4.  Put the two top ends of the overhead rope evenly through the closed end (eye) of the bigger S hook.  Be sure to maintain equal rope lengths between the knot and the chair on both sides.   Diagram A

6. Put the end of the rope attached to the footrest through the smaller S hook remaining. Tie an OVERHEAD KNOT and insert that S hook into the same Eyebolt as the chair.  Adjust the overhead knot  so that the height of the footrest is just below the bottom of the seat of the chair. Adjust that OVERHEAD KNOT to Raise or lower footrest to desired comfort.

Reclining Chair to different Comfort Zones.

The comfort level of this chair can be greatly enhanced by adjusting the height of the chair. Raise or lower the chair height via the OVERHAND KNOT. Diagram D. The ideal height for a 6' person is about 14 inches. We recommend not exceeding 15 inches off the floor.

To further enhance the comfort , adjusting the side knots. (See main diagram for location of side knots) Adjust BOTH side knots forward or back in equal lengths. To check equal lengths, take the overhead dowel out, see that the arm dowels are at the same angle.

Angle the chair forward for reading. Angle the chair back for a reclining positions.
