Hats off to you Paul, you had a little fight with the clips, but it looked like smooth sailing the rest of the way. Now with the money you saved you can buy another locomotive and take the Misses out for a fine dinner.
Ekornes are a really crap company, despite all the hype and expense and the chairs aren't worth the price really. I bought a Mayfair recliner new in 2023 as I really liked the idea of the laptop table that could be attached but the chair has never felt really comfortable. Decided now, in 2024, I need more height, as am arthritic, so ordered 2 elevator rings from Stressless UK head office at huge cost. They said they'd enclose the swivel ring needed to connect them free - all good, I thought. However, I read everywhere online that the new elevator rings are connected to the swivel ring with 8 clips. I received the 8 clips but both elevator rings only have 4 holes machined out. Other holes (more than 4) are plugged. Not knowing what the hell I'm doing, I query with head office - they've no clue. There's no instructions supplied and the video that head office sent me was for an older version with 6 clips/holes. A friend has come and attached the rings but only using 4 of the clips into the 4 machined holes. I'm left with 4 clips and worried that the chair might be unstable but if Stressless UK haven't got a clue, how the hell am I supposed to know?
Sadly you have to figure things out for yourself which is not correct. I do believe the chairs are very good, however, not as good as the price they cost. Sorry to hear about what has happened to you.
