Can this chair be safely used without the back?

I would think that by nature, if there is no back, then there is the possibility of slipping/leaning too far backward. I would not do it. We found this by far the most supportive bath chair.

Yes the chair can be safely assembled without the included arem or can be ordered armless if you prefer.

Scott P. should be informed that the chair is not returnable once it is assembled. I was informed of this policy after assembling the chair and discovering that the back was not adjustable to a comfortable position. So we gave the chair to GoodWill -- never able to use it. I'm sorry I don't know if the arms can be left off. I would think probably so, but the larger issue for me and my husband was that the chair was not comfortable to sit on at all.

You can use the chair without the arms to give more room for those who are wider. As for secure it depends on the person if they can manage without the arms. Otherwise the chair is stable without the airs.

Yes, if you remove the two screws that secure the back, it will slide off.The seat itself is not removable.

Yes you can. You just push back on the arms and it is hiden against the back of the chair. I love this product.

I don't think it would work without headrests. I can't think of any way to hold up the back without them.

No, the back is not removable. If it were, I would not have bought it--for safety reasons.

Yes, the back is removable. You can take it out or replace it very easily. But, when it has been inserted it is very secure and would not fall out without using two hands and more than just a little effort to pull it out. I am a large person and I have no trouble with the chair.

I do not think so. I think the arms are important for stabilizing the chair back.

The chair is very comfortable and we'll worth it for the price. I have not measured it but don't see an issue with a tight back.

I don't think so. We no longer have the chair as it was unsafe for my husband to use with his very limited mobility.

the chair arrives with the back off. It attaches firmly and securely. I'm not sure of your question but if you are asking if the back falls off during use, no, it is firmly attached.

Yes the chair back needs to be attached to the chair bottom. I did it all by myself without any problems I really love this chair. Looks great!

I suppose you could put it together without the arms? I find the chair comfortable, in contrast to what others have said. No forward tipping at all.

My guess is that it couldn't. The back is simply fabric. There is no rigid back.
