Planning to use for desk chair &amp; also yoga. I'm 5'10, I figure the 75mm. Also do you like the sand? My old one didn't have that. Curious about it.

you are 4" taller than I am, so you should go up to the next size. I love the sand a lot better. It provides much more stability. would buy this again! love it

My son uses it to play Xbox sometimes...but he seems to prefer the coach. He is only 5'6". It might not be ideal for someone over 6'. Nice chair overall though.

I am 6'3" myself...I basically live in the chair. I am 193 lbs and it seems to hold me well. I sleep/nap for 2 hours in it and it don't bother me or make me feel stiff or anything. Its a good chair for the money...you do have to get used to the material though....its not leather...but it feels like it a little...very comfortable chair!

I'm 5'6" and 166 lbs and I have no issues with it. When you first start to use it, it can be uncomfortable on your neck and shoulders but the more you wear it the easier it gets. You can also condition your way up to the full way by removing some sand bags and working your way back up to it. Just be cautious with the types of workouts your doing.

My friend who is 4' 8.5" stopped by this morning and tried my chair. She thought it was great and had no problem - in fact, she is going to put it on her gift list. She said she had no problem with it rolling away from her (although you do need to be careful about this...I think my casters are partially locked). Her legs were not at 90 degrees, they more followed the contours of the ball, but her feet were on the ground, and she was able to move the chair easily with her feet. I don't think her heels were more than just lightly touching the floor though - but she was barefoot. She was able to easily sit on the top center of the ball, and thinks it is very comfortable. She can't lean back against the backrest, but this is okay since you aren't supposed to lean against it anyway. BTW, the instructions for inflating the ball say to blow it up, then check it in a day since there will likely be some leaking, or perhaps it just stretches out, and fill it again. This is exacrtly what happened with mine, and after I filled it the second time, it has been fine. My ball might be a little soft, which might make a difference to her, but since I am big, it might be my weight. I hope this helps, and I would stress that you be careful when first using the chair to have a good understanding of how it moves, particularly when getting on and off.

Yes my hubbie is 6'3" and this is his chair, works great. We also wanted a chair that would lean back and support his head, this has done both very well. Sturdy, comfortable, reasonable $, thinking about getting one for myself.

Did you find a cushion that fits that you bought (as opposed to made yourself)? I am not one to make my own but have been trying to find something online that works outdoors (i.e. sunbrella material in case of a sudden summer shower). Love the idea of adding a cushion. Suncast could make a tidy sum if that offered that option. Thanks.

Hi Irene. It all depends what u'll use it for. I use it when I paint outdoors and sit for long periods, that's why I chose the 'Comfort' model which has a wider base. I chose this height too so my thighs are parallel to the ground which enables me to put stuff on my lap without it rolling off. I'm just about your height too, nearly 5'3", 110lbs (52kg) Hope this helps.

Im 6.0ft and 200lbs and it has been great for me. I use it less (2 hours per day) and my kids use it as well, which was the death of my old chair. This has been a good purchase for me. Good luck!

I am 2" less - but weigh close to the same - after several months, chair has been great - plenty of cushion and the front edge rolls down - doesn't create the pressure on the back side of the legs. It's sits about 2" higher than most - also nice as found many great chairs that seemed too short. The chair is solid - its heavier than most and assembles simply. Mine gets 8-10 hours of use per day - only wish I had found it sooner as I spent a lot more on the prior chair - it didn't last 3-years before the pot metal gave way. I know how frustrating it can be to find a good chair - good luck in your search.

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'm 6'2" and it is comfortable. I'd say that it reclines more like 20 degrees, I believe that is the reason they don't recommend putting you feet up on a desk. Good chair, glad I purchased it.:o)

I'm 5'10" and at a "standard" desk the Fit desk is just about right for me - but I could lower it about 3" so it might work for you. Here's some maths: my eyes are at about 5'6" (I stand with my knees slightly bent), the computer I use which rests on a cooling pad on top of the fit desk is at about 3'10". The desk stands at 2'7" and the fit desk rises above that another 1'1" but could be lowered about 3". Where my hands rest on the pads is at about 3'9.5". All these measurements are +/- 1.5" or so.

I used the 80mm on a standard cheap office depot chair (they're all pretty much the same under $150) and it was a bit shorter than the old one, but otherwise it worked fine. I'm not sure where the measurement would be taken, but hopefully my purely anecdotal advice can help.

Hi Susie, This is a great question. The answer is 5' is perfect fit. We have had many people who are 4'10" -6'5" give us feedback and all have said it was not an issue.

This is perfect for me with standard desk heights. I lower desk chairs to suit my legs, and this is no different. I prefer sitting so my arms can rest on the desk and my spine is in alignment, rather than towering over the desk surface and leaning over like I see taller people...who probably need a taller desk. And these people usually complain of aching backs/back stress.

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
