What chair height/style/specs are best w/ and w/o leg extensions? I'm a bigger gal, but I'm only 5'4". What combo works BEST and why for you?

You probably need a stool with adjustable hight as well. With a normal chair you cannot fully benefit from the inclined table position. I'm 5'7" and I'm using a stool.

I use a standard pneumatic barstool which worked great at both heights for me (currently w/ leg extensions). I like slightly different heights for different angles. It's just more flexible when getting the exact position you want.

I bought this for my 5'9" daughter, so I don't know... I'm 5'4" and I use a mall footstool at my office, when needed. If you sit on a chair low enough for your heights, you may be working at an (ergonomically) low position compared to the table/desk height, so a foot stool with a chair raised appropriately might be better for you anyway. The chair is very attractive and comfortable as is.

I would say you probably would want something a little taller in back. My wife and I are both under 5'9" so it is fine for us. Very nice chair. Hope this helps.

I'm 4'11" and I can tell you that if you are lucky enough to find an office chair to fit petite frames, you've hit the jackpot. I like the chair, but I had to purchase the Obus Forme Ergonomic Orthopedic Low Back Support to shorten the seat length. That particular back support has a movable, velcroed cushion to add additional support where needed. This chair is as good as any, you will just need additional back cushioning for short legs.

Go with the longer ones; they will reach almost to the floor. Either one will fit the width and depth of the chair.

Lala, my chair legs are 1' diameter and they were still to small to put on. My hudband had to use a hair dryer to heat them up and then still struggled to get them on. I would not cut them down because the height is the way they stay on. I would try getting the next size up, or do what my hudband did and heat them to stretch them. They are still very much worth it. We tried the sticky round things you can get at the store and they wouldn't stay on at all. This product stays in place perfectly (once you get them on). Good luck!!

Hi, I have this chair and it really is awesome. Unfortunately it the seat does not tilt forward. : ( Other than that super comfy. I am 5' 4" and some arm rests do not come up high enough for me, these do. And they are adjustable. Hope this helps you choose a chair. Betty

this wont work well for your husband -- my hubby is 5'9 with a leg that barley bends and he has much difficulty... NOVA does make another very light weight wheel chair that fold the traditional way - but - has a leg foot rest that adjusts... costs about the same - and would work better for your circumstance -- i purchased that one from amazon as well -- it would serve you much better.. nova comet 352 was the name of the chair..good luck !!

There isn't a leg height adjustment for the chair, it does sit a little low though so as long as you could straddle it and feet touch the ground it will work. I am 5ft 4 and I think someone a lot shorter would be able to use it. I looks like you would just sit on it but the safest way to sit on it is to straddle it and use the handle as an arm rest.

Best thing to do is find a chair in your house that is comfortable and measure the chair cushion height ***with the cushion compressed as if you are sitting on it with your full weight***. Getting a height too tall can result in circulation being cut off somewhat as the backs of your legs press against the webbing at a downward angle. I tried upsizing to the 21" model when I wore out my first 18" model and I had to go back to the 18" which is perfectly comfortable.

My husband is too; his feet hang off. But this chair is amazing, and we both love it!!!!!!!!!! Totally worth it!

This is perfect for me with standard desk heights. I lower desk chairs to suit my legs, and this is no different. I prefer sitting so my arms can rest on the desk and my spine is in alignment, rather than towering over the desk surface and leaning over like I see taller people...who probably need a taller desk. And these people usually complain of aching backs/back stress.

Extenders do not come with the chair I had seen ones for sale. The ball is not attached so you could purchase a larger one which might be a better solution for you (I am only 5'2") so the original setting works for me.

Sit straight up. Great chair for long legged people! Seat is not too short in the leg.

Seems this high chair may be a good option if we would like a chair that works for both our regular table & kitchen island (which is a little taller)? I am having a hard time finding a chair that would work for both heights.

Yes, i got this chair for me, I'm 6'1" and the standard for my wife, she's 5'2". She looks like a little kid in the oversize. I fit, but could be very comfortable in the standard as well.
