I have to have a straight up back, is this chairs straight up or on a slant?

It'd pretty straight but the back has a slight indentation due to the padding on the chair. I think in an upholstered chair you won't find much any straighter; you'd need a wood chair for that kind of rigidity. My husband has two of these chairs and he finds them very comfortable and he loves them.

the chair is straight up and very comfortable. My husband had trouble with other chairs that were not comfortable when sitting straight up but this one has met all his needs.

You can control the backrest independent of the footrest. The back can be adjusted to have only a slight recline. It is not truly straight up but may feel that way.

It can be put in a straight position, if so desired. however, it can be in a reclining one or any other you choose

The back raises and lowers independently from the footrest, so it can be as straight up or as reclined as you want. However, when using the chair to raise up into a standing position or lower into a seated position, once the footrest is completely down, the entire chair continues to rock forward. Once the footrest is completely up, the entire chair will continue to rock back. If you are using the back in the most upright position, the back may end up leaning forward (see the photo of it raising), but it will rock back into just the upright position when you sit down again. You can also leave the footrest down and use the chair like a regular chair rather than a recliner. The controls are easy to reach and easy to use.

The edges at the top of the back of the chair that stick up on either side are squared on the back edge and rounded on the front. I would not say the back edge is sharp but they are squared, not rounded. The horizontal piece that goes across the top is rounded.

This chair does not lay flat. As you recline the bottom of the chair raises.

The seat is about 19" from front to back. The top of the back is also slanted back at a decent angle.

This chair is very comfortable sitting straight which we like as we work; however, it will recline also but not significantly. We are totally happy with our purchase.

No, it's not slanted forward. It's a perfectly normal little bench. Just make sure you reinforce the wall where you are going to attach it, because it's going to support your whole weight. I did it when I remodelled by bathroom, so it was easy to plan.

It should be positioned so your pelvis is tilted slightly forward, unless you have a herniated disc. In which case, the chair won't help with your back problems, and might even aggravate them. With the forward pelvic tilt, your spine should feel both straight and relaxed.

in my opinion, you're half way between sitting upright and reclined. if you scoot your backside forward in the sling (chair) you're more reclined...if you position your backside more towards the center/back, you'll sit up more. our chair doesn't hang and look like a seat like the picture does. if you saw it, it just looks like a blue thing hanging in a heap, but then again, we don't use the pillows. maybe that helps to define it more? regardless, i enjoy sitting in it.

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.

Hello there.. we bought these chairs a few months back. These chairs do have a curved back side to side, but are pretty comfortable for us, even when sitting for a couple of hours. Hope this helps!

It has a slight slant to the back. I did end up sending couch back. Some of the mechanics on the recliner to the right was broken and the couch had a odor of smoke.

We kind of tilted it sideways and put the "legs" in first then the back. I strongly recommend you get an ottoman with this chair if you are using it in a nursery, because of the low back and narrow with it is not as comfortable nursing purposes as we had hoped. The Ottoman would give you a way to lean back. As are regular chair is fine, comfortable and good looking, as a nursing care, I would rethink.

The chairs both rock and swivel - more swivel. They rock slightly. Thanks for your interest - BestDealsInc

I would consider them to be a straight-backed chair. Comfortable and perfect for dining.

They slant slightly outward. It's very sturdy and performed well in a 10" space.

They don't get perpendicular to the chair seat , but they do raise up approx. 90% of the way up. And the Leg rests are not "cheap", they are Very sturdy. Hope this helps you out. I have had this chair for almost two years now and the only thing that I've had to replace is the Vinyl seat and back (Cause my Hubby uses this chair many times each day , and sometimes sleeps in it)~Blessings

I think that is an optical illusion. I notice no slant to our seat. We love it.
