Does anyone else's extend to full height after being left alone for a while? Is there an adjustment?

Seat does have lever for height adjustment. Mine has stayed at the height I initially set.

We adjusted the height on ours with a simple hacksaw. Worked fine and the ladder is very useful. There were directions on exactly how and where to cut it to shorten it.

I am sorry but I do not have my cane with me at the moment. There are adjustments. I am 5'7" and I know it is not fully extended. I hope this helps.

I didn't have any problems with them...perhaps you can call the company....did you set them to your height? Perhaps you just set one leg higher than the other one?

You may have assembled it incorrectly. The instructions are misleading-go over them carefully. I messed up during assembly and I also couldn't adjust the height. Had to disassemble and correct it and it adjust pretty easily now. Also don't over tighten anything that moves.

I had a friend who was with me that was about 6'2" and was able to extend them and used them just as well as i did. So they do adjust to your hight, So i don't know if 3 more inches would make a difference, but they worked well for him. Hope this helps.

Yes. I've extended all the way. It was scary and it made some noises but it makes getting to the back easier.

OOPS: When I actually took it out of the package, I discovered that it could not be shortened, only lengthened. I am 5'4" and the pole top "as is" comes to under my arm pit. That is OK for me, but I assume that for someone 5', it would come to about the top of that person's shoulder. OLD INCORRECT ANSWER: I just purchased my second stick. The first one I gave to a relative. This one has an adjustable section. I actually haven't used it yet (I bought it for emergencies) but I was pleased to see the adjustability.

My handle height has been raised to a perfect 34" for me. I am 5'4" tall and I don't bend over too much. If it is lower I tend to slouch and do want to stand up straight .

Can only extend height to parameters listed. Not sure what install into previous set means...

The bottom of the legs screw out to adjust the height. I don't know how much further they screw out. I have them screwed out 2-3" & I am 5'7".I would contact the manufacturer to get that information.

Yes. Fortunately for me, because I'm tall. I set it to maximum height and it works fine.

We have 8'2" ceilings. I am 6'1" and have it mounted above a doorway so I cannot touch the ground with my toes when fully extended. When I pull up, my head still misses the ceiling by about 1". All pretty close, but perfect. Keep him in the basement!

I can't answer exactly, but I am 5'8" tall (Depending on which convenience store I'm leaving) and I can extend it so I can work standing up.

Yes. The detented leg tips extend out of the main legs and are affixed via a heavy knobbed screw.Product FeaturesPlatform height adjustment: 26 - 43"; length adjustment: 29 - 43.5". You should also be able to stand and play with the leg tips extended

I dont' think it can be adjusted any higher. My husband is 6'4 and he too had the same problem as you're having with the height. Ours didn't come with any additional parts so I don't think you're missing anything.

I also found this strange, but the wire-based supports on the side do extend out. You just need to gently-yet-forcefully pull them out. At least that's how I got mine to adjust.
