I am 5'10, 180. When I lean back in this chair, will I fall over the back? Is the back sturdy to lean back on? please answer

The chair is pretty sturdy and I don't think you would fall over the back. This chair is used primarily by my 12 year old son but I think it is comfortable for adults too. Just keep in mind it's low so that might affect your comfort.

Hi Fiona. I keep my chair next to the wall because I know it is made of foam and not very sturdy. It's difficult to answer your question because it depends on how much of your body is leaning over the top of the chair and the angle of your lean. The top of the chair is velcroed to the bottom of the chair. To be on the safe side, I would not recommend an adult of your size leaning on the back of this type of chair unless the chair is up against a wall.

No, the back is not sturdy unless it is against a wall...the back is very low for even short folks.

This sleeper chair is only suitable for small children; I'd say under 8 years of age. I would not recommend it. The back has straps andd snaps to hold and is not suitable for sitting by an adult.

I weigh 310 lbs and had no problems with the chair. It's very comfortable and I am glad I bought it. I just wish the back was a little higher because I am 6' 5".

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 finished assembling this chair. I am 150lbs and i feel like im about to fall through the back of the chair when i rock lightly.

I'm 5'6". And it works well for me. The top part you can't adjust. The bottom part you can adjust for the length of your legs. However, that may make the top half heavier then the bottom (the balancing problem). If this is what is happening, and you are falling backwards, it is good, because that is where you will end up and want to. It is bad because it is hard to come back to upright when you are done. You may need to attach some weight to the place you stick your feet in. Maybe use leg weights (the ones with the Velcro straps). This should help. Please let me know if this works. Oh.. and make sure you try this with someone there to help! Good luck Darlene. Martin

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

Yes, you can lean back on it, it does hold. However, it would be low on an adults back. Depending on height, it would be lower back to mid range. I am 5'2" and find it very comfortable and sturdy for movie watching.

Hi I like the chair a lot I am 5'3 110lbs my husband is using it sometime, he is 5'10 and 200lbs and enjoys it. I think is a great chair .

I would still buy this one. My husband is 5'10" weighs 160 and I am able to maneuver him just fine. The back is high enough for him. I believe if anyone was over 6' it may be a little low but would still be okay. It is a little difficult to push over wide thresholds but not impossible. We spend a lot of time going to therapy at a hospital and there are lots of doors with thresholds and we do just fine. Hope this helps.

I've had mine a few days now. I'm 6'1" and 300 lbs... this chair is holding me up with zero problems. I was very worried when I was putting it together, but it's wonderful. I shift now and again, as a lot of my weight is displaced to my shins, but I find it's perfectly fine if I shift to where my knees take the weight- and even simply bring my feet out to the sides- and though it has casters, it doesn't just roll out from under me or anything. Getting used to it isn't nearly as awkward as expected. Love love love it.

I have noticed a very very slight tilt. It's only noticeable if I pull my feet off the ground and lean the chair all the way back. If I do that it will start to spin very slowly. I figured that it was due to the fact that I lean it pretty heavy anyways and I am 6'4" and 350lbs, so not a little person. Other than that the padding and stitching and everything else is still in fantastic shape. I have only had it for 6 months but I spend probably 12+ hours a day in it.

I have had this seat for only a few months , it is well built and if taken care of , and not over stressed it should hold up , I weight around 212 myself.you can adjust the back to different angle on leaning back .Dale

Hi - I'm at the opposite end of the scale @ 5'2". There's NO WAY you could sit on your behind on this chair. The angle of the seat is not adjustable. It's a great chair, but at your height, you'd be almost vertical. Or your feet would be under & behind the chair. Sorry, but keep looking!

I am only 5'5" and it is fine on my back for the most part. Sometimes I use a lumbar pillow though bc of the curve in the back is a little higher than where i need it to be. It is probably built for a taller person. The good thing is the back is totally adjustable to any position, including the arms. They go up, down, foward and back. It is a very comfy chair

This depends on your sense of balance. I'm 5'10". The seat moves around and there is slight movement up and down so you have to bear that in mind. Your legs and back are active, and this forces your spinal column to be as balanced as possible, ensuring proper posture. There is virtually no way to slouch, or sit unbalanced on this seat. I like this chair, but at times I just want to flop down into something and this doesn't work for that, so I will occasionally swap it out for my old office chair.

I was surprised mine leaned back. Usually these simple computer chairs don't do that. It doesn't lean back to the point I fall though. Check knob underneath and turn one way, lean back, then turn the other way and lean back. If that doesn't fix it, retighten all screws with allen wrench. Still doesn't work then something is faulty.
