Do you have to recline in this chair, or does it adjust to an upright position?

It is not adjustable to recline the Ropes are what you have to adjust seating style with and then it is set to that

It is adjustable from a sitting to a reclining position. You just move the stoppers on the rope to angle the chair to the position that is comfortable for you.

The picture indicates upright position. It will recline back like a recliner. Very comfortable. My favorite piece of lounge furniture.

Mine doesn't recline at all. It only adjusts up and down which is easy to do but that is the only real movement.

It doesn't really recline but, I find it comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. I think it varies per person but this is one of the most comfortable office chairs I've ever had.

It reclines to about a 45 degree angle. It is very comfortable. It glides and is quiet and gentle. You cannot glide and recline at the same time.

Sorry, I am not sure. The chair does recline. For the money, it is a great chair.

I sit upright. It's similar to any chair. Very comfortable- in fact I will sit on it even when not biking!

The back raises and lowers independently from the footrest, so it can be as straight up or as reclined as you want. However, when using the chair to raise up into a standing position or lower into a seated position, once the footrest is completely down, the entire chair continues to rock forward. Once the footrest is completely up, the entire chair will continue to rock back. If you are using the back in the most upright position, the back may end up leaning forward (see the photo of it raising), but it will rock back into just the upright position when you sit down again. You can also leave the footrest down and use the chair like a regular chair rather than a recliner. The controls are easy to reach and easy to use.

There is a handle located at the top of the back of the chair that you squeeze which allows you to adjust the reclining feature.

It does not recline. Its not very comfortable - there is a bar directly under your legs.

Yes and yes. When you put it together you can adjust how much or little you would like it to recline.

No it does not recline and it's a piece of junk. I had to return TWO of them because they fell apart! Do Not Buy!

It has to be only up or down. It also doesn't stay in the reclining position unless you scoot back and lay down as far as you can.

When the footrest is up, the chair is then in a mode where it is able to recline to nearly horizontal. You don't have to recline, you can use the footrest in a standard seated position. If you extend the footrest up via the lever, then you may or may not recline. No, the footrest does not have multiple levels. I hope this helps...

The chair does not recline flat, but rather like an indoor recliner, with feet raised front of you. I found it to be very comfortable.
