I'm wondering if the folks who are criticizing the seat tilt forward aspect of this chair have not figured out how the tilt adjusts. Anyone?

There is no seat tilt forward aspect to the chair. The seat tilts back, but then it stops at a point (where it should) when you go forward again. So there is nothing to adjust there. Those who are saying that the seat is tilting forward may have gotten a defective chair. Mine is fine FWIW. The seat is either completely level or it leans back if I want it to.

Hi Amanda -- The seat can go up and down but does not tilt. It is possible to tilt the handlebars back (I just tried it), but I'm sure the manufacturer does not recommend this.

Larry, I thought I would try it on our chair, which in love......I accidentally pulled the back into the higher position too!! Lol. I can't figure it out either! Lol. Now I will have to follow this to get my chair back to the right spot. This is all too funny!

This chair tilts back as much as any of them .which is good for a big chair.me and my boys are all big /250 to 300+/weight lifters..we went through chairs...untill I got this one...was well worth the money

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.

Mine has icons imprinted on each of the levers as to what they do. The 2nd lever from the back adjust the tilt forward and back. Pull the 2nd lever from the back upward, then you have to actually sit in the chair and force back to get the chair to move. When it is in the desired position lock it in place with the lever by pushing it downward.

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

Yes, the chair is adjustable, but it doesn't recline all the way back. The maximum recline makes it so that you're sitting back just enough that you're leveled with the floor but not sliding off. You can tilt it forward in a decline if you are very active with work on your chair.

I was going to order this chair and stopped when I saw this post. I am 5'2", I never heard if a chair that doesn't adjust for someone my height. Is this true? Thanks

Hi, I have this chair and it really is awesome. Unfortunately it the seat does not tilt forward. : ( Other than that super comfy. I am 5' 4" and some arm rests do not come up high enough for me, these do. And they are adjustable. Hope this helps you choose a chair. Betty

No, ours doesn't tilt forward, but, it was difficult to put together and no one should jump on it!

Slightly forward. I watched a YouTube video on making my adjustments. Just google "how do I adjust my saddle stool?" And see if it comes up.

The tilt is around 180°, very adjustable. It stays in place. And yes, there is something like a knob to adjust.

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.

I don't know the exact angle of the downward tilt but if it's any help I tilt far enough downward that if the chair were not shaped the way it is I feel like you would slide forward and out. I'm a Dental Hygienist and it has been a great chair for what I need it for,especially for the price. There are better ones but the price is too high, up to 1000.00+

I suppose by adjusting back legs differently . the point is for ease of leaving chair . it is a gentle tilt barely noticed.
