Does it only recline back or can I tilt forward to have a conversation with someone in the same model of chair facing me?

It's fixed. You can lean forward easy enough by sitting up. The chair rocks forward but the back doesn't follow you.

Absolutely not. You can't lean forward Chair is slanted too far back to read or even watch TV. I love the looks too, but not very practical. Hope this helps. Good luck.

The chair does not tilt back...or if it does, I have yet to discover that feature. I should mention that it comes with very inadequate instructions. Even those for putting it together were pretty useless. Fortunately, it isn't all that difficult to work out anyway. And there is no other information included. So there might be a feature I missed. OTOH, it's a very comfortable and good looking chair and I'm pretty happy with it.

you can recline back or sit upright. The only complaint i have about this chair is that i ordered a blue one and got a red one instead. When i called they did give me a discount.

Yes, with your legs or your arms. It is easily used for both. And you can go forward or reverse, you can sit in any chair but not with the feet up in a recliner. You can adjust the tension you want to use, and go forward or reverse.

The seat can be adjusted back and forward to accommodate the length of your legs. It has one of those pin mechanisms that u pull up and then you can lengthen your foot reach. But the seat does not tilt back and I was a little disappointed it was not as reclined as I hoped. However that was just me being lazy girl lol and after a week I was used to it and thankful it was more seated upright because I do feel its the reason my joints don't hurt after a while. Just so u know I am new to excersizing and hate it so this is beginners advice. But happy this sits in front of my TV and now i am enjoying to exercise more.

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.

Yes, this chair does recline. It has just the one recline position and is adjusted with a simple leaver at the back. The whole chair also moves up and down with four different height settings.

I don't understand the question. You can recline in this chair. Or sit up straight.

Based on the answers of others, I will have to double check the recline feature. There is a way to tilt the seat back but it's ever so slightly. I wouldn't consider it a recline. I will have to check out the seat in the car again. I'm using it with the harness. Thanks for asking the question!

No, although it tilts back, it isn't a recliner. You can tilt maybe 45 degrees.

The chair moves in one motion, so no you cannot separately recline the back or feet.

yes, it reclines as far back as you want it, with the foot stool it is as flat as a bed, I enjoy the chair very much

Yes, but only a few degrees higher (10 or so). The seat itself tilts forward MUCH FURTHER than it does backward. Set back all the way the seat is almost flat, but the front is indeed slightly elevated, but only slightly.The previous model could adjust back further, but this is an updated version that replaced that one. Why this one has a shorter range of movement in the seat itself I do not know.

The chair doesn't recline, and the back has very little give, just the natural flex of the chair's frame. It's a comfortable chair, but with one major flaw, at least in mine: It tends to lower itself, often with no one in the seat. There must be a leaky valve in the piston. It's very annoying.[After reading the other answers, I wonder if there are two models of this chair: The adjusting knob on mine seems to do nothing at all. I've tried it tightened all the way, loosened all the way with no difference.]

The chair will recline to just a slight incline. I've bought the chair to take to the beach and take it often and it's a wonderful investment. The leg rest works easily and is very comfortable. I get asked often where I purchased this chair.

Yes but your expectations for "back as far upright as possible" and "front tilted down" may or may not be met. Guessing that with the seat tilted down as far as possible the back is still less than a 90 degree "as far upright as possible" position however it's comfortable and does keep the pressure off the back of legs if that's what you are looking for. My disappointment with this chair is the lack of height...anyone over about 5'6" may not find this chair's max height adequate.
