The chair does not tilt back even though there's a tension adjustment on it. Info in the store did not reveal the no-tilt feature so I was surprised to find this out only after I assembled the chair and researched it on the internet.
I bought this chair based on the recommendation from a 2025 Wired article on the 14 best office chairs. It was easy to put together and I like that it has a proper cushion instead of mesh. You don't need to pay hundreds of dollars for a decent chair.
Tilt is hard even at the loosest setting it will.push you across the floor trying to tilt useless . Too much of a paint to return but would not recommend if you like to sit up perfectly straight the whole time you might like it .
