How do you close (collapse) this chair? I am embarrassed to ask this question, but nothing I do seems to close this chair. Thanks!

Kneel on the middle of the chair with one knee whilst stand on the ground with your other leg. Lift both sides of the seat (not the arm rests) with both arms, it will fold into half. They are very solidly built so it's not easy, don't feel bad. Any more questions, email me again. Kelly

Don't be embarrassed... it is not easy! However, there are directions on the tag on the underside. I pick up the canvas seat part and pull it toward me. You do have to work at it a little bit. I've been using this chair for events almost 10 months and still have to work at it every time. That's my only complaint about the product though.

Pull up on the seat and this should start closing the frame. Then you can push the seat as you start folding the Frame the rest of the way.

With the side table down, stand facing the chair. Grasp the frame of the seat inside the arms and tug upward.

Use your right hand to grasp the fabric of the seat in the middle of the rear edge of the seat. Use your left hand to grasp the fabric of the seat in the middle of the front edge of the seat. Pull up sharply with both hands simultaneously - et voila ! ADVANCED TECHNIQUE: Swap hands :)

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

Be sure the table locks are off and the table is in the down position. Then, with one hand on either side of the short side of the seat, push the sides together. It's a little hard, which to me means the chairs are VERY sturdy and not easy to collapse. Voila!

Hi,I never collapse mine because I have a hard time turning the rubber grip. If you want one that collapses easily, look around for one that easily turns and snaps in place (I've seen that type). MASK

First, you get out of the chair! Then face the front of the chair, put you arms (both) down, on the inside of the arm rests, grab the edges of the seat and pry the edges of the seat together. I will require a little pressure but you can do it.

Sorry. I ended up buying a new chair, and I never tried to use it. I just kept it for when I may need it in the future.

Mine isn't available to me right now....but if I remember correctly I just grabbed the inside bottom (where pet sits)in my palm and pulled up....then it just started to collapse....hope that helps.

I had a little trouble the first time, but it's pretty easy. Make sure that the bar that you put down for a step is put back up (yes, I made that mistake and fought it forever until I remembered it was down) then you grab the bars that are at the sides attached to the seat (not the armrests) and pulling up and in with them while pushing your forearms against the armrests and it should close fine.

I had difficulty with this too. Flip the chair over and push the two legs together with some force, it will begin to close easily.

You can close just the seat if you like. That's what I love about the thing - when both seat and lid are up (I'm a guy), I just give the seat a nudge, and watch it start to fall in slow motion. I never hear a thing, but it's always ready for my wife. The design is fabulous.

There is a round release knob on the back that you have to turn to fold the top of the chair towards the bottom of the chair. Then there is a button on the front of the chair (just under the front of the seat) that you press and it will fold in the sides. Hope this helps!

Hello Maxim, We do apologize, this chair is not meant to be taken apart and reassembled again. Once it is assembled, the manufacturer recommends for it to stay assembled. You can detach it, however it will be alot of work to do so. They highly recommend to keep it assembled. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

It's hard to do at first because it's new but you just pull back on the stand where the gap is for your fingers. It took a few times of using it for it to behind easier to use. Then to close the a little stopper you have to lift the stand over before it will collapse. Hope that helps!

thanks Nadine for your comment. I never fixed the chair. I gave it away to a friend, hopping that she can fix it and use it.

Hello,I do not have instructions on how to take this chair apart. I do not recommend that you do so as it holds a risk of damaging the item.Thank you!

I never had any problem or even thought about it until the question arose, so I went out and tried to see how it worked for me. I back up to the chair from the side (either one) with the back of one leg close to the armrest and grab the armrest with the closest hand. Then I grab the frame of the chair with the other hand close to the back of my other leg. While holding the chair against both legs I then proceed to sit with no problems, and simply swing into a reclining position. Then I reverse the procedure to exit the chair. Hope this helps!

I push in the red buttons and hold the end of the leg, push it in, and it collapses. Perhaps the red button is not in far enough, or it needs lubrication to easily retract. I have had no problem........... yet. Good Luck.

I wish I could tell you a special trick to use but my daughter folded the couch into position before I got home. She did it by herself which surprised me because it is very heavy.Maybe if you got another person to help, you could put it in place. I know I could not have done it alone.

You can't keep it from sliding away. I would not reccomend this one. There are others out there that have a flap made on the bottom of the chair that you sit on and that is what keeps it from sliding away. You may want to look at those!
