Does the seat actually tilt or does just the backrest lean back while the seat stays flat? Also if it does stay flat, is the seat angle adjustable?

The seat and backrest move as one. So the whole thing tilts back, not just the backrest.

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.

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.

No, the seat is in a fixed position. Only the long back panel adjusts up and down at different angles to the seat.

it tilts only forward...if back tilting is required it can only be achieved by tilting the back piece but note the head rest will not go further back than the back of the chair.additional information: this chair is used by my wife (broken spine in 3 vertebrae with screws, graft and lateral retention plates) and she has found it very comfortable since we received it. the first criteria for our purchase was her comfort and the second value-money relationship...both were achieved (we had very close competitor in a chair from costco but i'm a very big fan of amazon...)

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.

yes and no. kind of hard to explain, but it has an adjustment, but what happens is the back moves also. so you can adjust the seat at an angle but very little, to no adjustment, its more for the back than the seat angle. The back moves with it as one. so it kind of defeats the pourpose. i find it not very good.

I don't know if it adjusts. I hated it, and gave it away.The seat tilts forward and is very uncomfortable.It is better suited for a child.

The seat does recline a little bit. There is a lever below the front part of the seat that allows you to tilt the entire seat back (cannot tilt just the back rest).

I have noticed a very very slight tilt. It's only noticeable if I pull my feet off the ground and lean the chair all the way back. If I do that it will start to spin very slowly. I figured that it was due to the fact that I lean it pretty heavy anyways and I am 6'4" and 350lbs, so not a little person. Other than that the padding and stitching and everything else is still in fantastic shape. I have only had it for 6 months but I spend probably 12+ hours a day in it.

It has a lot of tilt. From pretty much straight vertically, to tilting backwards more than completely horizontally. It has a knob you adjust each time and it stays in place. We've used it for about 2 months daily by a 7- and a 5-year old. Works great.

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

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

The legs adjust to any angle out to 90 degrees the back rest adjusts to accommodate most models from 7" to 10" but there are little notches that hold the back rest in place. It is very versatile.

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.

To restate as one of the other responders said, the seat moves with the back of the chair, there is no separated mechanism to adjust the seat angle. Albeit, it is a great chair for the $$$

I weigh 345. The tilt tension is adjustable, setting how much pressure for the tilt back when I recline. It is firm and comfortable. If you have the tilt locked in the upright position it will not pop loose and tilt back which has been an issue for me with cheap chairs. Once tilted back and reclined it's very sturdy. I recline back that way and fall asleep in this thing way too often! You cannot loose with this chair.

There is no backrest that is more adjustable than this. The distance from the handlebars to the backrest has several adjustments. The angle is quite adjustable. The height has a little adjustment, not much. Basically, it sits on top of your seat, which is all you need.
