Do you sit upright in this chair or is it more of a sling back?

The chair is design with a straight back. However, the design of the actual seat will result in about a 3-5 degree slant when you set down. This is ideal for me. I hope this helps.

Sit upright if you sit all the way back your feet will be dangling unless you're 6' 4" you want to sit with your feet on the ground law bar that runs across in the front will Diggin underneath your legs after a while.

Haven't had an issue with comfort. You can sit up or lay back in the chair. Love the purchase and my kids love it too.

Hi Jim, Your feet are elevated at the same time you lean back it is a smooth action. Also it is very easy to put the feet down just push down on the foot and lean forward. I love my chair.

The back raises and lowers independently from the footrest, so it can be as straight up or as reclined as you want. However, when using the chair to raise up into a standing position or lower into a seated position, once the footrest is completely down, the entire chair continues to rock forward. Once the footrest is completely up, the entire chair will continue to rock back. If you are using the back in the most upright position, the back may end up leaning forward (see the photo of it raising), but it will rock back into just the upright position when you sit down again. You can also leave the footrest down and use the chair like a regular chair rather than a recliner. The controls are easy to reach and easy to use.

The entire chair reclines. The back on this particular chair in locked in one position. I don't find it a problem though... I think it is comfortable.

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.

It is adjustable from a sitting to a reclining position. You just move the stoppers on the rope to angle the chair to the position that is comfortable for you.

Probably nothing. I've had this chair for 2yrs now and and only have a small problem with the q of the right arm rest bolts coming loose. I tighten it once in awhile and its fine and it's fine. The chair is ver comfortable and I like how high the back is. I have recently had spine surgery in the lower back and this chair has a lumbar pad that allows my back to sit comfortably without overstretching it. Thoe only thing I wish this chair did better is have more padding on the arm/elbow rests

No, it's either upright or bed position. With that being said I'm impressed withthe quality of the build. It is very good for maintaining proper posture, but if you want to relax you'll want some throw pillows. I paid $420 and feel it was quite a bargain. Hope that helps!

I have no idea what the previous people answering are talking about. This is not a "sling" seat. Each side sits level whether you have 1 or 2 kids in it. I think they just don't know what a "sling" seat is. However, it's not padded, so you may want to use a small pillow or padding to make your kids more comfortable.The flooring is fabric, but more stiff/rugged than the rest of the unit. Easily cleaned and just fine.

It reclines nicely but not completely flat. Yes, it does stay in position. We are pleased with the chair.

Two reclining positions. I wouldn't say you would recline to an absolutely flat on your back position but it's pretty close and moving from one position to the other is smooth with little effort. I've sat in some recliners that I require considerable effort pushing with your feet and back of your calf to move it back into an upright position so you can get out of the chair. This one is much easier to transition without it slipping on it's own accord. We are quite pleased with these chairs and for the price, you can't really beat it. They do not look cheap at all and have a contemporary style to them.

Its upright, but i find that the back rest is very far back so can be akward. I bought a back arch within the first week

This is a Good Chair and i seat upright on it and my butt is higher that my knees. I had a hip replacement and that is why i got this chair. But at the beach i am not sure about this chair it is a tall chair. I am 5-6 it maybe easy to fall over side to side. But again it is a good well built chair.

You can sit in an upright position, but because of the chair's shape you might not find an upright position comfortable after awhile unless you personally have no problem sitting like that for extended periods of time. I mainly use it for reading outside on my patio or just pure relaxation when the weather is nice. I hope my answer helped out a little bit.

I am 5' 8" and let's just say I am about what you weigh. Being that you have a few inches height on me you might find it more comfortable than I have. The back pushes you forward some and I find myself "fighting" with it. In all honesty when I have to replace this chair I will not be buying another like it. I need a straight back situation but this is too forward. I hope this helped.

The tilting action is pretty loose on it. The arm rests are a little low for 8-10 action. Great chair for normal use
