Does this chair lean back?

Yes, it will lean back. It has three positions you can lock it in (full upright/approx 15 degrees/approx 30 degrees) or leave it unlocked and use the spring tensioner for support.. The tension on the seat-back mechanism is enough to give some support and will also assist you when you wish to return to full upright. The locking mechanism is easily accessed and works well. At 230 lbs and 6ft tall I am able to use this chair with confidence.

The back-rest leans backward, but the seat portion does not lean back with the back-rest. There are three basic controls on the chair. One raises or lowers the height, another locks/unlocks the seat-back for leaning, and another allows the seat portion to adjust forward/backward. The arm-rests also can be adjusted up or down.

Yes, you can put it on your back and lean back against the chair you are sitting in, or you can lay on it also.

No, it does lean back according to your weight, but it is not intended to be a rocker.

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

Yes. My husband loves it. He has steel rods in his back and has found it difficult to sit in certain chairs. His only complaint is it doesn't lean back very much.

It can be set to completely upright or to lean back. I prefer the straight backed chair, so I have it completely upright. There is lumbar support, which I need for my lower back and it is ideal.

Yes, it does. Best purchase ever. If kiddo is not watched, he/she can push the chair backwards, as with any chair.

I own a "ball chair" that does this. I bought one with a back which I don't like b/c I lean back too often defeating my good posture.

You can lean back in the chair. However, the chair does not have any back support other than a layer of cardboard. So, when you lean back the back of the chair will bend.

My chair does not lean forward. I am satisfied with this chair for the price.

Well, it leans back but it doesnt lock into a laid back position. However, you can lock it in vertical positions (making the seat higher or lower).

Yes it doesn't let you lean all the way down, like a bed. It only goes part way, but I find it comfortable for my lower back problem.

It does not recline to my knowledge. I returned the chair because it was smaller than I expected.

NO. Arms are a integral part of the ability of the chair back to lean backwards. I would suggest that, if you have not already made the purchase, to consider that this chair does not act like a conventional office chair. It does not lean backward by pushing your body backwards. One must release the mechanism to allow only the back of the chair to lean backward. The seat remains stationary flat. If I had an opportunity to reconsider, I would not have purchased this chair.
