I seem to have a lever instead of a knob to make the chair recline but have not worked it yet. Any ideas?

Just pull the lever and the chair should recline. Don't really like this product... it gets dirty easily and the arm rest covers keeps on rolling and getting out of position...

Yes. Pull the side lever out (away from the chair). This should make it recline back.

I don't think there is one answer. I had to get used to the lever to extend the footrest, as the chair this replaced did not use a lever. Otherwise, it is easy to recline and extend the footrest. You also have to use the lever to bring the footrest back. I have had mine for over a year, and find that I can get the footrest back with my legs - it will snap into place and bring the lever with it. I am 5'6" tall and my arms are just long enough to reach and operate the lever. This could be an issue for shorter people.

The swivel you don't need a locm for it's the reclining you may need that feature for. There IS a knob on the side but I believe that's for the reclining feature. To me it doesn't do anything really.

Sitting on the seat there is a lever on the right hand side....pull up to release and move seat to desired position....push lever down to lock in new position

there is a small lever in the side that you pull out to recline and to get it back to sitting upright, you just push down with your legs and it pops back down.

Make sure the stool is put together correctly. Pulling the lever up will raise the seat. To lower the seat, you have to sit on it as you pull the lever up

There is a handle located at the top of the back of the chair that you squeeze which allows you to adjust the reclining feature.

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.

The answer is "kind of". You can have the footrest up and not be fully reclined. But you are somewhat reclined. For instance I'm in the chair right now sitting up watching TV but too far back to eat if I wanted to lean over my plate. Note that if you are a heavy person the chair back might recline whether you like it or not. The angle is controlled by your body pressure, not a lever. You pull the lever to get the footrest up, then use your back pressure to adjust the angle of recline. I'm 150 pounds and it's not a problem, but I read other reviews on here where people said their husbands are heavy so the back goes back when they put the footrest up.

You can lock the backrest in the upright position by pushing in the lever on the right hand side while you're upright. Once its pushed in you will not be able to recline back in the chair unless you pull out the lever that you just pushed in.

The FORWARD lever on the right will raise or lower the seat. If it does not, your chair may be defective. Good luck.

I don't believe so. There is a handle on the right side of the chair (under the arm) that I use to recline the chair.

I see others answered the question about the wheel locks. My mother uses the chair in a different state and is not in a position to explain the footrest. I recall from using it with her in November that the silver bars that hold the footrests go up and down into the red bars attached to the chair. I do not recall if there was a button or lever but they could definitely be extended.

The chair doesn't recline, and the back has very little give, just the natural flex of the chair's frame. It's a comfortable chair, but with one major flaw, at least in mine: It tends to lower itself, often with no one in the seat. There must be a leaky valve in the piston. It's very annoying.[After reading the other answers, I wonder if there are two models of this chair: The adjusting knob on mine seems to do nothing at all. I've tried it tightened all the way, loosened all the way with no difference.]

On the right side, underneath the seat is a lever. This lever controls the height of the chair and also locks out the tilt feature if it is pushed inward toward the user. Pull it out (ie away from you) and this should fix the problem. If it does not, then there is something mechanically wrong with your product
