Can the back of the chair lean back without the foot rest popping up?? Or do they act in tandem?

They work in tandem, you have to release the foot rest for the back to recline.

The seat and backrest move as one. So the whole thing tilts back, not just the backrest.

Hello Cristian, No this chair does not lean back. It supports your back and is very comfortable but doesn't lean back. I hope I have helped you in your decision.

You just lean back with a little bit more pressure than you would leaning against it normally, and it moves the way it should. The back goes back while the front of the seat comes up a bit too (very comfy for putting your feet on your desk if you feel like it). There is also a lever on the side that will lock that function, preventing you from being able to lean back in the chair.

No. Please be cautious before buying this chair. Mine failed 4 days after I received it. My recollection is the leg rest lifts first followed by the reclining of the back.

Yes you can lean back. The jets should be effective except where they might be blocked by the back of the chair.

Mine does not do that but I do not lean back. Possibly the installation screws are not tight enough.

It is possible to have the footrest up without reclining, however, shifting your body can make it start to fall back. There's nothing that really locks the back in a position to keep it from reclining. I've found that as I sit in the chair with the footrest up, the back will slowly start to go back when I shift or move. It's not hard to adjust, though, to bring it back up to where I want it. I've also found that putting a pillow behind my head while having the back fully reclined, gives me a chance to see the TV, but I often fall asleep in that position.

Not really, you just need to attach the removable footrests. No special skills required. Very good sturdy chair.

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

Yes. You can also set the bottom third portion to angle down to the ground so that when you're on your back, your legs can naturally bend at the knee. The chair has several positions.

I never counted how many positions there are. However, the bacl csn go sll thr esy doen. You Back can stop at any point before it is level. The foot rest is only one level--either up or all the way down like a regular chair. I use it mostly to get up from the chair.

I personally am too short to make the chair lean back, my feet barely touch the floor. However, my husband did figure out that it has a slight recline if you just lean back. Not sure exactly how much of a recline but, I would estimate somewhere around 5-10 degrees back from upright

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.

The entire chair reclines. Meaning the back support hinges back, at the same time the foot rest raises. Other than that, there is no secondary adjustment. I hope this helps.

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.

Not separately, but you can sit upright with feet elevated if you stop it before it goes back.
