Structure
The assembly of the ICOS was, as with the Recaro, minimally more complex than with most other chairs, where the armrests are often pre-assembled and the backrest only has to be put on. Including photo documentation, the assembly took a little over half an hour. As a meanwhile practiced chair assembler I got the assembly managed well alone, but some fasteners would have been easier with a helping hand. Overall, the assembly was not witchcraft and with the enclosed instructions I see even technically not so fit buyers in a position to manage the assembly.
I did not strictly follow the assembly instructions and simply followed the pattern I usually follow. First, the casters to the base.
Then turn the base to the correct side and insert the gas spring. I always make sure that the spring is seated properly, because once it is jammed or pressed into the cone, it can only be removed again with a lot of effort.
Now the armrests were screwed on. Here you have to juggle and balance a bit without a helping hand.
Once both armrests are mounted, the seat can be “parked” upside down on them.
This allows the rocker mechanism to be aligned and screwed in place quite comfortably.
However, the included tool is almost too clunky for some screws and grinds on the construction when screwing.
Also familiar from the RAE: The massive connecting angle between the seat and backrest:
However, installation is somewhat more complicated on the ICOS. While Recaro has already pre-assembled the part on the backrest, a plastic cover must first be removed here….
And the angle then be screwed to the construction:
The latter turns out to be a bit difficult with two hands again!
Done!
Now place the seat on the gas strut:
Briefly wonder why you can’t get the headrest inserted into the openings provided for it, and without a hint come up with it yourself that these rubber plugs have to be removed first:
Aha!
And finally then the first test sitting on the fully assembled chair!
