<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 450975, member: 5833"]Great chairs. Starting to wish I had one. What do they look like on the opposite side from where that handle is? Definitely must be meant to be squeezed upward, just as you have your hand in the one photo, but looks to me like when you do so the mechanism pulls something outward on the other side. That may be where it has become stuck & need a bit of knocking & oiling. On the upright, are those just indentations at each level where the seat can be positioned, or are they holes that go all the way through? Either way, they look deep, so may have to really get that handle to squeeze way up, not just part way. Probably meant to be adjustable by one person alone; agree with everyone else that for the first time, another pair of hands may be both necessary & prudent. Is the mechanism for changing the height of the back rest working OK? Looks much less complicated. And don't pull that pin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
