How supportive is the back?And if there is nowhere to put the hook on the bottom of the chair, is it unstable?

We haven't used it on bleachers yet. However, with the chair on the floor you can lean back and will be supported. The chair is very sturdy .

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 is really supportive, can lean for comfort and not feel like it will snap, tear or break.Have not been in a situation yet where we did not have a place to hook the bottom of the chair so can't answer that.

Each support rail of the chair has a very rubbery/sticky feeling and is very stable. The chair back has pretty good support. make sure you buy the biggest one, I am 6' tall and it is nice size, heavy though.

I have used mine 3 or 4 times now. The back is very supportive and comfortable. I have only been able to use the hook once, but felt the chair was very stable in all cases. I am a large man... 6'3" and about 280 lbs. I love this chair.

My husband, who uses this chair, is also losing his ability to stay upright due to MS and/or Lyme disease. but the chair still works fine for him. It is rather narrow compared with US-manufactured chairs, so I think that helps in his case and possibly would for you. Also, if it were really an issue, I suppose you could use some kind of strap around our chest to hold you to the seatback. The benefits of this chair compared with all the other chairs out there on the market would outweigh whatever issues your minimal trunk control presents, which I would imagine would be a factor with any other chair out there that doesn't have an inbuilt strapping system. Hope that helps.

This chair is very stable. My 3.5 year old has been using it ever since he could walk (and climb) and it has never come close to tipping over. The foot rest provides a very stable platform for the child to place their foot and give themselves a push up to the chair. Overall, I wouldn't say it is a tipping hazard at all.

I am a large woman (300 lbs) and it has no trouble supporting me. Now and then the legs need to be tightened back up, but other than that it is a great chair. I use it as a desk chair and since I work from home 4 days a week, it gets quite a bit of use! I have had it for almost a year now and it has held up to daily use VERY well!

The tension on the side straps when you sit down causes the back portion to be somewhat supportive. My husband loves these chairs because they are lightweight and easy to carry. Personally, I would prefer something with MORE support for the back, but the chairs that tend to be most supportive are heavy. So, it's a trade off.

Possibly, but the greatest support is on the seat bottom which has bungee cords underneath for extra support. The back rest is just canvas with no extra support.

Hello, it's supportive enough that you don't sink, but it's also a beach/lounge chair. No lumbar support. Also the head area has a cushion to cover the opening so you are supported.

The back is adjustable, and the chair can rock. However, I would not advise you to buy this chair. I used it for a while, however, after the while, the shape of the chair started to change. If you are planning to use a chair often, I would advise, that you should look at ikea, or office depot

In this type of seat, it's your own body weight that is keeping the back up, as long as the straps don't break. It's not really supportive like a regular chair, but it's enough that you can relax and not have to hold yourself up.

It leans back slightly. I have a pillow on it to support my back when I sit in it. It is a little "tippy" if you try to sit on the front edge. It is a nice chair but not for heavy use.

There really isn't any appreciable back support on the seat. The rockers themselves seem to be fairly stable though and we haven't had any incidents yet of it wanting to flip over.

Yes, it is supportive. But, certainly not the kind of comfort that you will expect from a high back chair.

The back doesn't have to be all the way down to the seat to provide support. There is a 3 inch gap between the seat and back on mine, and it the bottom of the back hits me mid-buttocks, completely supporting the back.

HiI don't think the back support can be adjusted. The chair back can be adjusted.

My daughter uses this chair, she is about 6 inches off the ground when sitting in the chair. It does not have a ton of back support just an FYI.

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.

No, the back is not sturdy unless it is against a wall...the back is very low for even short folks.
