When that long-awaited package from Velshan Office Furniture arrives, there’s nothing quite as exciting as unboxing your brand-new office chair. But once you see the parts neatly packed inside, the next question usually pops up:
“How do I put this together?”

Don’t worry — assembling your office chair doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right instructions and a bit of patience, you’ll have your chair ready in minutes and your workspace looking stylish and comfortable.

This step-by-step guide walks you through the process so you can confidently set up your chair — and start working in comfort right away.

This guide covers the general process for assembling most Velshan office chairs and similar models. Since some designs may have unique configurations or hardware, always refer to the instruction manual that comes with your specific chair for exact details.

What You’ll Need Before You Start

To make the assembly process smooth, prepare your space and gather a few essential tools before you begin. Here’s what you’ll need:

✅ Phillips screwdriver

✅ Allen wrench (usually included in your package)

✅ Rubber mallet (optional but handy)

✅ Clean, spacious area for assembly

✅ All the chair components from the box

Having everything organized beforehand will make the entire process faster and easier.

Step 1: Unpack and Check Your Inventory

Start by carefully unboxing all the components of your new Velshan office chair. Use scissors or a cutter gently to avoid scratching any parts.

Then, do a quick inventory check:

• Compare all items with the parts list in your user manual.

• Organize smaller hardware (screws, washers, bolts) in small containers so they don’t roll away.

• Identify the key components: base, gas lift, seat, backrest, and armrests.

If you notice any missing or damaged parts, contact Velshan support right away — we’ll make sure you get replacements quickly.

Step 2: Assemble the Chair Base

Your chair’s base is the foundation that supports everything else, so assembling it correctly is crucial.

1. Place the star-shaped base upside down on a clean surface.

2. Firmly push each caster wheel into the holes at the end of each leg until you hear a satisfying “click.”

3. If your model includes wheel covers, snap them on for a sleeker finish.

4. Flip the base upright and ensure all wheels roll smoothly.

You’re off to a great start — your chair is already taking shape!

Step 3: Install the Gas Lift Cylinder

The gas lift cylinder allows your chair to adjust height and provides a smooth motion when you sit or stand.

1. Take the gas cylinder and insert the wider end into the center hole of the base.

2. If there’s a cylinder cover, slide it over for a neat look.

3. Make sure it’s seated firmly — no wobbles.

This piece will soon connect your seat to the base, giving you that ergonomic height control Velshan chairs are known for.

Step 4: Attach the Seat Mechanism

The seat mechanism, also known as the tilt mechanism, connects the chair seat to the gas lift.

1. Place the seat cushion upside down on a soft surface (to protect the upholstery).

2. Align the metal mechanism with the pre-drilled holes underneath the seat.

3. Look for the “FRONT” marking and align it correctly — direction matters!

4. Insert screws through the mechanism and tighten them using the Allen wrench.

5. Tighten all screws securely, but don’t overdo it — over-tightening may strip the threads.

Once done, give it a little wiggle to ensure it’s properly fitted.

Step 5: Connect the Seat to the Base

Now that both the base and seat are ready, it’s time to bring them together.

1. Turn the seat right-side up.

2. Position the center hole of the seat mechanism over the gas lift.

3. Lower the seat gently until it rests securely on the cylinder.

4. Apply light pressure by sitting down once to lock the parts together.

That’s it — the chair is officially standing on its own!

Step 6: Attach the Backrest

Depending on your Velshan chair model, the backrest may come either attached or as a separate piece.

If separate:

1. Align the backrest with the mounting brackets on the seat.

2. Insert the provided bolts through the designated holes.

3. Tighten securely using the Allen wrench.

If partially attached:

1. Raise the backrest to its upright position.

2. Secure it using the bolts provided in your kit.

The backrest gives your chair its ergonomic structure — make sure it’s tightly fixed for long-lasting support.

Step 7: Install the Armrests

The armrests are the finishing touch that adds both comfort and style to your setup.

1. Align each armrest along the side of the seat cushion.

2. Match the pre-drilled holes and insert bolts.

3. Tighten each bolt evenly from underneath using the included Allen key.

4. Double-check that both armrests are level and firmly secured.

Your chair should now look like the elegant, ergonomic Velshan design you envisioned.

Step 8: Perform Final Adjustments

Before you start working, make sure your new chair is fully functional and safe.

• Test the height adjustment lever — the chair should rise and lower smoothly.

• Try the tilt and recline features, adjusting tension to your comfort.

• Ensure all screws are tight and the chair sits evenly on the floor.

• Remove any protective film or packaging left on the upholstery.

Take a few minutes to sit and adjust — after all, comfort is the reason you chose Velshan.

Troubleshooting Common Assembly Issues

Even with clear instructions, small issues can happen. Here’s how to handle them easily:

1. Wobbly Chair

• Recheck that all screws are fully tightened.

• Make sure the gas lift is properly inserted into the base.

• Confirm all wheels are pushed in completely.

2. Height Adjustment Not Working

• If your chair doesn’t rise or stay up, the gas cylinder may need replacement.

• Ensure the lever mechanism isn’t blocked or misaligned.

3. Uneven Armrests

• Loosen the armrest screws slightly, realign them, and retighten.

• Check for even placement before securing.

A few quick checks can save you time and ensure your chair performs flawlessly.

Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Comfort

To keep your Velshan office chair in top condition:

• Tighten screws and bolts every few months.

• Clean casters regularly — trapped dust or hair can restrict movement.

• Use a mild upholstery cleaner for the seat and backrest.

• Lubricate moving parts once a year for smoother adjustments.

• Follow the recommended weight capacity for your model.

Proper care not only extends your chair’s lifespan but also maintains its premium look and ergonomic comfort.
