It appears that this chair leans back farther than most folding chairs. Is that just the angle of the photo or does the back 'recline' more than most?

The chair does lean back a bit. We bought for a friend w/back problems & he said that you do not want one to sit straight if you had back issues. I will ask him for an update as we gave for a Christmas gift.

It reclines back just enough to comfortably take a snooze. But still sits upright enough for a good chair seating. Took these chairs camping last weekend and my son and I both thought they were great.

Just slightly but not looking into the air or anything. The design of this chair is great and i would recommend (getting it in the bag is a pain though). The fabric is breathable and there is no crazy tension across the bottom of your legs. The way the chair sits is to support good posture and it works well (i have scoliosis with 4 rods and 10 screws in my back) so posture is important. I'll add when my back hurts this is the chair i sit in. You won't regret it i promise.

Here's gift recipients response:Actually I like the chair because the back is firm, and not slouchy like most bag chairs. I can't say how comfortable it is for a length of time because I sit in it for maybe five minutes before I get up to do something.

It leaned way too far to be comfortable for me, so I sent mine back absolutely, (what a shame, price was good, construction too). I gave the other two to my daughter and son in law and offered to send theirs back too, but they decided to keep them for tailgating.

This chair is in the upright position. It will fully recline and be secure. I have two myself.

Yes, the chair is adjustable, but it doesn't recline all the way back. The maximum recline makes it so that you're sitting back just enough that you're leveled with the floor but not sliding off. You can tilt it forward in a decline if you are very active with work on your chair.

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.

The back is very rigid but not straight up and it has a moderate lean to the back. My wife loves it but has made comments about the back not conforming to her spine.

The back is adjustable, and the chair can rock. However, I would not advise you to buy this chair. I used it for a while, however, after the while, the shape of the chair started to change. If you are planning to use a chair often, I would advise, that you should look at ikea, or office depot

Sorry, it really doesn't recline that far down. Its still a great chair and very comfortable but if you have back problems, like me, it doesn't recline far enough. I have had to order the higher priced Flash recliner (same as My original purchase) to use and will give this one to a family member. One thing about the Flash chair is that was my original purchase: it lasted close to 15 years of hard use before it gave in. I LOVED that chair.

I'm 5' 11" and sitting on this chair at work. Just tried it and I did not have any problems, no sense at all that it was leaning too far back, but YMMV for you.

It does not recline very far however it is a comfortable amount. It does not become flat. We have had conventional recliners but rarely reclined as much as possible. hope this helps.

Well I have both this chair and basic wood chairs at my dining table and both are ever so slightly reclined. They have an identical profile from the side view. With the wood chair, you can see the curve of the wood but you don't really notice a recline when sitting in either chair.

The back will only recline on this chair when the foot rest is out. Otherwise you cannot push it back. It does rock (front to back like a rocking chair) when the feet are not up.

No, it does not recline. It actually folds down. The seat lifts up for additonal storage.

It does lean back. But if you're near the weight limit of the chair and actually use it as a full time business chair it starts failing around the 10 month mark. I just got a warranty extension because the seat part deflated and metal spikes came out of the front of the chair.

It doesn't recline flat, I'd say it's probably like 45 degree angle. It's suffice for me when nursing, I don't think I'd ever need it to be totally flat anyways. Either way, I LOVE This chair and love the nursing pillows. They provide lots of flexible options when nursing and you can do different configurations with additional pillows and receiving blankets.

The chair will recline to just a slight incline. I've bought the chair to take to the beach and take it often and it's a wonderful investment. The leg rest works easily and is very comfortable. I get asked often where I purchased this chair.

No, although it tilts back, it isn't a recliner. You can tilt maybe 45 degrees.

The back is slightly slanted at all times. I use it as a nursing chair and have spent LOTS of time in it- I can tell you, it's very comfortable and a good deal for the price.
