Hello, it seems that if you recline back the armrests will start folding and the back will fold flat. Can you lean back and have the back stay up?

I'm 110 lbs neither the back or the arms on the chair collapsed when I lean all the way back.

Yes. You have to push on them when you want to make the chair flat, and they stay in place while using the chair. The back ratchets into different angles and you push the back all the way forward to release the mechanism and then pull it back to flat.

It does seem possible that this could happen. However, I am a big girl and it has not happened to me so far.

Our chair does not have adjustable arm rests. It almost looks like it should be adjustable because I see notches on the main frame, but there is no way to move the arm rests. I think the non-Basic models have the 'button (whatever it's called)' to adjust (the little round thing you see in SOME of the photos), but ours doesn't. Looks like they used a photos of some non-basic models while advertising a Basic model. Anyhow, hope this helps!.

hi, no the arm rests are not reversible. that is the worst part about the chair, the arm rests are very short. since I have owned it, a piece has also broke off the plastic holding the seat part, but the chair is still functional. it has served it purposes for almost a year now, but I have since upgraded to another chair; would recommend purchasing a sturdier product for long term (more than year) use.

Hello, the chairs on this set don't recline. They do fold inwards for easy storage. thank you for your inquiry.

It doesn't go flat, it goes pretty far into a recline. The canopy can stay completely down (fits behind the chair back) and ratchets up in increments from almost vertical to down pretty low over the chair. It's a great chair, extremely comfortable in many settings.

There is no provision for the seat back cover to circumvent the armrests. The stretchy material covers the back and sides of the seat, and would require that the armrest be removed and reinstalled after the seat cover is in place. They do have a velcro opening at the top for headrests.

No the backrest folds flat so it ends up as the tabletop. It makes the half the size of a picnic table. We did not want a full table and this was perfect. Easy to fold also

Mine is definitely tilting, and it has gotten progressively worse over time. I feel like I'd fall out of the chair if the armrest weren't there. I think mine had a defect when it was new, but it was minor then and I was too lazy to return. In hindsight, I wish I had.

Hi! Yes it does "recline" a little. It's not as much as I would like it to, but it does lean back enough to take the pressure off your low back. I hope that helps... The "leatherette" is starting to show some wear on the head cushion and on the arms. No holes, just wearing. I wish I knew how to soften and treat the arms. But for the price I paid, I think we got our value's worth for how long I've had it..

You do not have to put the arm rests up. They can invert so it actually adds to the seating part. My husband can go from 260 to about 300 and he is fine. These seats are absolutely awesome to sit in.

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.

The chair does not lay flat so you are able to lay on your back, but not on your stomach. The whole chair tilts back like a recliner, it does not fold flat.

1. Make sure the two little rings of plastic under the arms are in the "unlocked" position, which is lifted up towards the armrest. When they are down toward the frame of the chair they lock the position in whatever incline it's currently in. 2. To recline: Put your feet on the foot bar at the floor. Push down and outward with your feet while you also lean back into the chair with your back. Your weight will slide this chair into a reclined position. 3. To go back to an upright position, lean forward and bend your knees to pull your feet back, like you would in a Barc-a-lounger.

I just purchased and received this chair and I'm having the same problem with the back of the chair slowly falling back flat when the footrest is up, I figured out that if I don't put the footrest up the back of the chair is locked in place and doesn't move...soooooo.....I went on Amazon and purchased an Ottoman footrest for those times when I want the back of the chair to stay put.

Based on the answers of others, I will have to double check the recline feature. There is a way to tilt the seat back but it's ever so slightly. I wouldn't consider it a recline. I will have to check out the seat in the car again. I'm using it with the harness. Thanks for asking the question!

Both the loveseat and the couch recline (not rock) to almost a laying flat position but unless you adjust backwards on the seat it wont stay locked flat. Also my first one had a defect and they came and picked it up and delivered a new one for free. With my prime membership

It appears that your feet are level with you heart when it is fully reclined. Yes, it has a lock (under the armrests) to keep it in position!
