When you sit in these chairs, do you lean back or sit up straight?

I would consider them to be a straight-backed chair. Comfortable and perfect for dining.

Sit straight up. Great chair for long legged people! Seat is not too short in the leg.

These chairs are really comfortable. I bought some chair cushions for the seat area and it really looks nice. It's definitely not a stiff upright seat but you don't seat leaning way back. I hope this helps.

No the back is straight,this is a very nice swing we love ours .But I would get a cushion for it.

The chair is design with a straight back. However, the design of the actual seat will result in about a 3-5 degree slant when you set down. This is ideal for me. I hope this helps.

There's a slight recline to the upright position, but all you need is a pillow behind your back to sit straight.

This chair does not lean back, it only has a tension tilt. You can only tilt back a few degrees.

First, I love these chairs. They are awesome and look great in my kitchen. Occasionally, I will sit back and have never noticed any discomfort. My back touches the top bar. Most times, especially when eating, you are leaning forward or sitting upright, so I don't think it is a real issue. The padding on the chair was more of a concern for me and these are wonderfully padded chairs. They are very comfortable. I hope this answers your question.

You just lean back with a little bit more pressure than you would leaning against it normally, and it moves the way it should. The back goes back while the front of the seat comes up a bit too (very comfy for putting your feet on your desk if you feel like it). There is also a lever on the side that will lock that function, preventing you from being able to lean back in the chair.

hi Kiez .. I have both seat and back cushions on my set of these chairs and would most definitely recommend that you get them as well if you get these chairs. I had a guy come in who put the chairs together for me. (I can't assemble anything!) Generally we sit in them for about an hour+ (playing scrabble) and then (up & getting dinner ready) .. back down for about another 30-45 mins having dinner/watching some TV. John is generally comfortable sitting on these chairs. I sit at my computer a few hours a day and by the time I sit in these chairs, my back is already a little strained. So I think it's "mostly" me, not the chairs. But I think two hours (or so) would be about max. It is nice that they have arm rests and they look really nice. Hope this helps. regards, ronnie m.

Two reclining positions. I wouldn't say you would recline to an absolutely flat on your back position but it's pretty close and moving from one position to the other is smooth with little effort. I've sat in some recliners that I require considerable effort pushing with your feet and back of your calf to move it back into an upright position so you can get out of the chair. This one is much easier to transition without it slipping on it's own accord. We are quite pleased with these chairs and for the price, you can't really beat it. They do not look cheap at all and have a contemporary style to them. Two reclining positions.

Yes. I was going to say that they're flush with the back if the chair, but they actually go a little bit behind the back. I'm on week 9 of owning this chair and I like it more every day. I spend about 35 hours a week in it.

The back-rest leans backward, but the seat portion does not lean back with the back-rest. There are three basic controls on the chair. One raises or lowers the height, another locks/unlocks the seat-back for leaning, and another allows the seat portion to adjust forward/backward. The arm-rests also can be adjusted up or down.

The chair is able to lean back but keep in mind that this chair is very inexpensive, and you get what you pay for. The leaning mechanism is put together by a spring and a lever with only two settings, "On" or "Off". The chair will always be returned to its default upright state due to the spring mechanism so if you want to lean back, you'll need to utilize some muscle.

Yes you can lean back. The jets should be effective except where they might be blocked by the back of the chair.

I have found that if the seat pan/tilt is pisitioned properly than you do not need the back. I have mine all the way down to the seat, and never utilize it as a seat back. My seat is tilted forward as far as it goes. I am a dental hygienist and use my chair when treating patients

Any that you want, that's why it's called'infinite' position. It's not like the 3 position chairs, you can set the back and the feet independently, to any position you want. It's very nice!

Do you mean "not" lean back at all? The up/down adjustment can be pulled in or out and if it is pushed in it will lock the chair so that it does not lean back.

There are 2 positions for the seat: reclined and folded down as shown in the picture. If it was against a wall, I suppose it could lean against it straighter up. We love this seat. Good height/size for young kids and makes for a great gaming chair (with storage for controls and toys)!
