How to Push in a Chair

Practice pushing in your chair when you stand up, so walkways stay clear at school, work, and home.

How to Push in a Chair: step-by-step guide

Pushing in a chair takes three seconds and keeps the room easy to walk through. Watch the video, then practice.

  1. Stand up and step to the side of the chair.

  2. Put both hands on the back of the chair.

  3. Lift slightly and slide the chair forward until it touches the table.

  4. Check that the chair is straight and out of the walkway.

  5. Push in a second chair if someone nearby needs help.

See it first. Go with confidence.

Hi, I'm Iris! Tell me what you're looking for: a place to preview (like "Park Library" or "a dentist office"), a specific city (like "Lansing, MI" or "Petoskey, MI"), or a how-to video (like "tying shoes" or "self-checkout"), and I'll find it for you.

Or browse all tours or the video library.
