I had big problem with fitting arms in. I made the following list to help others. (I think the type of fabric and padding on each effects fit. I had a velour that does not slide well) I just put two of these chairs together. This video doesnt highlight the issues with the arms. I added a few tips below. AAA. Don't rush or you can lose patience young padawon! it may take loger than you wanted. 1. get 13mm or 1/2 inch socket from toolbox with drill like this guy has or ratchet. WITH EXTENSION 2. rubber mallet for banging arms into place 3. 3 foot bar clamp to squeeze top of arms while seating them into slot.(or strong freind to squeeze padding) 4. 2 scrap pieces of wood to prevent damage to material 4.5 work bench. 5. Turn on happy music(38 special or Outfield) 6. Marry supportive wife who says, "It's OK. You know how IKEA is. Take a break. We'll get it eventually." Note on arms - The piping across the back of the chair must line up and wood on bottom must be covered in order to get bolts in. ***!!! (most important) Leave alll nuts and bolts loose until All holes match up
Hi, I made this video as a quick reference when I was assembling it. I took had trouble getting the arms in the side. I needed help because I wasn't strong enough to push it down in.
@@edebanki7447 I had managed to break the hole trying to force it in, so I re-tapped it with a M8 1.25 hand tap and installation went fine after that. If your IKEA is close and actually has more stock of the chair in the right color (mine didn’t) you might want to go to customer service instead to get a new side.

Nice job
Thank you!
Are you welcome my friend
@ 0.36, how do you get the washer and bolt to tighten. mine remains loose and tries to slide off.. Is there a trick to it? Alternate method?
I used the tool to tighten it until firm. Do you have the screw all the way through?
Did you need to do anything special to make the bolts insert and tighten easily at 1:43?
Hi- I just used the tool that came with the chair to tighten the bolts!
Hey man, u found any solution?

The holes doesnt fit...had to use a maschine to make new holes....what a nightmare to as gather the sides on !
Unfortunately IKEA furniture can be hit or miss.
Those fps really don't like the hounds tooth print
Haha, no they don’t. Cameras don’t like pattern.
