Can you tilt back in this chair or do you have to remain upright at all times?

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.

You must remain upright. The chair even came with a warning not to lean back in it.

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.

NO! This chair has a very big recline to it. You are almost laying down when just sitting in it. While it is comfortable, it is not the best chair for sitting upright. Not even in a living room setting. I actually had to make a new back cushion for it that made the chair a little more upright. Also, if you have carpet in the room, the chair will not rock. I tried getting a small thin rug for underneath to protect my wood floors, but the chair would not rock.

you can recline back or sit upright. The only complaint i have about this chair is that i ordered a blue one and got a red one instead. When i called they did give me a discount.

Yes, it has forward and back tilt controls. You can use them to put the chair forward so that it doesn't go back, or back so it doesn't go forward. Or you can have them off, allowing tilt whenever you lean back. Then you'd use the tension control knob on the right side to your liking. I change the settings all the time depending on what I'm doing.

There's about 2" total you can move the back forward/backward. About the same range vertically. There is no tilt to the chairback.

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 do not use the foot rest. I can push against my computer workstation with my feet and the chair goes back and forwards maybe a foot. It had a med feeling spring return to center but overall it is a confortable feeling rocking sensation. Chair tilts back slightly when pushed backwards and manually using lever reclines a good ways to the point where you are almost laying flat.

You can tilt the back to any angle. There's a lever that releases the back and then it can tilt the full range. You then re-engage the lever at any point to lock the back tilt wherever you want it.

Yes, the chair can be leaned back. You can lock the chair upright so it will not lean back. It will not lock in a reclined(leaned back) position.

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.

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.

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.

That depends on a lot of things, do you always sit up straight if not you of course will have to make adjustments while the chair is built for comfort it's shaped to keep you upright making you sit straight or slump, I would buy it again.

It has to be only up or down. It also doesn't stay in the reclining position unless you scoot back and lay down as far as you can.

The chair does tilt but it has a lockimg bar o the right side. If it is pressed im, it will mot tilt. If pulled out, it will. Hope this helps.

It tilts back if you lean back. It's not a full recline. The bar locks it upright if you don't like the feature.
