Does the chair's tilting mechanism work? I've got one but the tilting handle does nothing and it nearly flip backward when I lean back. Scary.

Mine doesn't tilt back easily either. It's very stiff. It isn't made very well.

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

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. My chair seems to work fine. Wish I had a suggestion for you.

There is a T bolt (bolt with plastic wing type head easy to turn) that comes with the unit to lock the tilting position. I just adjusted my screen earlier today, so it's there and it works. Not a whole lot of range for tilting though, maybe 30 degree up and down? Hope this helps.

I have not had that problem and it does not appear that, that will be issue. I do have one issue with rolling. The locks on the wheels often slip down and lock themselves, causing the chair not to roll properly (as it should being locked). I just unlock them. It happens once or so a day. It doesn't really bother me.

My chair doesn't roll when I lean back. The mat is not smooth. It has a stippled finish. However, I'm on a very flat ceramic tile surface.

The chair is able to lean back but keep in mind that this chair is very inexpensive, and you get what you pay for. The leaning mechanism is put together by a spring and a lever with only two settings, "On" or "Off". The chair will always be returned to its default upright state due to the spring mechanism so if you want to lean back, you'll need to utilize some muscle.

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.

If you can, try taking it apart and starting over. If not, I think it's jammed and therefore broken. Mine work. But, I have had other chairs that just simply break/do not go up and down.. Good luck.

Hi Rick...I bought the same chair and had the exact same thing happen while assembling it (the last step was to insert the back into the base). One side clicked into place, the other side slipped in...but no click. I examined it, wiggled it, eventually operated it from front to back and it seemed to be solidly connected...no wiggles, no wobbles. So I accepted it as fully assembled. I've been using it without any problems for about a month now...and I love it. So does my dog...he can't wait for me to get into it. The reclining mechanism is still a little stiff, but I think it will get a bit smoother in time. I think you are probably good to go, particularly if there is no wobble or looseness in the back. That second insert was just very smooth...I hope. Don

Mine is definitely tilting, and it has gotten progressively worse over time. I feel like I'd fall out of the chair if the armrest weren't there. I think mine had a defect when it was new, but it was minor then and I was too lazy to return. In hindsight, I wish I had.

The seat actually tilts. The seat and the backrest are fixed in relation to each other. When you lean back, the backrest goes back and the seat part tilts up to stay with it.

In addition to pulling the lever out, there's a knob under the chair which adjusts "tilt tension" which is pre-set to be very tight. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to loosen it - that should make it easier to tilt.

Yes it does tilt back. We returned the walker because we did not feel it was safe.

Yes, not only that, but the central pivot has gotten damaged or loose, and the chair lists from side to side and the tilt lock is no longer aligned, and doesn't engage. For the money, I will buy a chair from anothercompany, when I can afford it. I regret my previos good review= If I'd known then etc!

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.
