The back is rigid. I don't know to answer the other question. It would depend on the chair. My experience with it continues to be the best I have ever tried.

Yes. You will sit slightly higher than average, but it does not affect motion.

Absolutely not. I think it is misrepresented. There is no back support whatsoever.

No. It is not. It did not go low enough for me and was worse than most chairs. I gave it away.

The chair rocks. It is not a stiff upright chair. I can rock back if I choose but it does not recline. The ability to rock back alleviates the pressure on the back always being in one stiff position.

The back can be made to have a slight rocking or still position. Its a fairly stationary back unless you want to rock. I would say no to your question.Hoped I helped.

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

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).

No. The only movement there is, is the seat height adjustment. I'm sitting in it now and tried to tilt it back and it's comfortably rigid. Hope this helps!

The back is held up by the arms only. So no, unless you want an armless and backless chair :P

Yes but your expectations for "back as far upright as possible" and "front tilted down" may or may not be met. Guessing that with the seat tilted down as far as possible the back is still less than a 90 degree "as far upright as possible" position however it's comfortable and does keep the pressure off the back of legs if that's what you are looking for. My disappointment with this chair is the lack of height...anyone over about 5'6" may not find this chair's max height adequate.

Unfortunately it is pretty rigid. I didn't realize that until I received it.

I have two of these chairs. On mine the back can be adjusted up so at the highest the top of the seat back is 28.5-inches above the seat. For me that hits at the top of my neck/base of my head.

No, the back does not tilt by its' self. The seat and back do tilt back together.

it's high enough for you, but beware of the wooden cylindrical piece at the back between the chair support plate and the bottom support plate (next to the back bolt) mine broke the first day

There's a slight curve to it. And the back is not completely upright. Seems to be designed on an obtuse angle. I've had this chair for 3 or so years. It's comfy and goes w everything.

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
