Mechanical control. All Red Barrel Studio chairs are furnished with a standard control which has 4 specific functions. A 360-degree swivel. A tilt-back action that allows the user to tilt the entire chair backward for a change of position or to be more comfortable when you are not working on a desk or other surface. An adjustable tension makes the chair either easier or harder to tilt. A tilt-lockout prevents the chair from tilting backward.
