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!

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.

There should be a button sticking out of the top step (front left). Just push that down and push the steps and it'll easily close. Hope that helps.

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.

If you can, try taking it apart and starting over. If not, I think it's jammed and therefore broken. Mine work. But, I have had other chairs that just simply break/do not go up and down.. Good luck.

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 would suggest buying a new chair. These chairs are great for interim, until you can afford a better one. Made with all the care and craftsmanship of a moose poop.

I had the same problem. One side clicked into place. I found that to install or remove the back of the chair it is easier if you tilt the chair forward 90 degrees so that the back is parallel to the floor. You should be able to lift the bottom flap and see the two attachment points. I believe there is detent that you will have to press and release to get the right side to release if it has indeed clicked into place. I believe I pressed using a screwdriver to insure I didn't pinch a finger. If you get the right side to release the back should be much easier to see the attachment points to align both sides when the chair is tilted as I've described. I had the same problem.

I had the same problem. My boyfriend had to figure it out for me. You need to push down on the two parts the seat panel is attached to. As you push down the chair will unfold. It "snaps" over center to stay open. To fold up simply pull up on the same two parts and the chair will fold up.

HOW does it fold up? You just lift up the seat and grab it by the center, it folds right up. Who does it fold up? Anybody caught sitting in it I guess!!

Raise it all the way forward and it will release and fold back down flat. It clicks up notch by notch but when you finished just go up as far as you can and it should release and go back down flat. That's how mine works. So hope that does the trick for you. I love my table and it's been great purchase.

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.

I have had this happen a couple of times, thinking it was broken. However, there are two things you can do. First, just twist the chair's frame a little to loosen things up. Also, for a long term solution, spray some WD-40 on and down the tubes that normally slide the seat up and down. The tubes just got a little twisted and have a lot of friction inside the other tubes - add lubrication. Good Luck!

It does not collapse. It has a sleeve that fits on a post on the top of the chair, so it can be removed and set aside. We have had a lot of wind and rain this Spring, so we just took it off and stored it. I didn't need/want it anyway. We also took the cushion off, due to the rain. I didn't want it to get wet and stinky. But the mesh that is under the cushion is plenty comfortable, so we just left the cushion off. We might put it back on when the Spring rains stop, but I doubt it. It's black mesh, and dries quickly. It's the same stuff many outdoor chairs have on the seat.

I think you should look for another chair. Too bad as this is a GREAT chair.

you can collapse it if there is nothing in it, by pushing the separator flaps down. i bought one of these for me, one for my son and one for my son-in-law, unsure if any of us would bother using them. after a year, we all still use them all the time.
