The footrest looks like it's just inches below the seat. How does that work?

The foot rest is at the top of the non moveable frame. The seat is on the adjusting /moveable side of framework. So if your adjusted way down it will only be around 8" or so from the bottom of the seat. But for me I have it at the highest (or close to it ) and there's probably around 1.5' of distance. I'm 5'11" and still sit down to get into seat,and which ever leg you keep on pegs is not perfect but it works well ...or well enough. It's an inexpensive alternative

The seat is in the lowest posible position in that photo. You'd never use it that way, but I guess you'd just put your feet on the floor if you really wanted to sit that low. The stool is comfortable and the footrest is in a good position. I'm 6'2" and I'm comfortable on it. I usually have one foot on the ground and the other on the footrest so I can rest the guitar on one knee, if that makes sense. I never bother to put the backrest on because I always lean forward when I play.

Because the seat post has a spring in it, you can't lower it quite all the way down as you can on a non-shock-absorber seat post. I found I didn't like the shock-absorber seat post, so I took it apart and pulled the spring out. This let me lower the seat another inch or so down, which set it right at the height that was perfect for my short legs ;)

Our chair fits under with several inches to spare. If I had any complaint, it is that the chair is too LOW. For the price it is well made however.

In the reclining position, the footrest is 19" off the ground. It's hard to answer whether there is an upward or downward leg angle because there are both. It starts with a slight upward angle from the thighs to the knees, and then there's a slight downward angle from the knees to the feet.(note, one of the pictures shows the chair in the reclining position).

It turns into something similar.. The backrest. Goes all the way down... The footrest goes up and with the optional muff covers feet.. Well padded too

The round bar that is located under the seat cushion is the lever that you use to adjust the height. Hope that helps.

The small space under the pillow top. This stool doesn't work. I stepped on it once and it broke and my husband said he might be able to put new legs on it. I had one years ago and it worked fine, this one is a piece of junk of you want to step on put your feet on it.

Its very simple. There is a long loop that hooks over the headrest. The small loop can be adjusted to make the seat level and it has a clip for easier removal

I have not had occasion to adjust the foot rest. I haven't found a mechanism for adjusting the length.

The only adjustment is the length of the footrest from knee to bottom of the foot. They do not elevate.

According to the instructions when installed rear facing the feet are flipped under the seat which places it in the "reclined" position. When facing forward the feet are flipped down which positions the seat more upright.

There is a handle underneath the seat that raises and lowers seat. Try sitting on it when adjusting

I can't get the fitting foot ring to slide down the post. I tried WD 40 and it still won't go past a few inches. In the illustration it is about halfway between the seat bottom and the base. What should I do?

It appears that your feet are level with you heart when it is fully reclined. Yes, it has a lock (under the armrests) to keep it in position!

The seat is the same height from the ground regardless of setting. You slide the seat backwards/forward to adjust for your height.

I bought these for my parents so I'm not able to check to be exactly sure but I believe you pull that black level on the side by the armrest to release the footrest and then push back. Then if I recall to release the footrest you pull the lever again and push down with your legs. Wasn't difficult at all. I hope that helps!

The front measurement is shorter. It goes up to the seat cushion and then slopes back as in the picture.
