Does this chair's back tilt? If so are you able to lock it to a firm upright position?

The chair can lock upright or tilt back maybe 15-20 degrees if you unlock the recline lever under the seat by pulling it outwards

The back does tilt, and can be locked by "pushing" the side bar in to the mounting of the chair, though there may still be about an inch you can tilt the chair back. Most office chairs are exactly the same.

It tilts back if you lean back. It's not a full recline. The bar locks it upright if you don't like the feature.

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.

No, it does not lock. You can adjust the height setting to make it easier to balance your weight. I would imagine it would be quite dangerous to have a locking position.

The lever locks the back and seat in the upright position. Pulling out the lever about an inch allows the back and seat to tilt in a 2 to 1 ratio (the back tilts twice as much as the seat) as you lean back. I find this design to be very comfortable and supportive.

Hello, it Does Not lock in place, but it does not constantly move either unless you do it. I Do still recommend this chair for its' comfortability factor and all around nice look to it.

No, there is not a lock but the chair is quite heavy and requires some amount of force to swivel. You cannot sit and swirl around freely. The chairs are very substantial and sturdy.

No. The only movement there is, is the seat height adjustment. I'm sitting in it now and tried to tilt it back and it's comfortably rigid. Hope this helps!

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

it's not exactly a rocking chair, but it does have the ability to tilt back. or it can be locked upright.

The "tilt-lock" feature is easy to use, however the lock part of it will fix the chair into a customizable position. This means if you like a certain degree in fixed seating, this chair won't "save" it per se, but you can just readjust it to your liking. It may be a tad tedious but it is definitely not a difficult thing to do.

it does have locks but even without that, this won't roll off. its really a stable chair. I have 2 of them which is being used by my 2 sons who are very high energy as well.

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

Yes it does leans back. For a chair that is supposed to be for someone heavier, it is really loosey goosey and I have had casters break in less than a year.

Yes, it does have a tilt feature. Also, you can adjust the tension on the tilt feature. It ranges between easily tilting to not tilting at all.

It does not lock into position and is only balanced by the weights. I took another look at it and you may be able to rig something up to lock it but "out of the box" so to speak it does not lock.

You can lock it into place or you can release the latch and lean back - If you are considering buying this chair, know that the wheels break - I bought two of the chairs and the wheels broke on both. Just order yourself a good set of replacement wheels....not a big issue. The chair is very nice and has held up well. I have one of home and office and get compliments almost daily. I hope this helps.
