So, you did it. You clicked “add to cart” on the APOL Aevum Series—a chair so stylish and ergonomic it could probably write your thesis and carry your emotional baggage. But now the box is in front of you. And it’s big.

Before you panic and consider using the box as a makeshift chair, we’re here to walk you through how to assemble and set up your Aevum like a pro—no drama, no dislocated wrists, and no mysterious leftover screws (hopefully).

📦 Step 1: Unboxing Without Causing Chaos

First things first: open the box like an adult. Not like you’re unwrapping a Christmas present from a relative who gives confusing gifts.

Lay out the parts neatly and check them against the instruction manual (yes, read it—we promise it’s not IKEA-level cryptic).

You should have:

  • Seat base with CloudTech™ Pro foam

  • High-backrest with CoreSupport™ contouring

  • 4D Magnelite™ armrests (pre-installed for your convenience)

  • Wheelbase (star-shaped and drama-free)

  • Castor wheels

  • Gas lift and cover

  • Magnetic neckrest and lumbar pillow

  • Screws + Allen key (and probably one that will try to escape mid-assembly)

 

🛞 Step 2: Build the Base Like a Boss

Start with the wheelbase. Flip it over and press the castor wheels into each socket. If it’s stubborn, give it a firm push—but resist the urge to Hulk-smash it.

Insert the gas lift into the center hole and cover it with the sleek telescopic casing.

You’ve now built the bottom half of your throne. It may not look like much yet, but it’s coming together.

 

💺 Step 3: Flip the Seat and Add the Mechanism

Turn the seat base upside down and align the seat plate with the pre-drilled holes. Make sure the lever side is facing forward. This is not a "guess and hope for the best" moment.

Use the Allen key to screw it in tightly but not too tightly—you want secure, not stripped.

This piece controls your tilt tension, seat height, and recline lock, aka the magic that makes sitting feel like floating on CloudTech™ Pro foam.

 

🔩 Step 4: Secure the Backrest (CoreSupport™ Activated)

This is the part where you’ll wish you had three arms. Line up the backrest with the hinges on the side of the seat base. APOL recommends attaching it while the seat is standing upright—it helps with alignment.

Insert and tighten the bolts through each hinge. Then attach the hinge covers to hide the hardware and keep everything looking as sharp as your aim in Valorant.

Now your CoreSupport™ backrest is locked and loaded.

 

✋ Step 5: Place the Top on the Bottom

This is the satisfying part.

Lift your seat (now with backrest) and carefully lower it onto the gas lift. You don’t need screws for this step—just gravity and good aim.

Once it’s settled, give it a test spin. Feel free to whisper “I am powerful” as you rotate like a productivity tornado.

 

🧲 Step 6: Add the Magnetic Pillows (and Feel Fancy)

The neckrest and lumbar pillow on the Aevum Series aren’t your average “strap it and hope it stays” situation. These bad boys are magnetic, infused with cooling gel, and instantly snap into position.

Adjust their placement to where it feels best:

  • Neckrest should cradle your neck—not push your head forward like a brick.

  • Lumbar pillow should support the natural curve of your lower back—not feel like a sneaky cushion that slowly escapes during gaming.

 

🧘 Step 7: Fine-Tune Your Throne

Now that your chair is assembled, it’s time to personalize your setup:

  • Height: Your feet should be flat on the floor, knees at a 90° angle.

  • Tilt tension: Adjust to how floaty or firm you want your recline.

  • 4D armrests: Up/down, left/right, forward/back, and tilt—configure to match your desk or vibe.

  • Recline: 90° for productivity, 165° for power naps (or emotional gaming breakdowns).

 

🧼 Bonus: Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Aevum Fresh

You’ve invested in comfort—keep it clean:

  • Fabric version: Use APOL’s Premium Fabric Cleaner Kit to lift stains and dust without damaging fibers.

  • Vegan leather version: Wipe down with a microfiber cloth and condition occasionally with the Leather Cleaner Kit.

  • Wheels: Remove hair and debris every few weeks (trust us, they roll smoother after).

And yes—tighten your screws every few months. Chairs jiggle over time, just like we do.

 

🧠 Common Mistakes (So You Don’t Make Them)

Avoid these rookie moves:

  • Installing the tilt plate backwards (seriously, double check the arrows)

  • Forgetting hinge covers and wondering why it looks “off”

  • Overtightening screws and stripping the thread

  • Ignoring the manual and discovering regret in Step 3

Bonus tip: APOL’s official assembly video walks you through the process if you're a visual learner or just want to double-check your work.
