I am short with short legs. Does this stool raise high enough for short people at stove or sink in kitchen?

It raises a good height but must be careful of the wheels and how lite weight the chair is needs wheel locks.

It should! I like to sit high because of my long legs & it does that very well! It's a great product, I Love Mine!

Maximum seat height from bottom of rollers to the seat sitting position (the area in the center of the seat not the outer rim) is 24 inches. Take into consideration that when I sit on the seat it will compress the hydraulic plunger about 2 inches meaning that for my weight of 206 pounds, the maximum seat height from the area in the center of the seat to the bottom of the rollers is 22 inches.

I would think the best chair for your application would be the Boss B16245-BK Caressoft Medical/Drafting Stool sold on Amazon.

For me, the handle would be too short to pull up the steps. It is fine on a flat surface or on an uneven surface. I am 5'6".

My counter top is about 36" from the floor, and the stool cushion is ~30" from the floor, so there's a good 5-6" left to spare. No problem.

The adjustment is as good as any stool like this is.i use it at work to weld items on the work table which is 34" tall, I'm just5'10".

Ours is at the lower setting, 16" from the floor. You can raise it 3". The top rails fit flush against our counter tops. This is the best thing we ever bought for the kitchen. Our son can wash his own hands, cook his food and get to the high cabinets on his own. He is almost 5 and uses it multiple times a day.

Probably ok for standard kitchen countertop height (36"), but not nearly tall enough for "bar" countertop height. You need a bar stool for that.

Yes, I'm 5 feet tall and it is too high for me to prep food on but would work well for you.

I'm 5'10", and it's a bit too short for me. I measured the top of the cutting board at 33 inches. It is definitely shorter than standard counter height.

Well...I'm only 5' so I may not be the best judge of that...it is counter height..like your kitchen counters...

Its fine standing, or on a short stool for me. 5'9". Tall stools not so good... I use it for Reloading, and gunsmithing, and am very pleased with it.

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!

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 am 5'5" and used this on the lowest setting. I think it would be tall enough for you.

I am 6 foot and my wife is 5'8' and we used a standard vanity height of 34" and put the sinks on top of that and it is great. No complaints from either of us. it is only about 3-4 inches tall at the lowest point in the center

To make it easy to use for a standing desk you would need some kind of ring or step bar to get you higher on the seat. I actually use this in the kitchen to work at the stove or counter and do not put it up as far as I would like due to my own physical problems. It would go high enough. With rubber soled shoes I step on one of the legs of the chair to hoist myself a little higher on the seat.

I'm only 5'6" and 135 lbs (lost a bit of weight thanks to spine injury) and these are wobbly when raised to max height. They do feel pretty sturdy when not extended, but lose stability for higher adjustments. Wouldn't recommend unless it's for use with shorter countertops.

the height might be a problem for a child or perhaps the opposite since they are likely to be more limber but yes, a very low stool or one of those plastic single step folding ladders people use in their kitchens for higher shelves would serve the same purpose
