Can anyone tell me how high the backs are? Like where does the top of the back land on you if you lean back. Average sized person. Thanks.

The backs come up approximately to the bottom of an adults shoulder blades. The stools are very comfortable and have worn well. I bought them for a family with three children a few years ago, and despite a rugged workout, they are still in good shape.

The back is 17" tall. I'm about 5'7" & it hits my upper back (I hate to say bra line height, but that's the most accurate description I can think of). They are very comfortable chairs.

Right under the shoulderblades. These are just about perfect in my opinion. :)

HI Jason, I bought this about 3 months ago and love it. I'm 5' 11". If you notice the small strap up top, that will align under your chest and waist fits accordingly. I have twin daughters - both about 22 Pounds - they love it, doesn't impact my back negatively in any way. One feature I like is underneath the babies seat are tightening straps which raise and lower the level of the baby to sit up higher or lower. Definitely recommend. Let me know if you need anything else. Joe jhargett@graebel.com

I've had mine a few days now. I'm 6'1" and 300 lbs... this chair is holding me up with zero problems. I was very worried when I was putting it together, but it's wonderful. I shift now and again, as a lot of my weight is displaced to my shins, but I find it's perfectly fine if I shift to where my knees take the weight- and even simply bring my feet out to the sides- and though it has casters, it doesn't just roll out from under me or anything. Getting used to it isn't nearly as awkward as expected. Love love love it.

I'm 5'11" and they aren't the best to sit on for long periods of time. Pillows help and if you slouch down and put your feet up there's no problem. But they are pretty low in the back.

2 recline postions. as you see in the pic, there is a slight recline, but then push back more and you are almost in a lying postion, which we love that. these are pretty narrow so anyone weighing over 250 pounds may be a tight squeeze. I suggest anyone 230 or less to sit and recline comfortably. thanks, cp

My mother is about 5'2" and weighs 180, so a little chunky. I got the 18" and it works great as we use a gel seat and pillows on the sides. You can have the back slightly tilted back so her center of gravity keeps her from falling forward. I consider it one of the best investments I have made for her. It has held up very well.

I sort of agree with all the other posts here from Nov 2013. I'm approx 5'6 and have the backrest adjusted for the lumbar fairly low that fits my comfort. When I tilt my head back it rests on the top of the plastic rim/edge of the backrest. So this is not a head support that is comfortable. If I raise the backrest a little higher (giving up optimum lumbar for MY body), then I have a little more of the backrest to use for my head. If a headrest is a major criteria for your purchase, you could raise the backrest higher up to have more to rest on. If ultimate lumbar and headrest are a criteria, then I would look for a chair with a taller backrest or a headrest attachment. I sort of agree with all the other posts here from Nov 2013.

"smallness" is a relative descriptor. if you are endowed with a very large backside, I can see it being an issue. I think my backside is pretty average (male). It fits the seat just fine. only have a small issue with getting proper seat height and tilt. at first had a tendency to slide forward and had to keep scooting back. adjustments are making it better.

Mostly shoulders. You have to lean to rest your head but I am tall. I would say under 5'10" and you could rest your head.

Not as big as you'd think. My wife and I have a hard time sitting with our backs to the back rest. Admittedly we both were endowed with bigger than average booties, but I still feel like this barstool would feel a bit cramped for most people.

No...it's actually very comfortable and you don't feel anything pressing up against you. At the same time, I'm not that tall (5'2-1/2") so I don't have that much of my back unsupported. Hope that helps!

I have the same problem. I am an "hourglass" shaped woman, 147 lbs, and my butt and legs spill over the edges of the Backjoy posture relief, which doesn't allow me to use it properly. Did you find something that does work for you? I like the concept and think it could help... at a larger size!

The back seems fairly supportive. I lean back on it...but not with all my body weight. I sit normally and am comfortable. As for the stability of the chair...the hooks are best. But... I have used it without the hooks to try it out. The bottom is rubberized so it stays fairly stationary. If you are a wiggle worm you might end up on the floor. If you sit normally you should be comfortable and stay put!

The back adjusts fine. I have no problems with it at all . It is very comfortable for me. Remember everyone is different.

Not good if you're overweight. I'm 5'9" muscular but not too lean and they really hug the upper back tightly. Any tighter and they would be uncomfortable. These seats are for smaller and definitely thinner people.

@Brenda C. Not at all. Just to give u a general idea, whenever I lean back against it, my head barely reaches the top of the headboard and I'm 5'7.. its amazingggggg!!!
