Can't get the chair to angle forward? Is there a way to adjust this? It sits in a reclining position and puts to much pressure on the back on my legs?

I use a chair cushion because I needed just a bit more height for use at my sewing table. It also helps with that "reclining" issue.

You can lock the backrest in the upright position by pushing in the lever on the right hand side while you're upright. Once its pushed in you will not be able to recline back in the chair unless you pull out the lever that you just pushed in.

I bought this chair for my husband and he loves it! It is a very comfortable chair. It has a lock mechanism if you want to lock in a certain position when tilting it backwards. Or you can leave it "unlocked" which makes it have like a spring rocking motion while sitting in it. As for tilting forward, not really sure what you are asking. If you want to tilt backwards, like I say it has a button to "lock" in place and you can also 'unlock" it to sit more forward. It does have about 4 or 5 adjustments for the lumbar support. My husband thinks it is a great chair for the price. I hope we have helped answer your questions.

The chair will lean back with a spring tensioner. You may also diable the recline feature by locking the lever under char.

If you are sitting in the chair, reach down to the right and pull the locking tilt control arm straight out to your right then lean back. It's either straight up and down or all the way back. There does not seem to be any setting in between.

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!

The chair will recline about 45 degrees back, it will not recline all the way so that it will be parallel to the ground.

Straddle it, lower your butt and sit. Lean back and take your weight off your legs. The chair should glide into a reclined position.

No... maybe the chair was changed at some point, but my chair is static and the seat back is actually angled slightly forward. Very uncomfortable! imo

Mine does tilt but it was VERY stiff to change angle. Just tried it again and was able to adjust but still very stiff

These are the highly adjustable Aeron chairs so they do tilt. You must lower the back lever on the left side of the chair and loosen the tension knob and the chair will recline back. I can have a Herman Miller Service person call you for help as well. BACKSTORE

I just purchased and received this chair and I'm having the same problem with the back of the chair slowly falling back flat when the footrest is up, I figured out that if I don't put the footrest up the back of the chair is locked in place and doesn't move...soooooo.....I went on Amazon and purchased an Ottoman footrest for those times when I want the back of the chair to stay put.

I have read in some instructions about recline, but have not figured out how to do it. Sorry.

Larry, I thought I would try it on our chair, which in love......I accidentally pulled the back into the higher position too!! Lol. I can't figure it out either! Lol. Now I will have to follow this to get my chair back to the right spot. This is all too funny!

Actually, the chair is ridiculously adjustable. You can definitely recline and tilt. I'm still learning what all the levers do!

Jose, unfortunately the lounge chair only reclines to and from 35-75 degree angles... let me know if that 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.

It does slant forward indeed. There isn't adjustments, but i'm sure you can find a way to somewhat force it. It's now a big problem for me.
