Stupid question. Do you put the small points upward toward your feet or the larger bumpy side? There are no instructions.

I put the points upward. I had a balance problem and this was recommended by a pilates therapist. It can be useful.

level it out as best you can - I dug down one side and moved the dirt to the other side and used round stepping stones so the poles did no sink into the dirt... If the ground is very uneven you may need to have someone deliver a truck load of dirt to level it out. Do NOT put this on a hill as it will put too much pressure on the poles on one side and could collapse with you in it!!!

You put your uprights on the wrong side. Swap right to left and left to right and they will angle outwards.

You should go up against the direction of the hair. The instruction is in the box

that is how I used it. Just put it a little higher, if you can. I put something under it, like a board, or sometimes nothing. It works well.

You should plant your feet on either side if the weight window. Your toes may hang off the front edge of the scale a bit depending on foot size, but you can clearly read the weight window info. I hope this helps.

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!

I adjusted mine to a comfortable fit and slide my feet in:/out. I find much easier than trying to adjust every time.

Jack makes a good point. When I started using mine I kind of had to find the feel for it and pushing your weight forward on the waist pad (while keeping your back straight) helps a little too. It's kind of like moonwalking in place hence his tip on not picking your foot up, just the heel.

Mine has a sticker on it saying "this side up". It's rough side up, apparently. The bigger question is: how do you get this rolled up thing to lay flat?!

You have to adjust the feet. I had the same trouble at first. It has to be leveled because all floors are not perfectly even.

Pull up the sides til they snap in place. Then push down in the middle. Really sime and quick. We love it

On the right side of the chair, there is an indentation in the chair with a small handle which you pull up and back. this allows the foot rest to actually ppop up, if you do nit attempt to put your legs on the foot rest to allow it to bring it up gently. i found it extremely difficult to bring the foot rest back into the a"chair position" for the first week or so, but now it is doing just fine.i found no button or lever to cause the foot rest to go back to the original position; it must be pushed back until you hear a 'click'.

Think of this item as a see-saw - you may either point it downward like " \ " towards legs or upwards " / " or parallel to floor based of how and where you position your legs on this. Although there is a height adjustment. I find it useful for me as I am 5.1" and gives me the extra support or height adjustment for my legs when I sit at my desk. Occasionally because of see-saw movement I can do leg exercises. Hope that helps

For me, the foot holders need more padding than what's provided. I use some extra foam squares and hand towels folded over. That works well for me in my 15-20 minutes that I'm inverted.

I always left at the feet. I stretched the top/canopy end to the feet. That way was out of the way!
