Can someone tell me how high the seat is from the floor? I have a bad knee and if it is too low I will not be able to get up. I recently sold my stationary Marcy which I loved but after breaking my knee could no longer use it. My ortho told me I need a...

It's between 18 and 19 inches off the floor. It sits at about the same height as my sofa. Which makes it nice, like I'm lounging. LOL.

I JUST put mine up in the attic so I cant't personally check it. But this range was listed in the description. I'm 5'8". It was GREAT to have! I had a big toe fusion on Oct 30 and had to be non weight bearing for 11 weeks! It was so helpful. I'd say bend your knee straight back and have someone measure the distance to the floor to see if it's in the range listed below. Good luck to you. Knee Support Height Range: 17" - 22.5"

My husband is 6 foot tall, but uses the cushion because of his bad hip. So I guess it really depends on how cushy you need it. I am 5'3 myself and would probably just order the 4." He does like the cushion and we take it where he has to sit in low seats, theaters, etc. that don't have much height or padding. So, if you have really low seats you sit in and are using the cushion to add extra height for sitting and or more cushy on the tushy then maybe order the 6" one. I don't know, really is lifestyle and how much cushion you need?

The seat may have been just a little higher than most, as I recall. I am 6'2" and it seemed to be made for someone 6 foot even. I had to use pillows to make it work for my tall frame. But, beware! I am also disabled and fell through the chair three times when the laces that hold it together broke! When I told the company about my disability they refused to send replacement laces because "I sat in it too much" and it's "for recreational use only!" I don't know what they thought I was doing... I have a bad back and I wasn't using it as a trampoline!

The knee cushion on this was very hard. My mom made me a really thick cushion that was covered in fleece and attached underneath with elastic. Think the old dish covers that snugged over the dish with elastic. It was a lifesaver! My knee was very sore even with the cushion. Find someone who sews to make something before you need it. I would recommend several layers of cushion as opposed to one thick piece of foam. I hope you heal up quickly!

I am 5'10" and the seat sits about to my knees - otherwise it sits at the height that is perfect for me to not have my feet dangle or my knees are in my chest. It really has surpassed my expectations too for strength and comfort.

I have a partial knee replacement on the left knee, and at first I didn't have any issues using the table. My orthopedic surgeon, however, is concerned that the weight on the knee would put too much stress on the appliance. There is no knee strap or way to limit the pull from the thighs upward, at least not with my table. That isn't to say that there isn't something out there to solve the issue, as I will also eventually have both knees done. The chair piece actually flattens as you tilt back, so there would need to be a place to secure the lower legs that can adjust as the tilt flattens out the table.

I have used this while sitting in my recliner and also while sitting in a dining room chair. I am 4'9" tall so any chair I sit in my feet don't touch the ground. I have a gimpy knee. The main thing is the movement to help circulation, sit in what works for you and happy pedaling!

This one was too high for me. I don't know the height measurements because I returned it. At the highest point, it is just below a normal stool height. I ordered the Traxion Engineered Products 2-700 Progear Mobile Gear Seat. This one is low enough to work on tires and motorcycle engines.

Hello. I'm also 5 feet tall and wondering if anyone ever answered your question. I want to buy an elliptical and they all seem to cater to tall people! I had to have the pedals of last one I owned removed and moved forward, putting wood blocks underneath to also raise me up. Otherwise I the only way I could reach the handles was to walk in a leaning forward position. ANYONE out there with advice for us shrimps?

My mother has knee problems. I would not recommend this for you because it only has two steps, i believe the second step would be too high for you. Pick something with 3 or 4 small steps instead of 2 big steps. If you are like my mom the 2nd step is too high a step, you will have to bend your knee too much.

I had a serious problem with my knee. I used this chair to allow me to get around both the apartment and my building. I also used it to get to Doctors appt's. It helps alot. I am keeping it for other needs.

For me, the height is perfect. I have no trouble getting up, and I have knee problems. I am 5 feet 4 inches, so maybe it depends on one's height.

I find it awkward to use, both sitting down and rising. It is also hard to raise up from a reclining position. It is, however, very comfortable to lay in to read. I always make sure it its near a strong surface, so I can use that to help me push up. The seat is about 18 inches from the floor, but your feet are not directly beneath you making it somewhat difficult to get out of. I hope this helps. I do like it and am glad I bought it.

Hi. The highest point (behind knee/lower thigh) is about 17" from the floor. My butt is at about 15". I'm 5'8" and wife is 5'6" and it's very comfortable for us. Hope this helps. GR
