I purchased this computer chair not that long ago. I assembled it and it felt okay at first. However, you can't seem to sit upright on this? When I went to a store a while back to check computer chairs, I probably tested like 20 chairs or more and like 90% of them seem to all have a bit of lean back like this? I read most computer chairs are like this but how is that comfortable?


This computer chair, you could recline it but I don't know how reclining is comfortable? I notice people talk about how nice it is for a chair to recline but unless you are watching a movie, how is it even comfortable? The thing is I did assemble this chair according to the video. There is a lever where it would lock the chair so it doesn't recline. Now even if you lock it, you are not sitting upright?


Can someone tell me from the pictures and the video, is that how this computer chair suppose to be? I don't know how this is even comfortable at all. Is it possible I assembled it not correctly or something with the back of the chair? I can take pictures of it and video to show.

The chair that I tried at the store, I liked it but the thing was it didn't had any lean back at all. You couldn't lean back at all. I read that a computer chair should give you an option to lean back. The other thing is the chair cost about $200 or so. The main thing was even though I don't like the lean back, every article seem to say all computer chairs should have a lean back so I didn't buy it mainly because of that. That chair was very comfortable and seemed productive. I thought buying a chair where it doesn't have any lean back was not good from checking out articles.



The chair that I bought cost around $130 or so. However, it seemed to have a lean back so I thought that was good. Again, the chair I bought is in the link I posted in the first post. It didn't have much reviews but I went with it because the brand seems to be good for other things. I went and put back the 2 screws into the chair. Now, it isn't as loose as it was back then. However... for some reason the lever where you use to adjust the height of lock it from reclining... it always seems to be loose for some reason? Like when I lock it, sometimes when I lean back, it would sometimes recline. Then I notice the lever is not locked. Is that normal?



This chair you can adjust the height without an issue. You can even adjust the height of the arms of the chair as well. However, there is still a slight lean back on the chair. So you can't like sit back and be sitting straight upright which is the position I prefer. My question is... is there a way to adjust this? I want the back of the chair to lean forward where it's like in an upright position. Is there a way to do this? Could I use tape or whatever to move it forward? The only thing I think I could do is buy a full size pillow and put that on my back and that probably works? However, doing that would mean I bought this computer chair mainly for the seating cushion? I do notice the seat is huge as well and seems bigger than a normal seat? Can someone take a look at the dimensions and tell me if that's the case? What I do like is the wheels of the chair though as you can sort of twirl around. However, it doesn't seem to allow you to sit upright in that position even if you lock the lever?

I just bought a Herman Miller Verus (Which? best buy UK) chair with an adjustable lean back. It's pricy but the most comfortable office chair I've owned.
