How do I assemble my shower stool?

Working on a flat surface, place the stool seat with the bottom facing you on the work surface. Starting with the leg frame with the concave surface on the underside, align the leg frame with the screw holes in the chair seat and fasten the outer holes with the hand knob screws and washers. Then, align the leg frame with the concave surface on the top surface with the remaining screw holes and secure the outer holes with the hand knob screws and washers. Attach the final hand screw knob and washer through the center hole, securing the entire frame in place. Adjust legs to the desired height by depressing the pushpin and gently pulling the leg extension out.
