Does anyone know what size allen wrench it would take to tighten these chairs?

I think it was a 4 mm allen wrench that I used; I used the one that came with the chairs which I LOVE! We've used them quite a bit and they look so nice with the matching table.

Am not sure. Mine are pretty tight and I wasn't aware an allen wrench was even needed. Sorry. But, if I needed to use an allen wrench, I'd just take my allen wrench tool, which has about 15 different sizes, and try them one by one until one worked. You can buy a tool at any auto parts store for $4-5.

Beware!! I purchased 4 of these chairs and two of them collapsed when my guests sat in them. They have some sort of design flaw. Send them back if you still can.

Try checking with your local hardware store...take yours with you to compare sizes.

regular chair size will probably work, as chair I bought for was oversized chair. item will work only on cloth upholstered furniture. worthless on leather!

Hi Johanna, it depends which parts you are talking about. I know when I was assembling the chairs some of the bolts where not correct or they would not go in the hole. I had to go to a hardware store to get those bolts. If you are talking about the parts of the chairs like legs or chair itself, you would probably have to contact Amazon or whoever you ordered it from to get the missing parts. I think you can also call the manufacturer, they might send you whatever that is missing. I hope this helps. :-)

Two Allen wrenches came with my Desmond plate. One adjusts the screws on the black bottom plate. I believe there are 6 screws. Loosen them and slide the plate to your preferred setting and tighten the 6 screws. Snug them but not too tight.

There is a set screw in the blunt end of the handle. Unscrew it enough to slide the handle on to the square recliner rod and then tighten the set screw.

I have them packed away right now so I can't measure them. We use them on Cabela's Zero Gravity chairs; they fit and work nicely.

Most office chairs that have a lift mechanism use a standard socket for the base, and fit the socket under the seat where the adjusting lever does its job. Here's the thing -- if you order it from Amazon and it turns out not to fit, you can return it pretty easily for a credit. I've used these on "place" chairs, and manager's chairs. When it is time to remove the failed lift cylinder I recommend getting some BIG channel-lock pliers to twist the old one out of upper and lower sockets. Lay the chair on its side, grab the cylinder and turn both the cylinder and the leg-wheel base in opposite directions, then twist it out of the bottom of the seat. The new one just pops in-- no sweat. Most office chairs that have a lift mechanism use a standard socket for the base, and fit the socket under the seat where the adjusting lever does its job.

I have a very narrow wrench made for the job. You should be able to find one for sale at any bike store or online

I don't have them available to me at this moment. I can get them for you though. I bought my directors chairs from pier 1 and I can tell you that unfortunately they are too small to allow my chairs to 'lock' open.

I'm not sure what size Allen wrench it takes. Generally you can find the right size at the hardware store. A set of metric and standard Allen wrenches is always a good thing to have. I'd take the unit to the store and see what fits.

I used standard flare nut wrenches. Craftsman usually has a set of three with all the sizes and that is what I have. The manufacturer would probably be glad to answer the question also if you contacted them. Regards. My set worked great.

Very easy. Tipping chair over the hardest part. Measure and make sure you have the correct size.

For the handful of seats that I've used I hadn't noticed any different sizes in the rails but as this post clamps down on the rails I can't see why something like 6mm would be unreasonable (don't have a ruler or my bike handy right now; otherwise I could double check). I have it currently holding this saddle http://amzn.to/Se8Jes under my tush if that can give you any frame of reference. Knowing the size of my allen wrenches (which it seems I need all the time) the rails on that seat are in the range of 5-6mm.

I have other issues other thanthe weight of the chair which should be addressed. The tools that were included with the chair do not work to tightenthe brakes. I had to use my own Allen wrench because the ones supplied were either too large or too small, It required a 5mm allen wrench to tighten the brakes which happens to be an essential part of the wheel chair.

You also must make holes for them before attempting to nail them in to the feet of your chair. Mine bent and broke off on about 1/3 of them. I know you asked for specs, but the previous answer included that. I just wanted you to be aware of the problem I had with them.

I put them on wooden chairs. Turn the chair upside down. Hold the slider on the tip of the chair leg and mark the end of the chair leg with a pen/pencil through the Drill a hole about the diameter of the shaft of the screw to a depth of the length of the screw. By shaft of the screw I mean do not include the threads in that measurement; you want the hole wide enough to allow the shaft in but narrow enough that the threads bite into the wood to hold the slider. Then place slider on the end of the chair leg, and screw it on.
