My foot rest will not go down. How do I get it to go down?

The lever for the foot rest is on the left of the chair (the others are on the right) It is right behind where the arm rest comes down, and is a little tab that you pull out to release or raise the footrest. Hope this helps. I had the same trouble finding it!

Sit in the chair now there is 3 levers you can pull. 1 for up and down, 1 for lean back, and 1 for the leg rest.Try all 3. The chair must be put together and someone sitting in it.

The foot rest moves freely back and forth- pivots- which is a plus in my book. The height position is fixed, once you set that, it stays.

I used two small pieces of foam rubber to prop the support bars under the footrest -- I wedged them in to keep the bars from sliding closed. The are easily removed and I just use a rubber band to keep them handy on the footrest when not in use. Primitive, but it works!

I have this mattress and I'm having the same problem. It scoots down so that it's drooping off the edge and the frame is exposed at the top.

I have had no difficulty with raising it with the foot lever, however I am having difficulty lowering it.

I have read in some instructions about recline, but have not figured out how to do it. Sorry.

Hi. My husband tried to lower the seat and decided you can't. I hope you can find out differently, but for now that's all we know.

The foot rest is stationary. You may use it to push on & turn yourself around

I just tried it. Counted going down, but not up. Might be just me; my feet are hurting today.

The foot rests can be adjusted to the height you want, if you have short legs or tall legs and they move out from side to side to open up but they don't raise up and down so your legs can be raised up in the air.

You have to manually push it down. But I assume you have already tried that and it didn't work.

The first thing you need to do is set how far the foot rest is from the table. Since I am about 6'2" I usa it at 6'1" and it is pretty well balanced. When I lean back onto the back rest it will be almost perfectly balanced. From there, you just need to pull a slight amount on the hand rest and it will invert for me. You may need to use a different setting because of your body distribution of weight. Also, the first few times I used it it was "weird" to feel yourself being turned upside down. You will get a blood rush to your head, but it will not bother you once you use it a few times. This is how it worked for me, I hope you have as good luck as I did. I really like this thing,,,,,,,I hope this helps. Jim The first thing you need to do is set how far the foot rest is from the table.

No there is no foot rest. For brief periods of time when I do push my son on it, he has placed his legs a bit up on top but I don't think this is viable for any extended period of time.

Unfortunately if you put anything over three pounds it will slowly go all the way down.there is no way to tighten it up so I returned it :( Good luck

I have no problem in lowering to 17 inches. Perhaps try a little oil on the shaft, maybe its stuck, or the seat weight isn't enough to make it go all the way down.

Sounds like you need to loosen the bar that holds your feet in place one notch.

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.
