Can the back of the chair be removed if desired (to function like a stool)?

Yes, they actually didn't sent the back of chair and so till they shipped it we used it as stool.

Yes. The entire footrest can be easily removed. In fact, I can do it myself from my chair if necessary

The seat cushion is not removable unless you take the stool apart. However, the cushion is very stain resistant and very easy to clean. We have been extremely happy with the purchase.

It would be easy to remove as it is assembleb. However would probably impact the stability of the side legs!!

I am not sure how to remove the back but since it had to be assembled (put on) when I got it, it should be fairly easy to disengage. There are instructions with the chair.

Thanks for your interest in the stool. I don't have one to look at right now but I am confident the seat can be removed with screws from the bottom to replace material.ThanksRussell WestWest Furnishings

Hello Mr. Bird, I don't know. However, logically I THINK it may because it comes disassembled so just don't put the back on! You may already know that this chair is also avail. as a stool. Question, why buy the back if you don't want it? www.wayfare.com was the supplier when I bought the back styled one. If you don't find the stool on Amazon you may wish to shop there. I hope this was helpful. I've had this for a year or two now and love it with the back. It is so comfortable and affords complete freedom of motion. I'm not selling...just reviewing! Have a good day.

Yes you can assemble it without the back. I bought it and I love the back on mine. Great stool.

No it can not be removed. Mine came with a dirty spot and I did not see it till a month later. I tried to spot clean it and have not got the spot out yet. I will try and clean it again. Love the chair. Mary

Sure there is. Just remove the seat from the swivel platform. (4 screws). Recover with whatever material or pattern you like.

Yes, the back is removable. You can take it out or replace it very easily. But, when it has been inserted it is very secure and would not fall out without using two hands and more than just a little effort to pull it out. I am a large person and I have no trouble with the chair.

It can be removed. I am pretty sure that it can be replaced as well. The company has been pretty good in replacing items. The chair arrived with a plastic piece broken and the company immediately agreed to sent a replacement piece. We haven't had any problems since. We remove the cushion on a regular basis to clean it.

I'm pretty sure you can't remove the foot rest. If I remember correctly I called the company when I first got the chair and they said you can't. The foot rest is too high for me so I stopped using the chair.

yes, the back can wiggle back and forth, actually the chair had another use, for me..I used it as a kind of a scooter,to get around my apartment, when I had foot surgery

You can drop the back and do decline situps. It is bolted to the fram so not easily removed

No, the back is not removable. If it were, I would not have bought it--for safety reasons.

It would ruin the overall integrity of the chair. The back would become wobbly real quick I believe. I am not a certified structural engineer but I believe this would happenHope this helps
