Can these lounge chairs be upright so as to read a book?

I purchased a set of these lounge chairs for my daughter, so I needed to ask her. Here is her reply "Yes you can--not straight up and down, but you could read a book." Hope that helps.

Depends on the readers comfort. They won't go to a full 90 degrees but you'll sit at about 70 degrees at the most upright position

I'm currently using them as dining chairs. They're moderately comfortable, but I am considering buying pillows to place on the seats to add height.

Yes, I use mine in a recliner all the time. I was having problems with my wrist from holding a heavy book. The problem is gone and I use my book seat all the time for both books of all sizes and my iPad and mini iPad. My husband now uses one and my friends are buying them. you can balance the book seat any way you want

I think it would depend on the size of the book. I personally don't keep it in the most upright position because it gets a little wobbly.

The short answer is no. The major flaw in this product is the deck. Its not deep enough...there's not enough of it. It's not good for thicker books because the pages sag below the deck. But it's better than not having any bookstand! Also, there's a matter of the metal page holders which sometimes require both hands to navigate. Hope this helps!

This would work, but if you really want to read, get the one with the leg rest! Ultimate lounging for reading!

You can but your feet would hang off the edge since their is a built in backrest on the lounger.

Yes! They are sturdy enough for books and easily assembled and look great for the price.

You would need something so they can stay upright and stationary. Amazon sells a battery operated plastic kind that would work better based on your inquiry.

hi, maybe, i'm not sure...i found a very small table top, put a few big books under it, and it's fine....just find the height that you feel comfy and go from there...i use the pictured item in my armchair sometimes, for reading as well...good luck !

Yes, I have a chaise lounge style chair below the lamp and it is perfect for reading.

No. This is a light folding chair. Leaning on it to stand up is a bad idea.

Hi, If they tilt back a bit yes, but if they stand straight up, no. Tilting back allows you to thumb through for pages and Jennifer McGuire says stand them upside down so you can thumb through the pages. If you pack them in tight, then the answer is no. Funny, I had not thought of putting them in there, but now I will.

Probably. The book would likely be too flimsy to stand on its own, so you'd have to use the arms on the bottom that flip up and press the pages down, but it would probably work fine. (I use them now for my texts and really like the bottom arms.)

Yes, as long as the book or paper can be sufficiently propped open. Someone might have to set page holders, if they are needed. It may also be best on a table or hard surface.

NO! This chair has a very big recline to it. You are almost laying down when just sitting in it. While it is comfortable, it is not the best chair for sitting upright. Not even in a living room setting. I actually had to make a new back cushion for it that made the chair a little more upright. Also, if you have carpet in the room, the chair will not rock. I tried getting a small thin rug for underneath to protect my wood floors, but the chair would not rock.

Yes but the cushions are more comfortable. You didn't ask but I will tell you there is no way to level the chair leg. Poor design.
