How to Assemble a High-Back Wooden Rocking Chair with Cushions
Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing
Instruction: Carefully remove all parts from their packaging. You should have two rocker base pieces (the curved rockers), two side frames (each with armrests and slatted back supports), a seat frame, a backrest support bar (if separate), seat and headrest cushions, and a hardware kit (screws, bolts, washers). Lay everything out on a clean surface, checking each item against your assembly manual.

Step 2: Attaching the Rocker Base to the Side Frames
Instruction: Identify the left and right side frames (each includes the armrest and vertical slats). Align each rocker base piece with the bottom of the side frames, matching the pre-drilled holes. Secure them using bolts or screws from the hardware kit. Keep the hardware slightly loose to allow for alignment adjustments.

Step 3: Securing the Seat Frame & Backrest
Instruction: Once both rocker bases are connected to the side frames, position the seat frame between them. Align the seat frame’s pre-drilled holes with the side frames and fasten with screws. If there is a separate backrest support bar, attach it at the top of the slats or side frames, as indicated by the manual.

Step 4: Installing Cushions & Headrest
Instruction: Place the seat cushion on the seat frame, ensuring it fits snugly. If your design includes a headrest cushion, secure it around the top of the backrest using any provided straps or ties. Adjust the cushion placement so that it provides adequate support.

Step 5: Final Checks & Placement
Instruction: Gently rock the chair to confirm stability. Tighten any loose bolts or screws, and wipe down the wooden surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Finally, place your new rocking chair in a relaxing spot—by a window or near a bookshelf—where you can enjoy its gentle motion and supportive design.
