IKEA POÄNG rocking chair instructions

The rocking motion of the POÄNG rocking chair can be adjusted and lubricated to restore the smooth movement. Here are the steps to do this:

1. Locate the screws under the seat that attach the rocking base to the chair frame. Loosen these screws slightly, but do not remove them completely.

2. Apply a small amount of a lightweight lubricant, such as silicone spray or white lithium grease, to the rocking mechanism where the base meets the frame. Avoid using too much lubricant as it can attract dirt and dust.

3. Gently rock the chair back and forth a few times to work the lubricant into the mechanism.

4. Retighten the screws under the seat to secure the rocking base.

5. Test the rocking motion and repeat the lubrication process if needed until the chair is moving smoothly again.

The slight creaking sound you're experiencing with your POÄNG rocking chair is fairly common and can often be resolved with a simple adjustment. Here are a few steps you can try:

1. Check all the screws and bolts on the chair frame and tighten them securely. Over time, the wood can expand and contract, causing the joints to loosen slightly and create that creaking sound.

2. If tightening the screws doesn't resolve the issue, you can try applying a small amount of wood glue or furniture wax to the joints. This can help lubricate the connections and reduce any creaking.

3. Ensure the chair is placed on a level surface. An uneven floor can cause the frame to flex and creak during rocking. Try moving the chair to a different location or adjusting the leveling feet.

4. As a last resort, you can contact IKEA customer service. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting tips or arrange for a replacement part if there is a more serious issue with the frame.

With a bit of simple maintenance, the creaking should subside, and you can continue enjoying the comfort and relaxation of your POÄNG rocking chair

To help the rocking motion feel smoother again, you can try the following:

1. Check the screws and bolts: Ensure that all the screws and bolts connecting the frame and the base are tightened properly. Over time, they can become loose, causing the rocking motion to feel stiff.

2. Lubricate the rocking mechanism: Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or furniture polish to the rocking mechanism where the frame meets the base. This will help reduce friction and make the rocking motion smoother.

3. Adjust the tension: Look for any adjustable screws or mechanisms on the underside of the chair that control the rocking tension. Gently loosen these to allow for a more effortless rocking motion.

4. Replace worn parts: If the rocking mechanism is still stiff, there may be worn-out parts that need to be replaced. Contact IKEA or a furniture repair specialist to see if any replacement parts are available.

By following these steps, you should be able to restore the smooth rocking motion of your POÄNG chair

To assemble the POÄNG rocking chair, follow these steps:

1. Locate the frame, legs, and seat cushion. Make sure you have all the necessary components.

2. Attach the legs to the frame. There should be pre-drilled holes on the frame where the legs will connect. Secure the legs using the screws provided.

3. Ensure the legs are evenly spaced and the frame is stable before tightening the screws completely.

4. Once the frame is assembled, place the seat cushion on top, aligning it with the frame.
