I am closer to 5'9, will this be able to support my back while sitting on the ground? I will be using a laptop while seated on the ground for hours.

I feel pretty confident it will work but I would get the dimension from the bottom of the chair (ground) to the top of back of the chair just so you know where it will hit your back. Make sense? If you are young enough to sit on the ground for long periods of time it should work.

I am only 5'1" and it fits me perfectly, so I would not think it would work as comfortably on a taller individual. My husband is 6'7" and I asked him to try it, and the rest did not quite fit his back. I know that neither height fits yours exactly, but I hope this info helps you to figure the odds!

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 am also built close to the ground. App. 4'11"". My feet touch the ground. I really enjoy my chair. I have taken many a nap in it. I am 73 yrs. young. Very comfortable rocker. Hope this is helpful.

I do not think it is too comfortable for a 5'10" person. I have one and it's comfortable for me. I am 5'5"

I'm 5'8. If you are sitting in the chair with proper posture, it will support your lower back enough to where you can sit completely straight very comfortably. If you lean back to where the top of your back is touching the chair, it still doesn't touch your neck. You would have to lean your head back in order for the chair to support your neck; it looks as though the top of the chair leans forward, but when you are sitting in it it won't support your neck unless you tilt your neck back. Kind of like a car seat.

I'm 5'3" and around 140 pounds. It works for me but you being 2" taller, it might be a little uncomfortable since you'll be leaning over the whole time.

No. I have tried every chair in my home including my office chair Which I can raise considerably high As I am 5'11" I should have read all the reviews. Sorry.. I was very disappointed as I broke my back and needed to work from home with my laptop..

I am 5'3" and my feet just touch the floor. I simply put a decorative pillow behind my back to coordinate with my other furniture and I'm fine. The chair is gorgeous & very well made. Just ask for an extra pair of hands when you put it together.

I am short too, only 5-5 I have kept this in my living room chair since i purchased it. I really like the way my back feels after sitting against this back support.

Hello Akasya. The table is excellent to support the laptop and keep it high level when you need to read something but I think is tall in case you need to type on it because you have to extend your arms for long time causing pain over your shoulder. I don't think it would be good for your back. I hope I could help you with my comments . Regards. Raquel Martínez -

Perhaps with a standard laptop, mine is a 17" and requires the use of the extender pads to support it. Usually the extender pads are for other purposes. The height is adjustable, and as you make it lower it becomes even more sturdy. I have it on the maximum height setting and it doesn't wobble. I use the space underneath for and external hard drive, remote controls, etc. I hope this helps.

I would say "yes", although other reviewers would disagree. I am 5'9" and i am able to use it.

I'm 5'2" with a short torso, and the lower back support is great. I have the back rest as low as it will go and have to sit completely back against it. However, the seat pan is shallow enough that my short legs easily reach the foot rest when I'm sitting against the back rest.

Yes but your expectations for "back as far upright as possible" and "front tilted down" may or may not be met. Guessing that with the seat tilted down as far as possible the back is still less than a 90 degree "as far upright as possible" position however it's comfortable and does keep the pressure off the back of legs if that's what you are looking for. My disappointment with this chair is the lack of height...anyone over about 5'6" may not find this chair's max height adequate.

My husband is 5'9" and he enjoys the chair. When he leans back in the chair, the high back supports his head and back. There isn't a head rest when he is sitting straight up (e.g., while typing) but that isn't an issue for him.

My wife is 5' even. She can place both feet flat on the ground when chair is lowered. Although her back is firmly against the back of the chair she said she didn't know if she could sit like that all day (what ever that means lol)
