YES! This was part of my review that Amazon deemed inappropriate! It is a junker! Send it back!

Sounds like the handle on the side that you pull or push to lean back or not was barely in and when you lean back it slips out and you go back fast.

No, it may be that the arm that hangs out to the right is not in or out all the way. It's used to raise and lower the seat height, but if you move it right and left it locks and unlocks the ability to lean back in the chair. I've got mine locked a lot of the time, but sometimes it pops itself out and I slip back into a leaning position. When that happens, it makes that sound. Otherwise, the only sound I hear is of the leatherlike creaking.

It will make some creaking sounds which are very normal. The only wood in this chair is the plywood on the bottom of the seat, you can check if that has cracked. I would classify a "wood breaking sound" as when wood splinters but not creaking sounds. If it really has made that sound then your bottom plate is broken. If it is intact then it is just normal creaking sounds made by the metal parts or the chair or the leather.

We are satisfied with the chair in all respects except that it is showing some wear on the edges of the back. Maybe my husband is running into the edge of the desk & causing friction to the material. Don't notice any tilting.

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

Mine makes a noise that I was initially concerned about but after reading JcrusR2's answer I can verify that in my case, he is right (The only thing that might be loose is the plastic On Button. The inside should be solid.) Try shaking it and checking to see if the noise is coming from the power button. You can also jiggle the button lightly with your finger and produce the same sound.

Hi, We are not sure how slight is the knocking but if it seems like a crackling sound, like the sound of burning wood, that should be normal. Otherwise, there might be an issue inside the item. We hope that helps. Thank you, Sales Team

The back is not wood and I had the same problem with the center support leg. It broke when the unit was moved. I'm not sure it wasn't my fault though. Other than that, I like it.

No it's normal. Need to make sure it's full of sugar, it's self balancing. I have 2 machines they vibrate a lot

It makes no noise at all, although we just got it. It doesn't seem like it will make sound. Very solid chair with a 'silent glide' now anyway. You can try out similar models at Babies R Us, if you want to sit it one yourself. Just don't buy it there b/c a custom color will take 3+ mos and will be a few hundred $$ more.

Sorry but that does not sound normal. Ive had mine for a while now and it hasnt made one noice yet. Check your warranty, might be a problem in the upcomming future.

Push/press the back of the chair (sitting up) forward and you will hear clicks (three). The 3rd click releasing it to a bed. I hope this helps.

No... maybe the chair was changed at some point, but my chair is static and the seat back is actually angled slightly forward. Very uncomfortable! imo

That is not normal. Mine stays tightly latched to the back while not in use. I can hear it "click" when I push it back in.

No "popping sounds" from my chair or my husband's chair.....both this model.

Entire chair tips back. First time last night; stiff action which is indicative of longer lasting - more room to go slack over time

I did so, and yes it's lower, but what bugs me is the creaking noises. I never heard anything when I had a regular mattress on the box spring, but with the memory foam mattress on top, it makes loud creaking noises when I shift positions. Not always, but often. I'm thinking about putting a plywood board between the mattress and box springs.
