I just purchased the multi-position recliner. Both knobs seem loose and wobble. Is this normal?

mine does not have this problem but my husband assembled the chair and put on the levers. perhaps they are not tightened enough.

We have the same issue. We were able to tighten them a little bit just by snapping I'm in tighter but they still seem a little loose.

Tighten the tension screw ( plastic knob ) a few turns at a time and then clamp it down. If its still loose, unclamp and turn the knob a few more times until you achieve your desired tension.

READ THIS! Yes, my seat when brand new felt wobbly after a few miles. That's because the screws on the pair of main springs were getting loose! All you have to do is tighten them real tight, preferably with a non-adjusting wrench. But don't apply too much torque that you start stripping the threads. And also check what UNHAPPY CAMPER was talking about. He makes very good sense. This seat is excellent if properly adjusted and installed, but it is not plug-n-play, I'm sorry to say.

I just remember when I went to put my chair together it was like the springs were backwards. It took my husband using extreme force to get them to work. I would have to look at my chair to see how many springs total and were they are located, unfortunately it's at work. I will check tomorrow.

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.

It does that and don't worry. Just make sure to give it a tap on it to make sure it's on. I had an incident that the pot kept hissing and not building enough pressure so I sort of popped it on top of the knob and it stopped and then built pressure. I guess I didn't have it on correct. Yes, it will wobble like its loose. Just make sure it's pointing to the correct way.

Mine were both wobbly. I was not comfortable with the wobbliness so I returned them.

It wobbles because all of the screws aren't as tight as they can be. I had to Tacky glue, lightly, the screw cover pegs. Just don't glue them before you've tightened ALL of the screws.

Yes, it normal for the adjustment knob to wobble when the coffee is grinding.

I have two of these and wobble is not a problem. However, I would think that wobble from typing would most likely be caused by an unsteady desk to which the arm would be attached.

Mine was a little stiff at first too. Once I got over my fear of breaking the tv, I (alone) was able to figure out how to retract it with out any problems. If it really takes you 2 people to retract it, something might be wrong.

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. :)

Hi, I am able to extend the machine fully by pulling the short knob out, but the seat won't slide. What am I missing here ?

Yeah. I found it was a little wonky as well, but you can shift it with two hands on each side bar without doing any damage. In fact, you'll find after using it for a bit that you may need to readjust it as well.

You might try to wiggle it a bit as you get the screws through... The alignment is close but may not be exact... Try using a screwdriver shaft to line up the holes on both sides of the frame... Also be wary about the horizontal pivot rod (the shaft where the elliptical handles slide onto) make sure the grease is applied well, the fittings are tight and scrape most of the grease off as you slide the fittings on causing squeaking and eventual wear... Good luck...

Both the loveseat and the couch recline (not rock) to almost a laying flat position but unless you adjust backwards on the seat it wont stay locked flat. Also my first one had a defect and they came and picked it up and delivered a new one for free. With my prime membership
