sound or a feeling of tightness indicates successful installation. Tip: This step requires two people to collaborate to prevent the seat from tipping over or damaging the gas lift cylinder.
V. Checking Safety and Functionality
- Sit on the chair and hold the handle of the control mechanism tray, pressing up and down to test if the height adjustment is smooth.
- Rock the seat back and forth to check the stability of the connection between the five-star foot and the casters.
- Rotate the seat to confirm that there are no unusual noises or jams in the connection between the gas lift cylinder and the tray. If Issues Are Found: Recheck if all components are properly installed or contact after-sales service for assistance.
