How to Remove the Steelcase Amia Chair Back: A Step-by-Step Guide

This guide is essential if you own a Steelcase Amia chair. We'll be demonstrating how to remove the back of your chair! You might wonder, why would someone need to remove the back of a chair? Well, there are a few reasons: perhaps you need to replace a worn or damaged back, perform a thorough cleaning, or you're planning to ship the chair and need to compact it. Whatever your reason, removing the back is a simple process that can be done quickly and efficiently with the right tools. All you need for this task is a 13 mm wrench or, for an even smoother process, a socket wrench. Let's get started!

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

Before you start, make sure you have a 13 mm wrench or a socket wrench. These tools will help you loosen and remove the bolts effectively.

Step 2: Loosen the Bolts

Turn your chair around to access the back. You will find four bolts at the bottom of the back. Using your wrench, twist each bolt counterclockwise. This action loosens them. It's usually easier to start with one bolt and then move in a cross pattern to the others.

Step 3: Remove the Bolts

Once all the bolts are loosened, continue by removing them completely. You might be able to do this by hand once they're loose enough. Keep the bolts in a safe place as you'll need them to reattach the back later.

Step 4: Detach the Back

With the bolts removed, the back of your Steelcase Amia should come off easily. Gently pull it away from the chair, and voilà, it's separated!

Step 5: Reinstalling the Back

To reinstall the back, slide it into the designated slots on the chair. Start reinserting the bolts using the diagonal bolt trick method. Place the first bolt in one corner, then put the second bolt in the opposite corner. Tighten them slightly by hand. Ensure the back is fully seated and aligned before inserting the remaining bolts. Tighten these by hand as well.

Step 6: Secure the Bolts

Once all bolts are in place and hand-tightened, use your wrench to secure them fully. Ensure each bolt is tight to keep the back firmly attached to the chair.
