How do I make the chair go up and down? After reading the question answer question, I am confused regarding the orange cap.

I had the same difficulty when I was attempting to assemble the stool. Initially, I just sat on it, and the weight brought it down was you moved the hand lever. Once you put the chair on it it works fine, by itself. It had me confused for a few minutes, but trust me once the chair is on it works and I have had no problem once the chair was assembled

There is a lever under the seat, hit it and up it goes. The kids love it. However, to lower it back down requires a full-sized adult to sit on it while depressing the lever.

You have to remove the orange cap. It will work great then. Remove orange cap then put together. It comes off pretty hard, but it must be removed to work. Hope this helps.

If you are pulling on the side handle while sitting on the chair and nothing is happening, you either forgot to remove the black protective cap from the center post (lift) or you have it on upside down.

I was wondering the same thing. I tried pulling on the head pretty hard and it wouldn't budge. It twists in both directions but does not move up and down at all. I'll have to try again when my son isn't using it (it's his bed time right now).

It IS awkward to get in and out of the chair, but very comfortable after you are in it. I found the best way to sit down is to put a foot on either side and then sit backwards; when getting out, get both feet planted on either side and then raise up. Not bad once you get the hang of it.

There is a tab on the right side of the chair.....when you pull it the leg rest comes up. You manually push the leg rest back down using your legs. Also, the chair is a bit on the small side! I would check the dimensions before ordering!

Theres really no instructions, all i did was turn my chair upside down and gave it a big pull, the old part came out of the seat but i had to use a hammer to remove the other section. I used a pair of water pump pliers to get a hold of it and give it a twist to loosen it from the base as it was stuck with "age". that was a big help and i would use that technique before using a hammer lol but it worked none the less. After you get the base and seat separated from the plunger, just set the new one in. the end with the red button goes in the seat end and the other goes in the base. Hope this helps, but as far as the part itself goes, it works fine.

For Veronica - You were right don't take it off. The stool goes up and down with the orange cap on. :-) Apparently, in spite of the instructions they didn't put a "safety cap" on at all. Thanks for the reply.

I have trouble getting the chair in reclining position and back down I thought it was stiff because it was new. Is there something anyone can do ??

Just hold the back of the chair and with the other hand grab the front of the seat and pull upward, it is a little tight but it works. Great chair

Larry, I thought I would try it on our chair, which in love......I accidentally pulled the back into the higher position too!! Lol. I can't figure it out either! Lol. Now I will have to follow this to get my chair back to the right spot. This is all too funny!

I love my Anti=Gravity Chair. Yes, when I first got it I fell on my back too. Then I decided there had to be a easy way to open the chair and I found it. While the chair is folded up set it down on the deck while holding the back rest in your left hand. Then find the arm rest and push down on it until the legs separate to fully open. (That is important) Push down on the back rest until the chair is in a sitting upright position, then it is safe and easy to sit down on it. Use the heels of your shoes to raise up the foot until it is in the position of recline you prefer. When opened correctly it should be in the position of a regular chair when you attempt to sit on it. I hope that helps you to enjoy your chair. Ray Wright

Did you take the black thing off the base? We didn't take that off before putting the top on and the chair would not raise or lower. We had to use plyers to get the black thing on the top of the base off, but once it was off and the top was on the chair does raise and lower. Good luck!

There is a knob on the bottom of the chair you can twist to tighten or loosen. I have yet to use this myself so I can't info you as to how well it works. My advice is to loosen it a quarter turn at a time to assure you don't accidentally fall backwards. I hope this helps

I followed the directions very carefully when putting it together but I cannot raise it. It is a pretty chair, but I am keeping it. Had to go buy another. When I could not get it to rise, I tried to take it apart to start over. Could not. Goood luck.

I was surprised mine leaned back. Usually these simple computer chairs don't do that. It doesn't lean back to the point I fall though. Check knob underneath and turn one way, lean back, then turn the other way and lean back. If that doesn't fix it, retighten all screws with allen wrench. Still doesn't work then something is faulty.

I had trouble with this as well. It's actually really easy, once you figure it out. Just keep cranking the umbrella up. When it gets to the point where it looks like it is fully open, when you crank it more, it starts to tilt.

No height adjustment on chair. You would have to use cushions. Arms on chair are flimsy. One fell off and manufacture was no help at all.Ending up using duck tape to hold on !
