Yes, they are very stable. No issues with feeling as though it may tip over. Very comfortable chair but does not recline totally flat as some other chairs I have used.

We like the chairs, they do lock in place and are very stable and nice looking too.

No. its was fairly easy to install and stays in place. It didn't seem like it would but it is stable.

I've owned it for 6 months and weigh roughly 300 lbs. You can definitely see it is a little pushed down towards the back now, but the chair itself has held up well. It does sometimes creak a little when getting in or out, but nothing seems to have broken. The heavier you are the harder it will probably be to keep the chair in one position though - you might find yourself constantly tightening the knob on the side, as I do.

No, it does not lock. You can adjust the height setting to make it easier to balance your weight. I would imagine it would be quite dangerous to have a locking position.

It doesn't lock on like many others do. As long as you feel it settle into place you are fine. This threw me for a loop at first as well.

I have no problems with it being stable. It doesn't tip(unless all your weight is on one edge). Or bounce/shift under you. And I have balance and depth perception issues! So I think you'll be safe.

The chair is pretty sturdy and I don't think you would fall over the back. This chair is used primarily by my 12 year old son but I think it is comfortable for adults too. Just keep in mind it's low so that might affect your comfort.

I purchased this chair for a co-worker who is under 300#. I weigh about the same as you...and I tried it out. It felt comfortable, AFTER the warehouse staff made some adjustments. My main concern would be the "tilt" feature. It kept feeling like the chair was slanting forward and going to dump me out in the floor...not a good feeling! I purchased a chair by the same company (also from Amazon) that was made for up to 500 lbs. This has been a great chair for me. I have not had any problems with it. It feels really secure.

I weigh 285 and it seems to handle me just fine. The chair does tip forward when I have it fully reclined and lean forward to grab something. This is not a problem though if you put the chair back in the upright position. I am happy with the chair and would buy it again so far. I did not look to see what the chair was made out of but it seems solid and my backrest is still tight. If you are concerned, get the 5 year, everything covered, insurance upon purchase. Then if it falls apart on you, file the insurance claim and they will fix or replace it.

No.....it isn't weighted but I don't have a problem with it falling over....I set it on a plastic container to get extra height so I don't have to bend over and I love it!!

No -- It does not lock into place. However, when you put your foot on it it does not rock back and forth. It has big enough surface that it is stable. I hope this helps. I am a petite woman and I really like mine. I should add that it may not be stable for others who weigh more than I do.

Really not sure. But I'm 220lbs and holds my weight fine. Doesn't feel shaky or unsturdy.

It's supposed to be stable but I added sway bracing to firm it up. May have not been required, but I just felt safer. I can't post a picture.

No - it is amazingly secure with no movement once tightened. I use it everyday with no issues.

You can feel the board that holds the top together when you sit on it unless you sit on the edge you will feel pretty unstable. My 40 pound son jumps on it though.
