I am concerned that it will be uncomfortably high on a table and kill my shoulders. Has this been a problem for anyone?

There are 5 holes in each side of the base and you can insert your frame into any of those holes to get the comfortable position you need. I have no problem with this frame at all. I've tried (and purchased) many different frames but this is my absolute all time favorite. I highly recommend it.

It may hurt the back of your legs. The frame is made of an aluminum bar and starts to bug after a while. My son who is 5'8" uses it for gaming and puts a folded up blanket along that bar to cushion it. The fabric may also "squeak" with that much weight.

No, and this is a significantly negative factor if you are accustomed to padded arms. Plus, they slope away from you at an uncomfortable arc, so it can be a problem.

I believe the positioning of the table and chair would make it very uncomfortable but it is sturdy enough, I would find a chair with a weighted table (so it would be less effected by wind) for a more comfortable experience.

I worried about that, too. But, no, the height is just fine. No danger of hitting your head. I have ours hanging over our sofa. Nice for reading. Stone base is against the wall so no cord is stretched across the room. Buy a bulb from Amazon that is silvered on the bottom. Otherwise the light overhead is very bright.

Not sure, I work with my table higher than most. I've had a couple of these tables and they've both cracked and broke, my second one broke on the 4th day of use and the person wasn't seriously over weight. I think the face cradle that is cut out jeopardizes the integrity of its strength. Either that or inferior wood used. I recommend going with Ironman Astoria it is much more sturdy and will be able to hold clients who are over weight with no problem.

Yes. We have not had an issue with this at all. The only concern we have had is whether or not the table top had a lip around it. If so it is sometimes difficult to properly secure the seat.

That is a valid concern. It is not particularly stable. I would not leave my laptop unattended on it, particularly if cats are a worry. I also do not like this table in general. I never use it. I bought a simpler bamboo table with a built in fan at the Mac Store. Works much better. This table was a good idea in theory, but in practice, it doesn't work at all well.

We have never had a problem with any weight causing it to tilt. We have had large groups with as many as 14 people around the table and this has carried ALL the food nicely. Everyone loves it. I think some were even going to order one after seeing ours. Of course you need to counter heavy weight with some balance opposing, but the idea is to enable everyone to spin the item they want to within reach. I recommend it highly. This is the largest one we could find, and we love it.

It's more than possible that could happen because you aren't use to it. I suggest moving it up or down a little. If that doesn't work then I suggest talking to your doctor about using it for your back.

I have never had any problems but the initial setting are crucial to make sure that there is never such an issue. If you start off at a lesser incline and adjust your heighth setting you should never have any troubles alone.

It has been fine for me. I'm 5'10". I haven't had any issues. My wife is 5'6" and she doesn't have any issues either. She uses it more than I do. When I do use it I have no troubles.

I have no issues with it. I am about 175 lbs and have been on it for 30 minutes at a time and had no discomfort. I hope this helps.

I am 210 and have no issues. I will say it is very uncomfortable. My kids sot in it now and I had to get a different chair.

Unless you plan to tap dance on it with steel-healed stilettos, I think you're safe. This table stood up to things being dropped on it, a TV that fell on it (long story) and just about any and all abuse that my household could possibly throw at it. Yes, it does have a few scuff marks, but they are barely noticeable and it has withstood all this for the past 8 or 9 months. I would not trade this table or the matching end tables for anything I have seen. They are tough and durable. In a pinch it also serves as extra seating, although it isn't very comfortable for that. Go for it...I do not think you'll be disappointed.

don't really know...I am a tall woman who is a big broad in the shoulders and I have no problem with this walker. I especially love the fact that it collapses when you are out to lunch enough as to not be too cumbersome at the table...and it is sturdy enough for me... I hope this helps!
