I read this chair has adjustable tilt control/tension. How do you adjust it? Mine is locked straight up. It is a nice chair, and very comfortable.

Obviously pulling the handle up with raise & lower. To operate the tilt, pull the handle straight out horizontally. This will allow you to rock it. Bring the seat back to an upright position, push the handle back in horizontally and it will lock. Hopefully this helps you!

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.

If you mean the overall height of the seat the front paddle adjusts this. When you pull the front paddle up, if you are sitting on the chair it will lower, if you are out of the chair it will raise. If you mean the tilt of the seat then the middle paddle locks/unlocks the seat tilt, and there is a tension adjustment under the seat. The rear paddle locks and unlocks the recline of the seat back.

Yes, the chair is adjustable, but it doesn't recline all the way back. The maximum recline makes it so that you're sitting back just enough that you're leveled with the floor but not sliding off. You can tilt it forward in a decline if you are very active with work on your chair.

I'm surprised no one has actually figured this out yet and written this tip to help others figure out the tilt. You know how you pull on the handle to make the chair go up and down (the pneumatic lift)? Well, you just have to pull that bar out for tilt, and push it in for lock position. The knob is only for tension. Pull out the bar!

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

Mine works ok. I simply lift the lever, the seat can then tilt easily. Then, I press the lever back down the lock position.

The seat adjusts up and down like a regular office chair. It's a nice chair but I bought 2 and 1 of them won't stay up. Should have sent it back but it was too much of a hassle.

in the directions the tilt tention knob is saying to put it on the wrong way my boyfriend said.. he removed it and put it on in the opposite direction. It tilts back very far.. so far its a nice comfortable chair.. He spends at least 7 hours of his day in a chair.. So im sure he'll let me know if he likes it. :)

Mine does tilt but it was VERY stiff to change angle. Just tried it again and was able to adjust but still very stiff

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 NewfPyr! The seat height adjusts from 20 7/8" to 23 7/8" and the chair will tilt but not in a rocking motion. I hope this helps. Thank you for choosing OfficeMax!

Yes, the chair is adjustable, but in an up/down motion rather than forward/back. The adjustment alternates the pressure from your hips/tailbone to your knees. I found that adjusting it to the extreme puts too much pressure on the knee and so mine is set to a middle position, allowing me to both sit and kneel at the same time. If you have sensitive knees, you may need to add additional cushion to the knee pad as it is quite thin.

Hi JohnOther than a tension adjustment the chair is not adjustable. The seat height is 19.5 inches.

there is a stick level on the rt side of the chair. when u lift the level it up, the chair will go higher as u wanted it be. when lower the sit down, make sure u sit on it and then pull the level up to go down. any question let me know ok.

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.

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.
