How comfortable is the chair if you lean backwards? Is there some degree of movement that allows the chair to tilt backwards?

Yes the chair does tilt. Its about the standard tilt you get from a office chair. The lever on the side locks the tilting feature.

Ours had No tilt control. We had bought two and returned the one we had not assembled. Nice leather and good looking chair but not comfy at all.

Hello Cristian, No this chair does not lean back. It supports your back and is very comfortable but doesn't lean back. I hope I have helped you in your decision.

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.

We haven't had an issue with it tilting. It's pretty substantial, for a shower chair, and seems secure when my mom uses it in my shower. I imagine if you sat on the front portion only, instead of squarely on the seat, it would tilt forward, just as any chair would.

Absolutely not. The seat tilts forward making you feel like you are going to slide right off. Also, I have a bad back and they were some of the worst chairs I've owned. They lasted here about two weeks and were then sent to Goodwill.

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.

I suppose by adjusting back legs differently . the point is for ease of leaving chair . it is a gentle tilt barely noticed.

The back does tilt, and can be locked by "pushing" the side bar in to the mounting of the chair, though there may still be about an inch you can tilt the chair back. Most office chairs are exactly the same.

Yes they do tilt back slightly--they are my favorite chairs because they are so comfortable. The chair backs are designed with that angle, and in my opinion that was the trickiest part of putting the chairs together (overall the chairs went together quite easily, and after a year I still love them and would buy them again in a heartbeat.)

The chair is comfortable and firm. The back height adjustment does not stay in place, so the back is always at it's lowest position. If this is ok, it is very comfortable. All the other positons such as tilt and seat height have locks to keep them from moving or "bleeding" position, but it is strange that the back does not and is the one position that really needs to be locked in place.

It does lean back but is not a recliner. It is a comfortable chair and perfect for a small office space.

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

It does tilt forward, but you will keep sliding out of the chair in that case. Lumbar support is adjustable. The chair is rather user-friendly.

The chair doesn't recline, and the back has very little give, just the natural flex of the chair's frame. It's a comfortable chair, but with one major flaw, at least in mine: It tends to lower itself, often with no one in the seat. There must be a leaky valve in the piston. It's very annoying.[After reading the other answers, I wonder if there are two models of this chair: The adjusting knob on mine seems to do nothing at all. I've tried it tightened all the way, loosened all the way with no difference.]

It tilts farther than I need it to when adjusted to fully tilt. I cannot say exactly how far, but I do not have a problem with the adjustment or the amount of tilt. The biggest problem with the chair is that it is a little narrow for some people. The armrests touch your thighs if you are large.

I have noticed a very very slight tilt. It's only noticeable if I pull my feet off the ground and lean the chair all the way back. If I do that it will start to spin very slowly. I figured that it was due to the fact that I lean it pretty heavy anyways and I am 6'4" and 350lbs, so not a little person. Other than that the padding and stitching and everything else is still in fantastic shape. I have only had it for 6 months but I spend probably 12+ hours a day in it.
