I have found out that the chair tilts back a bit. How do I keep it at a tilt back position?

Unfortunately you can't make the chair lean back without leaning back with your body. But the chair has an adjustment knob to make it easier to lean back or to lock it in a stationary position. But that position is upright and not back.

Did you purchase the ottoman along with the chair? We have that too, and I use it every time I'm in it and that probably helps prevent leaning. I'm not sure how to adjust it, sorry, not much help here!

Entire chair tips back. First time last night; stiff action which is indicative of longer lasting - more room to go slack over time

I have trouble getting the chair in reclining position and back down I thought it was stiff because it was new. Is there something anyone can do ??

The tilt mechanism can sometimes be stuck, if you examine the bar that goes into the "pneumatic pump area", you'll see it crosses over to the left side to lock the seat... If it isn't engaging, try some WD-40 or tilt chair forward and try in a slightly forward tilt position, and it should engage

There is a screw built into the chair that I personally keep loose to make it swivel. But if you tighten it then it stays pretty still

There are two adjustments bolts at the base of the tilt. Adjust the one on the left until you get a true 45 degree.

You have to loosen the big round thing under the seat which controls the extent of the tilt. Then lift the lever, lean back, and you can feel the seat tilt up. Then press the lever to lock the tilt.

The chair will recline about 45 degrees back, it will not recline all the way so that it will be parallel to the ground.

I think this depends on the person. You should be easily maintaining a good curvature on your lower spine while sitting on your sit bones. You can find this natural spine position by loosening the tilt mechanism and rocking your hips back and forth while sitting on the chair. Once you establish a natural position, tighten the tilt screw and set your tilt position. Feel free to experiment, without a certified ergonomics person observing you, it is impossible to suggest the right position for your body.

My recliner actually was in a constant tilted position. When I would rock, I literally felt like I was falling completely backwards. So in my opinion, yes it reclines way too much. We trashed it after just two months.

My chair doesn't roll when I lean back. The mat is not smooth. It has a stippled finish. However, I'm on a very flat ceramic tile surface.

On the right side, underneath the seat is a lever. This lever controls the height of the chair and also locks out the tilt feature if it is pushed inward toward the user. Pull it out (ie away from you) and this should fix the problem. If it does not, then there is something mechanically wrong with your product

I bought this chair for my husband and he loves it! It is a very comfortable chair. It has a lock mechanism if you want to lock in a certain position when tilting it backwards. Or you can leave it "unlocked" which makes it have like a spring rocking motion while sitting in it. As for tilting forward, not really sure what you are asking. If you want to tilt backwards, like I say it has a button to "lock" in place and you can also 'unlock" it to sit more forward. It does have about 4 or 5 adjustments for the lumbar support. My husband thinks it is a great chair for the price. I hope we have helped answer your questions.

We are satisfied with the chair in all respects except that it is showing some wear on the edges of the back. Maybe my husband is running into the edge of the desk & causing friction to the material. Don't notice any tilting.

It's like a lawn chair....fold it forward and you'll hear the "clicks"....it should lie flat then. If you can't get it to stay in a chair position after that, lift it slightly in the middle and it kind of resets.
