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.

The side that raises is 13.5 inches; the side that doesn't raise is 8". You could certainly hold your laptop on the raised side, as far as size goes. We use it for an I pad, so I don't know if the weight of the laptop would be a problem.

I bought this in July. I'm only 5 inches taller than you & it's plenty low enough for me. Maybe a little lower than I would like even, but overall I love it...so I don't think it should be a problem. Hope this helps.

Yes it definitely is. I am 5'11". I have it on my office desk so I can stand and work. I have the adjustable legs set on their lowest setting and it is comfortable for me with a laptop, a large auxiliary screen, a keyboard and mouse on it. There is 6 inches of additional height that is achievable on the legs.

Hi,Jan;I am shorter than 5' too and 17-18 " from the floor is a perfect position for this chair. Put small pillow on the back too.It will keep you straight.Natalia Chapin

I am 5'9" and with seat all the way down my toes touch the ground. Not sure if that helps but would think you would be fine.

I'm 5'5" and can sit comfortably with my feet on the floor and my back against the back rest. Depending on how long the person's legs are, it should be OK. The more troubling issue is the fact that this item comes with 3-spoke wheels rather than the 8-spoke ones pictured. Some have reported that the wheels can break while the walker is in use.

No...it's actually very comfortable and you don't feel anything pressing up against you. At the same time, I'm not that tall (5'2-1/2") so I don't have that much of my back unsupported. Hope that helps!

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.

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.

I am only 5'5" and it is fine on my back for the most part. Sometimes I use a lumbar pillow though bc of the curve in the back is a little higher than where i need it to be. It is probably built for a taller person. The good thing is the back is totally adjustable to any position, including the arms. They go up, down, foward and back.It is a very comfy chair

No, I am 5'4" and mine is perfect, am assuming you are using it as a leg liftIt stays in place. Would buy again..

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 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"

Yes there is enough back and leg support for someone 5'10' and more. I'm 5"5' and I sit comfortably without legs hanging

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)

I'm 5'2" and 135-140 pounds, think it would work for me as a desk chair? Sounds like it but I just wanted to ask.
