How many inches from the floor is the upper rung/foot-rest? Both appear pretty low (which can be a concern for shorties like me!)

One of the reviews suggested that the footrest rungs were too low, and being that I'm only 5.2, I was concerned as well. I was happy to discover that the higher rungs worK just fine for a shortie like me ;). I'm not home right now so I can't measure, but they're probably 7-8 inches from the floor. They are comfortable stools, no problem at all. Good luck!

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.

Sorry for the late response. The foot rest measured about 19" from the floor when it is elevated. If you have the foot rest raised (elevated), you will have your legs up sticking straight out... at least that is the situation for me. Not sure if the weight of the legs will affect the degree of the foot rest elevation in over time.

I just measured: 17". I am 5'2" and did not use it on the lowest setting. My preference was around 19" but it depends on the shoe you are wearing on the "good" leg. A higher heel will require a higher setting.

Hi, No there are no foot rests. I'm 5 foot 2 inches and I can get my feet on the floor if I sit in the center of the ball. My back is not against the back rest but I'm centered and it sort of makes me sit up straighter.Hope this helps.

I'm 5'6" and it barely sizes up to me. I can barely reach the floor tippy toed. It all depends on how long your legs are though. Assuming you're 5'3" then your legs won't be as long or much longer than mine.

Pretty high. I'm 5'10" and in the highest position my heals are off the floor. I'll have to measure it Monday when I'm back at work.

Just ordered this, and it is up and running at our house! The feet are about 3-4 inches. Sorry, not going to get out the tape measure! :)

Good question. I've never measured that distance, so I don't have an answer to the question. Unfortunately the foot rest itself is not adjustable

I'm 5 foot seven and the chair was too high for my feet to touch the ground, and that was at the lowest setting it would go. I only use it occasionally at my desk. I had to purchase a different brand you use on a daily basis. But the chair was at a good price. I hope this was some help to you. Otherwise I think it would be comfortable it's well-made.

I'm 5'11" and my feet barely touch the floor. Height doesn't matter; width does. You can always put up the arm rests though.

I'm 5' 3" and I was not able to adjust the seat low enough so that my feet could rest on the ground even with a foot rest. I ended up giving the chair to my son who really enjoys it.

At this time I have a broken ankle so cannot tell you exact height but I am 5.6" and it suits me fine, I would definitely say it is not too low. Sorry I cannot be more specific.

I just measured. It is 23 3/4 high. It's on carpet, so I might not have gotten to the bottom of the foot.

I am at work and can't look at the stool (which is at home!).I can tell you that I am 5'11 1/2" tall, so is my wife, and we were able to adjust it to a very comfortable level for our legs. Hers are actually longer than mine!The stool worked wonderfully, and I am SO glad I found it through Amazon! Rotating is great, and it was very quick and easy to set up!

I am 6'3" and the head rest seems too low. Stargrave's answer is about right.

I don't know the exact measurement, but I'm 5'4" and I think I could be shorter and still have my feet on the floor. It's a very comfortable chair.
