Can the back of the chair be removed if desired (to function like a stool)?

Yes, they actually didn't sent the back of chair and so till they shipped it we used it as stool.

Yes. The entire footrest can be easily removed. In fact, I can do it myself from my chair if necessary

The table and stool legs could be removed or dismantled, they are held together on the inside/underside with hex screws, so if you have the correct size hex wrench the legs are removable.

There should be a cap about the same diameter as the actual leg of the stool and then there will be another cap inside of that which is not supposed to be removed. It is part of the apparatus that lifts and lowers the seat.

Yes the back has two adjustable lengths and is easy to remove by just pressing two buttons on bottom of chair.

The fabric part of the chair does not come off, so you would have to cover the front and back side with a plastic cover that slides over the chair.

I suppose if you removed them, however it may make it difficult to sit in because as the chair reclines the position would be very uncomfortable.

The fabric on it was stapled under the rim so I don't think you can remove the top. It isn't the kind that will pop off like my dining chairs do for recovering. I hope this helps.

While the chairs' arms can be removed, you would be sacrificing the engineering integrity of the chair and the back would likely break and fall off.

Yes back comes off should be no problem. Sent this to my 84 year old blind dad he had no problem. I saw the recliner 4 months later in person very nice chair.

I'm pretty sure you can't remove the foot rest. If I remember correctly I called the company when I first got the chair and they said you can't. The foot rest is too high for me so I stopped using the chair.

It doesn't appear removable. I use a pillowcase over it as a cover to absorb any butt-sweat. There are screws attaching the bottom plate which the fabric goes under, and which the legs (very solid legs) are attached to. I wouldn't want to potentially mess anything up by unscrewing it. Usually if the fabric is removable, there would be a zipper or velcro or something that would allow easier removal, but this chair has none.

Yes...but you would need to use the footrest to at least take some weight off the chair....the chair is well worth the money.

I suppose it can be re-installed backward. I just looked at it. The installation clips are screwed on at both sides at the back. There is a same sized bar at the front to use the clips there. I am unsure if the seat might lift from the back if you sat too far forward. I see no reason that you couldn't move the clips from one side to the other. It's important that the seat should be lifted from one side or the other for cleaning.

Yes you can. I just tried it before I posted this response. The chair is great other than the seat padding. It wears down really fast, but other than that I'm satisfied! I am very picky about my office equipment, and being on a budget, this was a good find.

Yes you can remove the back but I have not removed the side arms for safety reasons.

Not without some modification. The casters are drilled into the leg of the chair; the casters could possibly be removed; however, if you did that, you would need to do something to the bottom of the leg. In my opinion, it might weaken the integrity of the bottom of the leg. I woudn't do it. These chairs are extremely well constructed.
