How do I get this chair to sit straight up? It seems to always want to lean back much more than 90 degrees.

Hello, According to the manufacturer, push the lever inward so the chair will not lean back. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

The knob in front under chair adjusts the tension of the lean. the lever on the side that adjusts height also allows for tilt if you pull it out to the right. it leans pretty far, but u may have to loosen the knob to get the tension where u need it for easy recline. .

If you can, try taking it apart and starting over. If not, I think it's jammed and therefore broken. Mine work. But, I have had other chairs that just simply break/do not go up and down.. Good luck.

My chair reclines to about a 135 degree arc before locking in position but it definitely stays locked. Hope that helps.

You have to loosen the big round thing under the seat which controls the extent of the tilt. Then lift the lever, lean back, and you can feel the seat tilt up. Then press the lever to lock the tilt.

The chair is design with a straight back. However, the design of the actual seat will result in about a 3-5 degree slant when you set down. This is ideal for me. I hope this helps.

I think the seat is slanted too much for my hight. I'm 6'2". I did, just now, adjust the arm at the base of the seat to it's lowest point, this helps some. I will try this position to see if I can reduce the pressure on my shins and, try to find a position best suited for my posture/hight. Thanks for your input. I'll get back asap.

If you push it all the way forward, you'll feel it unlock, then pull it all the way back, should be greater than 90 degrees relative to the seat, probably about 120 degrees, call the position one. From there you can click forward 2 more positions. But when you are sitting ergonomically correctly in the chair, you shouldn't be needing the backrest.

I don't know about setting it to 90 degrees precisely, but there is an adjustable strap underneath the table. You control the angle of the table by letting out or taking in more slack. The more you let it out, the greater the tilt and vice versa. Does this help at all?

I followed the directions very carefully when putting it together but I cannot raise it. It is a pretty chair, but I am keeping it. Had to go buy another. When I could not get it to rise, I tried to take it apart to start over. Could not. Goood luck.

This chair does not lean back, it only has a tension tilt. You can only tilt back a few degrees.

I came looking for help for the same issue. Is the seat supposed to be able to tilt forward but not side to side? It makes sense that way, but I have to ask, lol. It makes sense to be able to tilt the sit to adjust to the way you're riding. For example, if you lean forward in a racing position, you may want to be able to tilt the seat down a little bit...

Did you purchase the ottoman along with the chair? We have that too, and I use it every time I'm in it and that probably helps prevent leaning. I'm not sure how to adjust it, sorry, not much help here!

You just push the top part of the chair forward and then you can just lay it back . As you come back up you can put in half way position or all way back up. Very easy but there is no direction.

I dont know what to tell you. My chair works fine. This is the best chair that ever bought! You might want to try reassembling it. My friend also bought bought this chair after I told him about it. He also loves it!

This is a constant problem. I have found that if I lean forward while pushing down the footrest it will close easier. I think it helps to redistribute the weight ( I only weigh 120 lbs.) I really like the chair and it was a great buy but this seems to be a real design flaw.

It'd pretty straight but the back has a slight indentation due to the padding on the chair. I think in an upholstered chair you won't find much any straighter; you'd need a wood chair for that kind of rigidity. My husband has two of these chairs and he finds them very comfortable and he loves them.
