One of two identical Hudson Stratolounger rocker recliner had the rocker assembly mounted in the wrong holes. Moving the assembly corrected the excessive forward tilting.

Follow up - the change in mounting location worked perfectly. Balance is excellent, no more tipping forward!

Ohhh my gosh I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to explain this. I just bought a swivel rocker and yes it keeps pushing me forward. Thank you soooooooo much. 😉

When I lay in my chair and recline it , the chair moves forward to the ground . Why is that ?

Tip forward when sitting or laying? When I recline it starts to return to upright position.

The tipping forward was most noticeable when sitting, but the mounting hole location shown in the video still applies. If your base is mounted in the correct holes (per the video) then make no changes there. If you have trouble reclining (where the chair tries to push you back up), it could be you are too short or too light weight for the springs they use. I see this when we have a child sit in the chair... they just don't have enough weight to hold the back in the reclined position. Try sitting on a pillow or something to raise your height?

Is there a way to fix the recliner from the foot rest falling when barely any pressure is applied?

Hi, I just checked my recliner and when I pull the handle back to raise the foot rest, it stays put, even with some force. I have to lower the handle to drop the foot rest. So, there are two springs, one by the handle and one on opposite side. You can see the one by the handle at time 0:10, and then see the hole my spring is inserted into (4 holes possible I guess) at Time 0:47 to 0:56. Its last hole closest to the Rod that the handle moves. The opposite side spring looks like a single connection, see that at times 1:03 and also 1:58. If you don't have 2 springs, or they are in the wrong spot, you probably have trouble. Post a pic if you think they are misplaced...

I just bought this exact recliner, and while I loved it in the store, when I sit in it, my feet don't touch the ground, and I have long legs! Should i assume i need to adjust the pitch in the other direction? (if the screws are in the right holes)

Hi. I would try loosening, but not removing, the four adjustment screws and slide the base to the opposite end of the slot that the screws are already mounted in. Re-tighten and test. If that doesn't do it, then you can try moving screws to the other set of mounting holes. You can always move them back. Take LOTS of pictures first to help you do that....

This!!! I also took care to try in store to see if I could touch floor, and it was a nice fit. My chair is not. Of course they give you a same model chair in the box from stock in the back. All that said, my experience sitting in this chair is far from pleasant. In fact, it’s quite awful as my legs fall asleep unless I’m reclined , which I prefer not to be often times. Other issues with the padding, but I’ll end there. Hope you can tweak it to your benefit.

I have this chair too. I am tall, is there a way I can extend the foot rest and is there any way to adjust the back?

@ADK46someday 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, the back piece of both my recliners were shipped separately, and they justed 'snapped' into place. I don't see any adjustment for height. For the footrest,I don't see any adjustment to make the scissors extend further....
