How do I adjust the back so it is at a comfortable angle? I just finished assembling the chair, but the back is straight up and down, so it'd very uncomfortable! Please advise! :)

If you are sitting in the chair, reach down to the right and pull the locking tilt control arm straight out to your right then lean back. It's either straight up and down or all the way back. There does not seem to be any setting in between.

I have the same problem & haven't figured it out - let me know if u figure it out as I bought the chair so it could fold under my desk as space is limited!

I've been using my chair since July of last year. I use mines in a salon to do eyelash extensions. I was able to service clients who weighed at least 400 pds with no issues. I put my chair together in less than an hour. I will admit one of my holes didnt line up and of course hand tighten the screws allowed for the chair to be unsteady. I had my husband tighten with a wrench and ive had no issues thus far. I have my clients sit first, then adjust their feet, and then lean them back as needed. I love my chair!

We kind of tilted it sideways and put the "legs" in first then the back. I strongly recommend you get an ottoman with this chair if you are using it in a nursery, because of the low back and narrow with it is not as comfortable nursing purposes as we had hoped. The Ottoman would give you a way to lean back. As are regular chair is fine, comfortable and good looking, as a nursing care, I would rethink.

My chair is not a rocker and did not claim to be. It is a recliner and the overstuffed pillows make it very comfortable. It has a serious shortcoming: It is very hard to lock the seat back down after you have released it for reclining. And until you lock it you cannot get out of the chair. I have to use my cane to push the foot rest back far enough to lock it. As it is spring loaded unless you lock it it will stay down; this prevents you from getting out of the chair. Also the chair is about 2 inches too low for the chair to support my legs without my having to bend them and I am only 5'8". But the issue with closing the chair can be a real problem.

I agree. I couldn't get the chair up and now that I finally did it won't go down! I want to take it to craft shows, but I'm not sure how I will manage it on my own.

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.

To be honest almost to much, there is no way to really get comfortable in this chair. It cause my lower back pain to be worse!

Mine is definitely tilting, and it has gotten progressively worse over time. I feel like I'd fall out of the chair if the armrest weren't there. I think mine had a defect when it was new, but it was minor then and I was too lazy to return. In hindsight, I wish I had.

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

The back height of this chair is not adjustable. The seat height is adjustable and the back depth is adjustable. I am attempting to contact someone to correct this mistake on this Amazon posting. Thank you.

The chair doesn't recline, and the back has very little give, just the natural flex of the chair's frame. It's a comfortable chair, but with one major flaw, at least in mine: It tends to lower itself, often with no one in the seat. There must be a leaky valve in the piston. It's very annoying.[After reading the other answers, I wonder if there are two models of this chair: The adjusting knob on mine seems to do nothing at all. I've tried it tightened all the way, loosened all the way with no difference.]

in the directions the tilt tention knob is saying to put it on the wrong way my boyfriend said.. he removed it and put it on in the opposite direction. It tilts back very far.. so far its a nice comfortable chair.. He spends at least 7 hours of his day in a chair.. So im sure he'll let me know if he likes it. :)

Appreciate the problem. The first one we assembled was a bear to set up;the second was easy as we learned onthe first.Great chairs otherwise. If you type in Char-log rocker the company of manufacture will appear and they have a contact us link on their adv. I suspect since their instructions have had a number of complaints, they may have designed an improved set or maybe even video. JLL

I'm 5'8" and find it very comfortable. It's ability to flex/lean may be why it seems to accommodate so many different people. I needed to take a break after the first 3-4 hours using it because I felt tired, but I haven't gone back to the office chair since that first day.I don't know if there is a way to raise or lower it. That's a good question for the seller.

I had the same problem. One side clicked into place. I found that to install or remove the back of the chair it is easier if you tilt the chair forward 90 degrees so that the back is parallel to the floor. You should be able to lift the bottom flap and see the two attachment points. I believe there is detent that you will have to press and release to get the right side to release if it has indeed clicked into place. I believe I pressed using a screwdriver to insure I didn't pinch a finger. If you get the right side to release the back should be much easier to see the attachment points to align both sides when the chair is tilted as I've described. I had the same problem.

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