Can you lock the chair in the tilted back position?

I never could. The chair is also rated for 400lbs, but the chair bottomed out after 3 weeks. I weigh 330. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Yes - the lever that controls the vertical (height) also locks/unlocks the tilt.

Even if it's in the locked position it will recline if you really push, but you should do as suggested by other and turn the locking locking flanges to the unlocked position. This b rand of zero grav chair actually resists forward and back movement more than the original Lafuma chairs so once you're in a good position you sort of stay there, which I like. But yeah, hold the armrests, push with your back and the foot support raises as the back declines.

In addition to pulling the lever out, there's a knob under the chair which adjusts "tilt tension" which is pre-set to be very tight. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to loosen it - that should make it easier to tilt.

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

Yes, it's very easy to lock it in place or unlock it as you wish. There is a lever underneath that you can reach while sitting.

There is a lever on the bottom. It is easier if someone sits in the chair and leans back while another person then adjust the lever to lock it in place once you find the right position.

Yes you can lean while sitting but just remember that when you lean to the left or right the back of the chair will wobble to the same side that you lean to. Don't think that tightening the bolt that holds it onto the seat will help either, it wont.

No, it cannot be tilted. It has just a clamp for setting on the side or back of a chair. I did NOT see any way to tilt the clamp.

There is a knob that controls the rate and ease of recline. You can also pull the seat height handle out for back tilting; you need to push it back in to lock the position.

Yes on the right hand side of the chair there is a little pull handle that unlocks the tilt so it can tilt.

I wouldn't say it can be tilted. You can take the clamp and change the way it works - Horizontal or Vertical. Note that the Umbrella pole is short. Once clamped to a director's chair with a shorter back, you will need to still duck to get in, so it does do a pretty good job of protrecting your upper half.

Yes. There is a large black nob underneath the seat that you can twist that prevents the chair from reclining.

Hey Ryno, the chair does lean (a pretty stiff lean unlike some floppy office task chairs), and can lock to prevent lean. It cannot, at least as far as I can tell, lock at any particular lean point.Hope that helps! All aside though, its been 6 months or so since purchase and I still love mine... very nice look/feel for the price!

No, there is no way to lock it once laid back into a horizontal position. You can adjust the height of the ankle locks, which make it easier or harder to rotate back and upside down. But I wouldn't suggest doing so. If you put the ankle locks at a height much shorter than yourself, it will be extremely easy to flip upside down, but once you get past the point of verticle, gravity makes it nearly impossible to rotate back upright-which can be pretty dangerous. Don't get me wrong though, I love mine. But I use it for stretching out my back and only that.

I do not believe so the only lock I've found is the lock to prevent you from leaning back.

Unfortunately you can't make the chair lean back without leaning back with your body. But the chair has an adjustment knob to make it easier to lean back or to lock it in a stationary position. But that position is upright and not back.
