I know chair leans back, but what I want to know is, does it stay back easily? (Very loose tilt?) I like to float without effort in recline.

It's tough at first but after a few days it tilts back with ease. I've been very pleased with the chair.

Manette, It's a great chair for the price, but no, it does not remain back easily.

Not really it will push you back upright unless you keep your weight on the back of the chair or hold yourself back with your feet.

Hello, We do apologize, the chair does recline but it does not lay flat. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

It can be set to completely upright or to lean back. I prefer the straight backed chair, so I have it completely upright. There is lumbar support, which I need for my lower back and it is ideal.

not so much rock as allow you to lean back and recline a little. I find it feels stiff so you feel safe reclining but I also find myself periodically catching myself from falling (although i will not) i guess it happens on most reclining chairs.

It rocks backwards, but there's not a way to lock it into a reclining position. You may, however, lock it into its upright position if yours has a tilt-limiter.

If you mean, "can it be set so it does not lean back at all." yes. It has a locking mechanism that can be engaged to prevent the chair from leaning back.

I weigh 285 and it seems to handle me just fine. The chair does tip forward when I have it fully reclined and lean forward to grab something. This is not a problem though if you put the chair back in the upright position. I am happy with the chair and would buy it again so far. I did not look to see what the chair was made out of but it seems solid and my backrest is still tight. If you are concerned, get the 5 year, everything covered, insurance upon purchase. Then if it falls apart on you, file the insurance claim and they will fix or replace it.

You just lean back with a little bit more pressure than you would leaning against it normally, and it moves the way it should. The back goes back while the front of the seat comes up a bit too (very comfy for putting your feet on your desk if you feel like it). There is also a lever on the side that will lock that function, preventing you from being able to lean back in the chair.

This chair is in the upright position. It will fully recline and be secure. I have two myself.

In this type of seat, it's your own body weight that is keeping the back up, as long as the straps don't break. It's not really supportive like a regular chair, but it's enough that you can relax and not have to hold yourself up.

When you're sitting in the chair and lean back the back of the chair feels firm. There is a very slight "give", MAYBE about 1/2 inch or so, just enough to where it's comfortable and not to where you feel like you're leaning against a concrete wall. It's not super wobbly or anything like that.

Hey Ryno, the chair does lean (a pretty stiff lean unlike some floppy office task chairs), and can lock to prevent lean. It cannot, at least as far as I can tell, lock at any particular lean point. Hope that helps! All aside though, its been 6 months or so since purchase and I still love mine... very nice look/feel for the price!

It still swivels left and right once it's reclined. It's a great chair, bigger than I expected, and no complaints other than it makes noise when you get up from the seat from the cushion repositioning. But it's a minor nitpicky thing on my behalf.

It doesn't go flat, it goes pretty far into a recline. The canopy can stay completely down (fits behind the chair back) and ratchets up in increments from almost vertical to down pretty low over the chair. It's a great chair, extremely comfortable in many settings.

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.

I purchased this chair for a co-worker who is under 300#. I weigh about the same as you...and I tried it out. It felt comfortable, AFTER the warehouse staff made some adjustments. My main concern would be the "tilt" feature. It kept feeling like the chair was slanting forward and going to dump me out in the floor...not a good feeling! I purchased a chair by the same company (also from Amazon) that was made for up to 500 lbs. This has been a great chair for me. I have not had any problems with it. It feels really secure.
