Can the legs be lifted while the back remains stationary (eg. watching TV), and then continue to the recline position?

I bought this chair for my mother. I believe that you can raise he legs and then if you continue to press the button the back begins to recline...so you can sit up straight with your legs up!

It's preset position (not independent) for both legs & back. As you recline, the legs go up 1st til reach ~80% then back tilts so that if legs fully up you're probably about a 10-20% back recline. Then proceeds from there to full back recline. We've found using a pillow behind helps if want the legs full up.

The answer is "kind of". You can have the footrest up and not be fully reclined. But you are somewhat reclined. For instance I'm in the chair right now sitting up watching TV but too far back to eat if I wanted to lean over my plate. Note that if you are a heavy person the chair back might recline whether you like it or not. The angle is controlled by your body pressure, not a lever. You pull the lever to get the footrest up, then use your back pressure to adjust the angle of recline. I'm 150 pounds and it's not a problem, but I read other reviews on here where people said their husbands are heavy so the back goes back when they put the footrest up.

Yes there is support in a reclining position...otherwise is like a normal chair.

If the foot rest is set properly it rights back up by simply moving your arms back to in front of you. Very easy once it is set.

I don't believe so. There is a handle on the right side of the chair (under the arm) that I use to recline the chair.

No, feet are not higher than your heart when reclining.You can rock the chair and momentarily be in zero gravity.

It's not a formal adjustment, but yes you can position it a bit by moving the back leg forward and back. In the photo they show it is at full recline, but you can shimmy it up closer to the base to have your iPad rest more vertically. The base back leg is rubberized so it should stay in place but there is no formalized click or anything to have it click into various resting levels.

That would not be comfortable, even if using the stool backwards. You could scoot back farther so the legs are closer, the legs would not be together.

No, it is not high enough to watch TV or read a book. use to raise my legs while sitting in recliner

Sorry about that. Mine also seems to stay "locked" only in the semi-reclined position. But I never fully recline it as I don't want that position. I use it for watching tv only. I do feel that the price and looks are worth every penny. I guess it depends on what one purchases it for. We purchased two and love them. We have limited space, needed the orange color, and wanted something attractive. They aren't over-sized, homely, and dowdy looking like most recliners.

No it is set in a fixed position by tightening. It would have to be loosened rotated and tightened again to hold the TV.

The seat can be adjusted back and forward to accommodate the length of your legs. It has one of those pin mechanisms that u pull up and then you can lengthen your foot reach. But the seat does not tilt back and I was a little disappointed it was not as reclined as I hoped. However that was just me being lazy girl lol and after a week I was used to it and thankful it was more seated upright because I do feel its the reason my joints don't hurt after a while. Just so u know I am new to excersizing and hate it so this is beginners advice. But happy this sits in front of my TV and now i am enjoying to exercise more. Lol :))

It does not recline. Its not very comfortable - there is a bar directly under your legs.

No. You just lean back against it and it reclines. Very comfortable and easy

No, but if you reversed position (head where feet would normally go), you could lie on your tummy but your legs would be elevated. It is a terrific piece and I use it for relaxing and reading and the occasional snooze.

No, only up or down, but the arm rests themselves are amply long enough so backward/forward is not a factor.

Yes the seat back can be reclined back seperately while the seat stays flat or you can recline both together.
