why doesn't my chair tilt at all? The chair hasn't tilt since I received it. Thought it was natural, but it seems not! Is it a faulty one??

These are the highly adjustable Aeron chairs so they do tilt. You must lower the back lever on the left side of the chair and loosen the tension knob and the chair will recline back. I can have a Herman Miller Service person call you for help as well. BACKSTORE

I've never experienced this. I just tried to tilt it, but couldn't. We've taken it on pretty steep hills, too.

Did you take the black thing off the base? We didn't take that off before putting the top on and the chair would not raise or lower. We had to use plyers to get the black thing on the top of the base off, but once it was off and the top was on the chair does raise and lower. Good luck!

The base itself does not tilt. However, you could make it tilt by changing the surface level of the ground underneath the foot pads.

I was surprised mine leaned back. Usually these simple computer chairs don't do that. It doesn't lean back to the point I fall though. Check knob underneath and turn one way, lean back, then turn the other way and lean back. If that doesn't fix it, retighten all screws with allen wrench. Still doesn't work then something is faulty.

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.

I have not had any trouble like that with mine, if it fits tight to the transom it cannot tilt. Good luck. JHC

Yes the chair does tilt. Its about the standard tilt you get from a office chair. The lever on the side locks the tilting feature.

In my opinion, the answer to your question is "No". If I try to tilt it, the feet at the front just raise. But, I will say it is a wonderfully comfortable chair and that was not important to me. Good luck deciding..........bfr

It is relative to your position. If you sit the base still over a table, it will tilt to the left. It only will go from 90 (straight) to 45 degrees (to the left). If you grab it in the air, and loosen the base, the base will tilt to the right. Hope that helps.

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

Yes, this chair has tilt! I'm reclining in mine as I type. There is a knob you turn underneath the chair to the desired tilt you want. There is a lever also underneath and to the side that you pull out for tilt ... and push back in for stationary non tilt.

Lol!!!! I just found out. Been searching the internet with same problem. I'm usually good with these things so I was quite frustrated not being able to figure it out, almost broke the darn thing trying to use a small screwdriver as someone had suggested. Anyway the answer is.... (drumroll please) It is AUTO-tilt; so once its been completely opened, continuing to crank the mechanism (I know scary, I was worried I'd break it) actually starts working the tilt mechanism!

There is no way for it to tilt. Sits flat, only adjustment is the height. Just a note, it is fairly comfortable for a hard seat.

Mine doesn't slant for some reason and I don't see that it is adjustable. I keep looking under there and I can't see it would ever move.Last one I had annoyed me b/c it slanted and wiggled. Love that this one is sturdy and straight. Have the company send a new one! Yours might be defective.

No, the back does not tilt by its' self. The seat and back do tilt back together.

Call the company, it may still be under warranty and they can send you a new chair. Otherwise they should at least offer a solution to the problem. Glad you are using your chair. Sorry you are having problems , i hope this helps out. Find your paper work and call them. Good luck.
