Default chair leans too far back

My initial thought would be something like extendable shower
rods. Run
them from the back of the stand to the back of the seat. Run a small
bolt through
the two pipes at their junction once you decide what length you want.
Put a bolt
through the ends of the pipes where they meet the seat and the stand.
It's not the
most attractive thing but it's something that someone with limited tools
could do.
One obvious concern would be strength. The guys here who have
done a lot
of plumbing and/or electrical work will probably come up with an
alternative.
