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!

Just barely 'tap' that little button at the side of the top step. Don't force, just a 'baby-touch' moves it to the folding position. That's all it takes. Then it will fold closed again. Write back if you can't get it. It's easier than it seems! (That little button moves a lever.) Got it yet? :) I hope so. :)

It can sometimes be tricky. Be sure to colapse all the legs before closing the stool. You need to depress a button on the leg to collapse it...once the legs are closed , it's hard to reach the button. It doesn't sound like a defective stool.

Hi, this is my technique, it's awkward: Put the side tray down. Facing the chair, reach down and put your hands on either side of the seat and grasp the aluminum frame. (You are now holding the chair by seat of the chair) Now the action is this: you want to pull up on the side pieces of the chair seat, until your hands touch each other and the chair has folded together. The problem I find is getting the leverage to pull the seat sides upward. My solution is to push the sides of my arms against the chair arms as I'm pulling up on the seat. This is awkward and I look like some weird kind of stork-like bird, I'm sure, but it works for me. My brain can't think of another way to do it. I think I've tried the same move standing behind the chair, but the high back gets in my way. Good Luck! By the way, the colors fade horribly in strong sunlight (I live in the desert). And then the fabric deteriorates. I've been meaning to write Amazon about it. But everybody loves the chairs and finds them comfortable. Good Luck!

Make sure the horizontal stabilizing bar is up, pull the seat up in the middle and the chair folds right up. Never had any problem. If your chair is particularly tight right out of the box, maybe put a small drop of lubricant on each joint?

I don't know of anyone that repairs this ladder. Ladder repair is a tricky thing. Probably a liability thing. Anyway, am I the only one that keeps pinching myself while collapsing this thing? Ugh!

hold in your hands upside down and quickly pull both bottom legs together with a bit of force. maybe this is a better way to describe it... they (legs) kind of click open so you just have to basically push the two legs in towards each other fast (while holding chair upside down) so they unlock and close..kind of tricky but it worked for me.

I have the same chair and have a exact same problem. I bought this chair few month agofrom Amazon.I tried to fix it but there is no way to fix it... We should ask to replace it...

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!

It's like a lawn chair....fold it forward and you'll hear the "clicks"....it should lie flat then. If you can't get it to stay in a chair position after that, lift it slightly in the middle and it kind of resets.

Facing the front of the chair, take hold of both sides of the seat and pull up towards center. Should release and fold. You may need to keep your foot on one bottom rail.

pull up the (disengage) the lock. I have to tilt the stool and push one of the legs toward the other. I usually do this with my foot. It takes a bit of pressure to close it and I find that this works best for me.

Just push the back down. I hope your chair operates better then mine I have to get my husband to get me out.

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.

Do you have the instructions any more? I don't like the steps. They only slide in and out. You shouldn't remove them but they make moving the chair clumsy. I'm sorry I can't help you more.

I think you should fold it down flat, press down on the edges while turning counter clockwise and it should come apart. It may take a few tries to get it back together, but be patient. Good luck!

Theres a handle in the seat. Pull up and it collapses. Bam! Folded! Very easy!
