My daughter has got me one these for my birthday for computer use and to help my back.
I fitted it together (as instructions) while sitting in it it doesn’t seem to recline (using the button. I thought it would move to a posistion for me to select (releasing the button).
When I move in the chair, it rocks back, if I lean back the chair moves back. It doesn’t seem to want to stop, so I fear going over (if not carefull) it’s as though it auto recline – auto unrecline as it rocks back.
I put this to the seller (not yet heard back)
I did think I could choose a position and lock it in place, maybe not? as long as I sit still it’s ok, once I move back in the seat, the seat falls back. It eventually stops but if I push up with my feet it continues to fall back.

Cheers
JohnSeptember 20, 2018 at 3:51 pm #26139The ad states :- Height adjustable with reclining function. Seat back can be adjusted and locked in tilted position.
That could be taken to mean only locked in fully tilted position, as opposed to multiple tilted position. Some seats – I have been looking around for one for a while, to go with my new desk – have a rocking motion of 15 degrees. With this funciton the back and seat stay in the same position in regard to each other but rock back and forwards by 15 degrees.
Your handle has written on it ” push in /tilt lock” and “pull out/tilt release”. Again that could mean both scenarios. Only locked at either extreme, or locked in multiple positions between. Only the vendor can definiotively answer that one.
THIS is what I’ve been looking to get.

I did notice the handle went in/out but nothing happened.
After you pointed out what’s on the handle (should have worn my glasses) it seems it will only lock in 1 angle lets say 1% not 3%-5% etc.
The 1% is just enough for me to chill back after some typing.
The one your looking at is the same (without the massager)
Now I have got to grips with mine I would almost say (at this stage) go for it. It’s a bit noisy (clunky thump) when going back and forth even when locked and the handle vibrates.
I don’t know what the button is for on the right, if you have one please tell and maybe if you get it to stop clunky thump.

haveget one please tell and maybe if you get it to stop clunky thump.Will do. Things are all on a schedule here at the moment, once the front wall is finished we’re getting the lounge floor sanded and lacquered.
Then the computer desk, then the chair. The en-suite is the one room we have hardly touched in 10 years and now needs re-furbing.
We’ve changed the window, next the old tiles off the wall, then it’s in with a new bath and suite, new floor, lights and extractor.
One of the garden sheds ( our old beach hut ) needs moving to the back of the garden, so while the guy’s doing the front wall we’re using the cement mixer to lay a solid concrete base for it, raise it off the floor on some second hand scaffold boards split down the middle. Then it and the other sheds need staining. Once that’s done it’ll be time to start on the garage.
It’s nice being retired……………… isn’t it??? Mightn’t it be??? One day!!!! Please….!!

Talking lacquered when I fetched the old carpet up the floorboards was lacquered. I ruined it though as the carpet/underlay came up in (managable) small chunks (after cutting with a stanley knife) now knife cuts here and there.
It’s a good job I prefer carpet.

JohnSeptember 21, 2018 at 6:10 pm #26202JB that activity is the cause of several deep cuts on my fingers, worst on my right thumb, into the quick of the thumbnail and index finger. To ‘save money’ on the cost of new lounge carpet, SWMBO
pressuredpersuaded me to take up the old carpet, underlay and gripper. Problem was that a previous carpet fitter had hammered some really hard nails into the underlying tile floor. It was removing these which abused my poor digits. The margins of the ceramic tile floor are all damaged by the nails and their removal by me, but the new carpet fitter managed to lay down some stuff which took the new gripper and the carpet hid the damage. I don’t want to have to do that again! It does look good now though.This is just one area of damage, all round the margins is the same.

I cut up the old carpet, gripper and underlay with my trusty Stanley knife. A new neighbour is building a shed/workshop and has spent a bomb on a kit he bought on the net. He has got about 25% of the build done but keeps stopping for a couple of days, every time he has left it over the last 2 days of high winds, off comes the tarpaulin. The shed kit includes an insulated base and more for the walls. I offered him the underlay for more insulation, he refused politely. Says he was an office worker before retirement and the way he is working, I believe him. No offence to office workers, did that myself once in between other work. Least interesting working period of my life.
The old carpet & underlay is now landfill, no one wanted it. I denailed the gripper and took it to the Waste dump.So much for recycling!
When the Thought Police arrive at your door, think -
I'm out.September 21, 2018 at 9:26 pm #26212Bob you kept her happy then.
Do you mean all them gripper pins too,landfill is the best place for old stuff. Mine too has seen the skip at the landfill. There was no gripper down so no need to dump it. 6 years it’s been down (at this address) with no gripper.
The carpet was fine without gripper, I wonder why gripper. Other than maybe it helps a fitter to kick stretch (often with the knee)
Cheers
