No cross bars. Locks into Amy position from upright to nearly flat on your back while keeping your legs slightly bent in the ergonomic position of the wave.

This chair is the best! The fabric is very durable, and fading is not nearly as bad as with other chairs. The best part is that you can lock it in any position, because the lock really works! My only regret is not buying 4-5 of these when they were available in 2020. Please, please, please bring them back!
