how sturdy is the back of the seat?

Back is the exact same material as the seat, very sturdy, I am very pleased with the whole product.

The back is quite sturdy; it 'snaps' into the back of the seat with two strong tabs. Our elder guests love it. The notch (on both sides of the seat) holds the shower head securely. Love this chair.

I don't know how to quantify this; however, in 10 years of use we have never experienced any problems.

This is a tricky one to answer. I think I would go with the manufacturer's specifications on this. There is such variation between individuals e.g. weight, need for support, pressure exerted on the back of the chair. I think I would let the manufacturer set the limitations. After all. manufacturers are the ones who shoulder liability.

Yes, it's very sturdy. The design is very open and airy so that it doesn't look bulky and heavy. The only trouble I had assembling it was that I was by myself. It's doable but would be easier with someone to help you. Screwing the chair cushion was a little difficult. Over all, I'm happy with it.

My 53 lb. 7 year old son sits on it sometimes, it holds him up pretty well, lol. We tend to pile a lot of stuff on it sometimes, so I think it is pretty sturdy.

It is sturdy. I'm 200 lbs. and not even close to an issue. Welded steel is strong. I'm happy with mine.

Wooden and leather parts seem pretty sturdy. I might be concerned about the strapping in the seat holding up to very large patients. We have had no trouble with our chairs for home use.

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

Yes, very sturdy...though, after a few months use, the webbing at the front edge tends to droop a bit, putting your bum onto the cross bar...Might be correctable.

It is fairly sturdy. You could sit on it. Probably wood, but it was covered with fabric so you can't see it.

I can't say exactly how much weight, but it is very sturdy. My husband weighs over 200 pounds, and he is able to sit on it!

It is pretty sturdy, I have just used it for food and wine, glasses etc, I wouldn't sit on it tho, lol

There really isn't any appreciable back support on the seat. The rockers themselves seem to be fairly stable though and we haven't had any incidents yet of it wanting to flip over.

I think it's pretty sturdy. My husband and I are both satisfied with the quality!

It seems sturdy enough to hold quite a bit, especially if you choose not to attach the feet. I've had friends weighing more than 200lbs sit on it without a problem.

I weigh 130 and feel safe sitting on it. Don't know what it would be rated for, but it's pretty sturdy.

Not sure what the manufacturer says but it's pretty sturdy. I've had them about two years and no issues with a 160-175 lb man sitting on it. Wouldn't go over the 200lb mark though just to be safe.

My friend is 250 pounds and we have no problems. Back support has no issues either. I did find that every year I need to check the screws below the seat. They loosen after heavy use.
