How sturdy is the back rest? can an adult lean back on it? (5' 8")

Honestly, it's not a chair for anyone needing to lean back as the back is about a foot high from the cushion. Sitting for awhile - since you really need to just sit and not lean back - it's comfortable. My grandsons can sit on it comfortably because they either lay across the cushion (the 2-yr old, the 5-yr old and 7-yr old don't really sit anywhere long (!)) but they do use it as their bed, and that's the primary reason I purchased it in the first place. I hope this answers your question!

Yes, you can lean back on it, it does hold. However, it would be low on an adults back. Depending on height, it would be lower back to mid range. I am 5'2" and find it very comfortable and sturdy for movie watching.

The back rest does not sit really high but you can lean onto it. I am 5'7" so it worked for me

The seat is just a few inches off the ground. The back is still long enough to lean back in. I'm 6 ft and can lounge comfortably. However my knees are above my butt, when sitting with my legs bent. Getting up can be a pain.

Two adults can sit on it comfortably without any worry of ita stability being in question, I would say 350 is stable, I cannot vouch for more than that.

Yes, it is sturdy enough for an adult to sit on. I had it at the end of my bed; now I have it in my entry hall. Very versatile piece.

I am 6 foot 5 tall and weigh 280. After assembling a chair and love seat, I subjected them to my considerable bulk in a "drop and flop". Solid as a rock with just enough give in the backrest to be comfortable.

My husband is 5'9" and he enjoys the chair. When he leans back in the chair, the high back supports his head and back. There isn't a head rest when he is sitting straight up (e.g., while typing) but that isn't an issue for him.

It's certainly is strong enough to support a person. I weigh 250 pounds and I sat on it without fear that it would break. Actually due to the depth of the box the curved top makes it more comfortable to sit on.

Yes, we've had for a year and a half and it's quite sturdy-I sit on it all the time :) could probably support two adults with no problem.

It is a pretty sturdy chair. My boyfriend uses it frequently and he is 235 pounds. Very comfortable chair. I love it!

I'm 5'5" and can sit comfortably with my feet on the floor and my back against the back rest. Depending on how long the person's legs are, it should be OK. The more troubling issue is the fact that this item comes with 3-spoke wheels rather than the 8-spoke ones pictured. Some have reported that the wheels can break while the walker is in use.

Yes, it will hold an adult. We did place a piece of plywood cut to fit over the slats. It holds my grown son who weighs 208#.

I couldn't advise. I'm a grown adult around 120 pounds and the chairs are fine for occasional/casual use in a single person's home, but it may not work for heavy traffic (families, eat-in kitchen area). After a few months, I did notice the screws underneath get really loose and need re-tightening.

I'm 5'8" and find it very comfortable. It's ability to flex/lean may be why it seems to accommodate so many different people. I needed to take a break after the first 3-4 hours using it because I felt tired, but I haven't gone back to the office chair since that first day.I don't know if there is a way to raise or lower it. That's a good question for the seller.

It's pretty sturdy and I think it could handle it. 2 full-grown adults have sat on mine without any worries

Not sure about the weight limit it can support, but an average adult could use the bed for sure. It seems pretty robust to me.

It is a total steel construction so it would be sturdy enough. You would need a good mattress or you may feel the steel rods under you. The frame is not going to budge under an adult's weight.

It's fine for adults up to 5'8" and 150 lbs. We got one for my son, but my wife has used it.
