How supportive is the back? And if there is nowhere to put the hook on the bottom of the chair, is it unstable?

The back is really supportive, can lean for comfort and not feel like it will snap, tear or break. Have not been in a situation yet where we did not have a place to hook the bottom of the chair so can't answer that.

I think it has good back support. We use it as a conference table chair and our clients like them. I'm not sure how supportive it would be for an all day type of desk/work chair.

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.

I just went out and sat on it :-). I am a plus sized lady and it held my weight without any collapse at all. BUT- if a child were to stand on it, even if it is on firm ground and the bottom is wide, IT MIGHT TIP OVER because there isn't much weight to it to keep it firmly on the ground.

Absolutely not. I think it is misrepresented. There is no back support whatsoever.

I weigh 285 and it seems to handle me just fine. The chair does tip forward when I have it fully reclined and lean forward to grab something. This is not a problem though if you put the chair back in the upright position. I am happy with the chair and would buy it again so far. I did not look to see what the chair was made out of but it seems solid and my backrest is still tight. If you are concerned, get the 5 year, everything covered, insurance upon purchase. Then if it falls apart on you, file the insurance claim and they will fix or replace it.

I have used mine 3 or 4 times now. The back is very supportive and comfortable. I have only been able to use the hook once, but felt the chair was very stable in all cases. I am a large man... 6'3" and about 280 lbs. I love this chair.

Mine has small rubber squares on the bottom - but I wouldn't rely on that to keep it secure. there are 2 sets of straps that you can use to secure the seat; one goes below the seat, one goes behind the back support. These two are sufficient to keep chair in place.

Not if your coordinated :) You can use a chair with a back if you want to hold on to something but I don't feel the need for the bar.

It's a really nice, sturdy table but I would not use the hook on chair. I am almost certain it would tip over.

Yes but your expectations for "back as far upright as possible" and "front tilted down" may or may not be met. Guessing that with the seat tilted down as far as possible the back is still less than a 90 degree "as far upright as possible" position however it's comfortable and does keep the pressure off the back of legs if that's what you are looking for. My disappointment with this chair is the lack of height...anyone over about 5'6" may not find this chair's max height adequate.

I too have that issue and need lower back support. This chair is amazing for that! and much more.

Yes, I was recently using it on a bench without hooking it on. Once I sat on it, it still supported my back.

I've owned it for 6 months and weigh roughly 300 lbs. You can definitely see it is a little pushed down towards the back now, but the chair itself has held up well. It does sometimes creak a little when getting in or out, but nothing seems to have broken. The heavier you are the harder it will probably be to keep the chair in one position though - you might find yourself constantly tightening the knob on the side, as I do.

I would think that by nature, if there is no back, then there is the possibility of slipping/leaning too far backward. I would not do it. We found this by far the most supportive bath chair.

Nope. The back is fixed to the seat with a metal bar. There's no flexibility there. The seat doesn't tilt on the base, either.
