How does this chair operate, when it comes to getting in and out of it? Any issues?

There are stoppers on the rear of the rings. When one sits down initially, the chair rocks forward. Then with a slight push of a leg, the chair leans back and comfort is achieved. A little balance is needed, but it is minimal.

There is a lever that says lock. When I push it in with the back upright I can feel it slip into a hole and the chair locks upright. When I push it in with the chair reclined I cannot find another hole, no matter what position the chair is reclined in.

There is definitely a latch. It is a heavy chair, but not too bad. I like the fact that you don't feel it will fall over. More important to me than the scraping of the floor. I always lift anyway, and don't drag, if possible.

Hi there, I haven't tried out the chair yet, but my husband has, and he said very comfortable, and easy for him to get out of it. Hope that helps.

Great chair! Easy to get in and out of as well as change position. I recommend not using the lock position. Other then that, excellent! Would purchase again!

Chair was purchased for my elderly mother and she said she has not had any problems with the chair at all. However, she said she does not make it a habit of sitting on the edge of the chair either. Hope this helps.

Pump it down to make chair go up. Lift up on lever (put foot under lever and lift up) to lock it.

Yes, been using it for about a month and no problems. Seem to be a nice quality chair for the price. Happy with it!!!

It's a pretty simple maneuver. You lift the seat up from the front until it's about 90 degrees and the back is flat/parallel to the floor, you should hear a click, and then when you pull the seat back down, the back stays down as well and you have a flat surface. Same thing to go back to a sofa - you lift the seat up to 90, the hinges lock, and you pull it back down to a sofa. One of my hinges "broke" after a few conversions, but it turns out it just gets stuck in one position, so I have to manually move part of the hinge each time. Not a big issue though, it's still very easy to go back and forth.

It is easy and doesn't take much effort, and I use it the same way - just to relax for a bit when I'm watching something on the PC. It can be reclined while sitting in it. You have to bend down to the side and lift a lever underneath the chair, lean back to where you want it, then lower the lever to lock it in place. When you sit up in it you do the reverse, but you do have to reach back with your hand and pull the back of the seat all of the way forward; it's easy to do and lifts most of the way on its own, but not all of the way. The bending and twisting to the side might not be comfortable for someone with a bad back, but otherwise not difficult. I explain how the footrest works in my review, and in the comments I linked to the video that shows the chair in action. I have had it a few weeks and still like it.

We don't find a problem, but I have to assist Sandie in and out of the chair anyway. It does swing out of the way with the footrest, and the tray can pivot out of the way too.

Seat is relatively high. We did not experience any difficulty getting in or out of chairs.

I've had it for about 1/2 year and it's still comfy and working fine. I don't see this chair breaking down anytime soon. No wear and tears. I use it in my home and sit in it for hours everyday. I can spin around fast still! If you're into that kind of stuff...

I've had this chair for five months and so far have not had a problem. I've been happy with it. I do have a cushion in the seat since I have a back problem and maybe that has helped save on the wear.

Just hold the back of the chair and with the other hand grab the front of the seat and pull upward, it is a little tight but it works. Great chair
