A common complaint is that the reclining tension is too stiff. Does it loosen up over time? Is it too tight to stay leaned back?

Well it is as stiff or soft as you want, you can adjust it buy turning a dial or wheel handle at the front, that sett's the spring tension.

Any stiffness problems in the spring is overshadowed by the fact that I can sit in this chair for 10+ hours of a day with little or no problem. The tension can be set using a knob on the bottom like most chairs. I'm 180 pounds and can get it to lean back and stay back with the right posture.

well i have no problem, ! I guess those folks are to light or where turning it the wrong way. Remember new stuff needs time to break in also.

Hi, I have this recliner. I have had it for a couple of months. My dog has not tried to bite it, so I don't know if it would stand up to that. Fot ghe first month I had a sheet over it as I was sleeping in it after having surgery. It it very comfortable. If you have long legs it may be too short when you have your legs out over the leg rest. It is not a heavy chair, so if you recline too much you may have a problem. I love my chair, and my height is 5 foot 2 inches and I weight 136lbs.

There is a knob that controls the rate and ease of recline. You can also pull the seat height handle out for back tilting; you need to push it back in to lock the position.

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.

When it is new it's a bit stiff, as you use it more it does tend to dip a bit but that is why they give you longer hooks for when it's new and then you can go without them to tighten it back up, I am about 190lb and it has never dipped to the point I feel like I am on the ground. It is a bit stiffer then a rope hammock but once you get use to that it's very comfortable. I even gave my rope hammock away! I have had mine for over a year and have had NO issues with it. It gets the most use in the Spring and fall but with the nice canopy I have even used it a bit in the summer.

1. No assembly was required that I can recall. If anything, it would only have been sliding the backs into place. No sweat.2. Yes, I would call it that. The back doesn't go any further back when you recline. The seats and footrests slide forward.3. When fully reclined, it isn't quite fully horizontal, but it comes reasonably close to it. It's quite comfortable.

I find that it's a bit firm and intense to lie flat on it. I find it most comfortable to be reclined about 45 degrees.

I own a "ball chair" that does this. I bought one with a back which I don't like b/c I lean back too often defeating my good posture.

I weigh 345. The tilt tension is adjustable, setting how much pressure for the tilt back when I recline. It is firm and comfortable. If you have the tilt locked in the upright position it will not pop loose and tilt back which has been an issue for me with cheap chairs. Once tilted back and reclined it's very sturdy. I recline back that way and fall asleep in this thing way too often! You cannot loose with this chair.

I have used it daily for over a month and it stays firm, not sagging yet. I take it down each morning and put it up each night. Don't like setting it up, however, it flops around on me until I get it up as the legs don't lock.

It doesn't recline, but it does flex a bit when you lean back. So it's not rigid.

Not really, my granddaughter has really used it a lot. We got an extra pad to put under it because the very middle has no padding. But it's really made for reclining.

The seat isn't that bad but the wood digs into my back after a while. If you normally sit up straight it would not be a problem but reclining for any period of time may hurt. Hope that helps.

It barely reclines. Maybe an inch or so. Make sure you are centered in chair when sitting. Iv leaned to far forward and whole chair slipped out from under me on several occasions.

I bought this recliner not long ago and we don't use it much, so the fabric has remained like new. I have another complain which is that this recliner is not confortable at all, and if I had known, I would have never bought it. I know that was not your question but, I include it anyway.

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.

I never had a problem with the recline, we recline it every day and the materials have stood "the test of time"
