Does this chair lean backward?

Yes. It's comfortable, and does all of the usual functions an exec. chair does. It's nice looking too.

No, the back does not tilt by its' self. The seat and back do tilt back together.

Yes, it will lean back. It has three positions you can lock it in (full upright/approx 15 degrees/approx 30 degrees) or leave it unlocked and use the spring tensioner for support.. The tension on the seat-back mechanism is enough to give some support and will also assist you when you wish to return to full upright. The locking mechanism is easily accessed and works well. At 230 lbs and 6ft tall I am able to use this chair with confidence.

No it doesn't. The chair keeps returning to a sitting position when trying to recline.

Yes they do tilt back slightly--they are my favorite chairs because they are so comfortable. The chair backs are designed with that angle, and in my opinion that was the trickiest part of putting the chairs together (overall the chairs went together quite easily, and after a year I still love them and would buy them again in a heartbeat.)

There's a slight curve to it. And the back is not completely upright. Seems to be designed on an obtuse angle. I've had this chair for 3 or so years. It's comfy and goes w everything.

The chair swivels 360 degrees. It does not return to the original position. Hope this helps.

No it doesn't but it still swivels. I think this is a safety function because I couldn't find one that does. It seems like it could easily flip backwards if it rocked while reclined.

No, it does not. The chair is mostly as you see in the image with the arms and back having permanent positioning on the chair.

No, it does lean back according to your weight, but it is not intended to be a rocker.

Yes, it does. It doesn't go to a flat horizontal position, but does recline. I had to lubricate the mechanism on my chair before it would move easily from one position to another, but with use, it becomes easier.

No, only up or down, but the arm rests themselves are amply long enough so backward/forward is not a factor.

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.

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.

There are stoppers on the rear of the rings. When one sits down initially, the chair rocks forward. Then with a slight push of a leg, the chair leans back and comfort is achieved. A little balance is needed, but it is minimal.

No. They do adjust to go a little lower or higher depending on your preference, but they do not rotate "back" like some other chairs do.

not if you mean that it will decline to the point of being parallel with the floor. The back is flexible, however. The back of my chair probably declines 30 degrees from the vertical. I assume but haven't checked, that the amount of give can be varied. I think it is a great chair.
