How far back can it lean (tilt)? My current chair supports 350lbs but doesn't lean back very far, I didn't know if this is common for 350+ chairs?

Ours tilts back to about a 55 degree angle. Enough to put your feet up if you want to.

A rough measurement is 30 degree tilt. It is more if I put my feet up and tilt all the way back, but that's not a normal sitting range and measures in at about 40 degree tilt. This is a very comfortable chair!

My chair does not back very far as well. I'm very disappointed in the comfort of this chair. I'm 6-1 I feel like I'm sliding off the front of the chair and this chair is so much higher than my old chair. I feel like sitting way too high above the desk. I'm going to buy a new chair and give this one away.

This chair tilts back as much as any of them .which is good for a big chair.me and my boys are all big /250 to 300+/weight lifters..we went through chairs...untill I got this one...was well worth the money

Yes it does leans back. For a chair that is supposed to be for someone heavier, it is really loosey goosey and I have had casters break in less than a year.

Yes, this chair has tilt! I'm reclining in mine as I type. There is a knob you turn underneath the chair to the desired tilt you want. There is a lever also underneath and to the side that you pull out for tilt ... and push back in for stationary non tilt.

I'm close to 200 pounds and there's no problem using this chair. If you are close to 300 pounds it may not work well for you.

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.

I have owned the chair for about 2 years. It is very sturdy, my husband weighs 250 and it holds him easily and is comfortable for him. I wouldn't imagine you would want to have much more than 300 lbs though.

I've noticed the butt of the chair is kinda small ... will not fit a 300lbs person but it's plenty sturdy.... 250 should be good.....it does swivel also keep that in mind....

Hello Robert Ali! This chair will support up to 350 lbs. I hope this helps. Thank you for choosing OfficeMax!

I actually exceed the 350 limit for this chair. I am 6'6", 375lbs. I used this chair with no problems at all for 2 years. After 2 years, the lift started doing that slow sinking as you sit in it. It will no longer stay lifted for me - but 2 years at over the weight capacity for this chair, I say that is a pretty good chair.

good question as i was just pondering that this past wkend. instructions don't really state that i recall, i would put a weight limit of say 2 adults, perhpas 400 lbs? chair looks very sturdy though and should have no problem supporting even a few more lbs than 400!

mine didnt tilt like may of my other chairs have. im a heavy guy. mine did break just short of 2 years, but honestly, i think that was from the threshhold i was rolling over the last 3 months i had it. the leather is fake and peeled after about a year. i bought another chair from a fat man store that was wider, and ive had that for about 3 months and is trashed already.... im going to buy another one of these, as its lasted longer than other chairs ive paid much more for, and if it wasnt for the threshhold, id probably still be using it.

Says 250 weight capacity on the box. I weigh 280 and so far no problem. As long as the screws are in tight, the chair should be fine. If you're over 250 I wouldn't recommend leaning back in it too much. As of now, I'm on a diet.

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..

According to the isokinetics web site, the limit appears to be 300 lbs. I'm 225 and the only issue for me was that the back support will bend if you lean back hard. But the idea is to stay straight up anyway.

Unfortunately you can't make the chair lean back without leaning back with your body. But the chair has an adjustment knob to make it easier to lean back or to lock it in a stationary position. But that position is upright and not back.

I was over 450 when I bought The Lane Comfort King Rocker and it has been a great chair. I had over a dozen other named chairs that all broke down and cost over a thousand dollars each because these chairs were not built for more then 350 pounds. JT

Amazon puts the weight limit at 350lb but the manufacturer's website states it at 400lb. I am 6'0 220lbs. I work from home, so I am in this chair 12 to 16 hours a day. The cylinder started to leak at 3 months. Base plate started to crack after 5 months. You can squeeze a little more life out of the base plate and cylinder if you never lock the chair so you can't lean back.I used to burn thru 1 to 2 of the cheap chairs a year. Do yourself a favor and spend the money and buy a "24 Hour Chair". They usually cost around $400-$600. Some "24 Hour chairs" even come with a 5 to 10 year warranty.
