When this chair is in the vertical locked position, is the chair back perpendicular to the seat? Any slouch effect in lower back?

It is a very comfortable chair with no slouch in the seat back . Yes the chair back is perpendicular to the seat.

Manish, our chair came without a manual and put together backwards by the manufacturer. The tilt mechanism did not work initially because of this defect. Once we figured it out and were able to pull it all apart and put back together, the chair tilts correctly toward the back when leaning in the chair.

You just lean back with a little bit more pressure than you would leaning against it normally, and it moves the way it should. The back goes back while the front of the seat comes up a bit too (very comfy for putting your feet on your desk if you feel like it). There is also a lever on the side that will lock that function, preventing you from being able to lean back in the chair.

Yes, it will lean back. It has three positions you can lock it in (full upright/approx 15 degrees/approx 30 degrees) or leave it unlocked and use the spring tensioner for support.. The tension on the seat-back mechanism is enough to give some support and will also assist you when you wish to return to full upright. The locking mechanism is easily accessed and works well. At 230 lbs and 6ft tall I am able to use this chair with confidence.

Hey Ryno, the chair does lean (a pretty stiff lean unlike some floppy office task chairs), and can lock to prevent lean. It cannot, at least as far as I can tell, lock at any particular lean point.Hope that helps! All aside though, its been 6 months or so since purchase and I still love mine... very nice look/feel for the price!

Sorry about that. Mine also seems to stay "locked" only in the semi-reclined position. But I never fully recline it as I don't want that position. I use it for watching tv only. I do feel that the price and looks are worth every penny. I guess it depends on what one purchases it for. We purchased two and love them. We have limited space, needed the orange color, and wanted something attractive. They aren't over-sized, homely, and dowdy looking like most recliners.

The chair swivels 360 degrees. It does not return to the original position. Hope this helps.

You cannot hold the tilt on this chair. You can either lock the tilt upright by pushing in the lever under the seat or pull out the lever and the tilt will adjust according to the pushback from your back. Remember you cannot lock the tilt. It will sit upright the minute you release the pressure from your back.

The entire chair reclines. The back on this particular chair in locked in one position. I don't find it a problem though... I think it is comfortable.

no the back does not move up and down, It has a minimal tilt feature for the back but barley noticeable. great chair !

The back-rest leans backward, but the seat portion does not lean back with the back-rest. There are three basic controls on the chair. One raises or lowers the height, another locks/unlocks the seat-back for leaning, and another allows the seat portion to adjust forward/backward. The arm-rests also can be adjusted up or down.

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.

The seat does not tilt forward or backwards. The backrest does tilt backwards.

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.

Yes the chair tilts back. But is very stiff to do so. But with time seems to loosen up. It also has a twist knob so that you can adjust the level of tightness in the tilt. Hope this helps.

You can lean back in the chair. However, the chair does not have any back support other than a layer of cardboard. So, when you lean back the back of the chair will bend.

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. I bought this chair for my husband and he loves it! It is a very comfortable chair.
