Hey friend! Heads up! You may have discovered this already, put if you pull the lever out, away from the chair, it releases the lock and then the chair WILL lean back nice and far for a super relaxed chill vibe! The knob underneath adjusts how loose or tight the rocker is. So if you loosen the knob, the chair will recline with less effort or force. If you tighten the knob, the chair will recline but will require more force to do so. It does not adjust the seat firmness. Also, you can't pull the lever out, recline, and push it back in to stay reclined. It only locks flat. But I love this chair man!!
Yea it actually does recline back. The Lever that makes the seat go up and down, there’s a lock and unlock options. I think if you pull towards you, it unlocks and your able to rock forward and back. But when it’s in lock, you won’t be able to rock it back and forth. It kinda sucks that it doesn’t have a real recline tho. You can only rock back and forth. It won’t stay reclined
