hi think you need some seat that has special feature for you to stand up and i don't think this one will work for you.

I seem to sit up straight in it. But I think everyone is different. The back is straight and I really enjoy it.

It is an O.K. chair. I sometimes sit in it to rest my back But I would not buy it for a bad back. I think it would be better to look for a more solid chair.

the chair is straight up and very comfortable. My husband had trouble with other chairs that were not comfortable when sitting straight up but this one has met all his needs.

I have just bought this device about 2 weeks ago. I use it when I know I will slouch. It reminds me to stand straight. I have bad posture for 30 years and I do not think I will be cured overnight. The good news is that my support is very comfortable and easy to use.

Just a straight chair will work I think I am sitting at it right now I really like it. I have very old fashion wooded chair that looks very nice with it.

We kind of tilted it sideways and put the "legs" in first then the back. I strongly recommend you get an ottoman with this chair if you are using it in a nursery, because of the low back and narrow with it is not as comfortable nursing purposes as we had hoped. The Ottoman would give you a way to lean back. As are regular chair is fine, comfortable and good looking, as a nursing care, I would rethink.

I use it fit clients with long hair our short clients . For it's not wise to bend to achieve the hair style your back will pay later. I believe if your bench is low enough to the ground this chair could help you with your messages.

Seems to me the best chair would be where you can sit straight up. I got this one the advice of my husband's neurologist because he has Parkinson's. We don't use it at all because it's too hard to get our feet into, and they slip out easily. I would not recommend this brand. Don't understand how anyone could actually use this.

The back seems fairly supportive. I lean back on it...but not with all my body weight. I sit normally and am comfortable. As for the stability of the chair...the hooks are best. But... I have used it without the hooks to try it out. The bottom is rubberized so it stays fairly stationary. If you are a wiggle worm you might end up on the floor. If you sit normally you should be comfortable and stay put!

I just purchased and received this chair and I'm having the same problem with the back of the chair slowly falling back flat when the footrest is up, I figured out that if I don't put the footrest up the back of the chair is locked in place and doesn't move...soooooo.....I went on Amazon and purchased an Ottoman footrest for those times when I want the back of the chair to stay put.

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.

in my opinion, you're half way between sitting upright and reclined. if you scoot your backside forward in the sling (chair) you're more reclined...if you position your backside more towards the center/back, you'll sit up more. our chair doesn't hang and look like a seat like the picture does. if you saw it, it just looks like a blue thing hanging in a heap, but then again, we don't use the pillows. maybe that helps to define it more? regardless, i enjoy sitting in it.

Yes. I love this chair. Great back support and though it looks hard and not well padded, it's a delight to sit in. I'd buy it again.

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

It should be positioned so your pelvis is tilted slightly forward, unless you have a herniated disc. In which case, the chair won't help with your back problems, and might even aggravate them. With the forward pelvic tilt, your spine should feel both straight and relaxed.

When I put this chair together it was tough!! I had to have my son help me hold the back when putting on the legs, it was not fitting right with the holes we really had to use a lot of strength to get it to match up, at first I put the back on backwards....Good Luck. I also remember having to go to the hardware store to buy some washers they shorted me.

Yes. My husband loves it. He has steel rods in his back and has found it difficult to sit in certain chairs. His only complaint is it doesn't lean back very much.
