I am pretty short, 5'4" at 115lbs. Would the height/shape of the backrest be suitable for shorter people who want to take advantage of movable pads?

One of our office staff is right at 5'. I'd be surprised if she weighed 100lbs. She likes her chair, but the natural slant of the chair is forward. She actually needed someone to assist her with setting the angle of the chair. We've been happy with our chairs, but I think that they're not the best choice for shorter people.

I would think so. It's very comfortable however I would wonder if the arm rests might be too wide for petite persons.

I am about 5' 6" and I find the chair to be about perfect. However, I do prop my feet up under my desk, so that may help balance out any issues related to my lack of height :-)

I am 5'5.5" at 160. I have the arm rests at the lowest. When I sit it, my arms are at the same level as my waist. Backrest is very long and comfy. Everything is adjustable. Backrest inclination, seat inclination, chair height and can also adjust the air for lumbar support cushion.

The backrest support would probably work well for shorter people. What probably won't work is the seat height if you have shorter legs. I am 5.7 and wish that the seat platform would lower another inch or more. Your heels may not touch the ground comfortably with this chair on its lowest setting.

My wife is about 5'7" and there is plenty of room to adjust the seat for shorter people. It should work out ok unless her legs are really short.

I'm 5'9" & it's the perfect height for me so I doubt it would work for you . . . unless you can find a shorter version.

I didn't like the backrest as the contour didn't fit my body properly. It did fit my son, so I gave the unit to him. I am 5'3" and he is almost 6'. IDK if that helps, but it just was uncomfortable for me.

The seat is angled enough that your legs automatically rest on the pads. This chair is adjustable. Maybe if your were only 3 feet tall would you have a problem fitting. But even then I think you could. But it's not made for small children. I am 5'2" and it works for me.

I don't think it would work for him. I am around 5' 4" and the seat is just ok for me but still on the low side. Also I would not like to sit in it for long stretches of time as it would get uncomfortable.

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

Yes, that'd be no problem. It seems to be built for average and shorter people. I'm 5'7" and I have it on the farthest out setting.

It depends I suppose on how tall you are but the back of the chair does easily go up and down. I am 5'4', at the lowest setting, it supports my head well. My husband is 5'8" and weraised it all the way up and it supports his head well. The pedals on this chair work really easily so finding your perfect comfort is easy.

I am 5'3" and it works fine for me. You should be able to adjust it to fit your height. You will probably be pleased with how light it is.

I've had back problems and I find this very comfortable. I'm about 5'8" and the backrest fits snugly in the small of my back. But the height of the backrest is not adjustable, so if you are taller than me, you might not like this. But, for the price, I really like this chair.

I'm 5'4 and it works great for me. It has several height adjustments and I know I don't work from the lowest one so I would think it would work for somebody a few inches shorter.

Yes, quite easily, I am 5'2" - I will add however, you should still use a foot rest as tall as the foot ring in front of the chair for better ergonomics.

I am 5' 8" and let's just say I am about what you weigh. Being that you have a few inches height on me you might find it more comfortable than I have. The back pushes you forward some and I find myself "fighting" with it. In all honesty when I have to replace this chair I will not be buying another like it. I need a straight back situation but this is too forward. I hope this helped.

I don't believe 5' 2" is too short. The chair is adjustable, and you should be able to find a comfortable position.

The back rest does not sit really high but you can lean onto it. I am 5'7" so it worked for me

Yes, I am 4'11" and have no problem using it comfortably. I don't even have it on the shorteset setting.
