I assembled this chair. But how to tilt it?

This was my issue. The spring is very right. You have to make sure you assembled it correctly with the dial in front. Then you should be able to just lean back, but mine won't. As I said the spring is too tight. I do not know how to contact the company and I can't remove the base to send it back. So i'm stuck.

There is a knob on the bottom of the chair you can twist to tighten or loosen. I have yet to use this myself so I can't info you as to how well it works. My advice is to loosen it a quarter turn at a time to assure you don't accidentally fall backwards. I hope this helps

Did you purchase the ottoman along with the chair? We have that too, and I use it every time I'm in it and that probably helps prevent leaning. I'm not sure how to adjust it, sorry, not much help here!

The knob in front under chair adjusts the tension of the lean. the lever on the side that adjusts height also allows for tilt if you pull it out to the right. it leans pretty far, but u may have to loosen the knob to get the tension where u need it for easy recline. .

I was surprised mine leaned back. Usually these simple computer chairs don't do that. It doesn't lean back to the point I fall though. Check knob underneath and turn one way, lean back, then turn the other way and lean back. If that doesn't fix it, retighten all screws with allen wrench. Still doesn't work then something is faulty.

Make sure the fan is off. Then just grab it by the base and tilt the head wherever you want it.

As stated by others: Flip it upside down, grab both legs of the chair. In one swift motion close them together - you can't do it slowly - it needs to be one solid jerk motion for the mechanism to work.

Mine does tilt but it was VERY stiff to change angle. Just tried it again and was able to adjust but still very stiff

Installing it upside down, that works well for me. If you do not have enough space, you could tilt it a little.

Sharon, I did not keep the directions but it was a pretty straight forward assembly. First connect the two side to the back and then start connecting the bottom shelves to the assembly working your way to the top. The top tilt-able shelf. I did have a bit of a problem keeping the screw cover buttons in place and ended up putting a very small dot of glue on one place of each one as they popped out.I hope this helps you, it really is pretty easy to assemble.

Tilt is adjusted by the two vertical arms. It is adjusted with the allen wrench provided, however, be careful during assembly. If the vertical struts don't have the adjustment screw aimed outward, you are screwed. I am using it with no tilt, in which case you use the provided pin to lock it.

These are the highly adjustable Aeron chairs so they do tilt. You must lower the back lever on the left side of the chair and loosen the tension knob and the chair will recline back. I can have a Herman Miller Service person call you for help as well. BACKSTORE

in the directions the tilt tention knob is saying to put it on the wrong way my boyfriend said.. he removed it and put it on in the opposite direction. It tilts back very far.. so far its a nice comfortable chair.. He spends at least 7 hours of his day in a chair.. So im sure he'll let me know if he likes it. :)

The only adjustment (on the right side) is to raise or lower it. If you stand up and push down on the lever, the chair will raise up. If you sit down and then push it, the chair will adjust to a lower position. There is no tilt adjustment. You can only adjust the tension for when you lean back in the chair. It doesn't change the position. I love the chair. I took a chance...I have an Aeron chair where everything is adjustable. However, the tilt on it breaks after a year or two. This one is a very affordable compromise and very attractive.

There is no way for it to tilt. Sits flat, only adjustment is the height. Just a note, it is fairly comfortable for a hard seat.
