Those are about my helght and weight and it works great for me (but I'm not a woman).

I'm a 5'8" woman and it was fine, the arms are a little lower than normal chairs I've sat in, but in some ways (after you get use to it) it's actually better. But I had to return the chair since it broke after a week (as explained in my comment), so I'm not exactly the person you may want to speak to.

Sorry, I can't help you here. I am 5'9" without a long torso. The chair is comfortable for me but I don't want to conjecture for others.

I am 5'6" and when we first put it together we accidentally had my seat set too high so I could tell it would accommodate a woman taller than me quite nicely. We lowered the seat and fixed the problem for me. But what I would really recommend is calling the company directly and asking them. They were very friendly and accommodating to me when I called in the past.

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

I am 5' 7" and my husband in 6' 3" and since our son has been born I believe he is in it more than me...LOL Unless you are a very tall and heavy person it should fit very comfortably. I still say it was worth every penny especially since most stores wanted anywhere from $300.00 plus for the same style of chair. Also the pillow is an added benefit....very comfortable on my back after giving birth.

Hi Tony, Thank you for your inquiry! I asked my manager to double check and he confirms that it is a perfect chair for a petite person. BisonOffice

I think it would work for someone 5' 3". I'm 6' 1" and 245 pounds so I wasn't really thinking about the chair for someone smaller than I, but the canvas sags down a bit so I would think even a shorter person could sit in it. However, it's overkill for a smaller person, because it's a big wide chair and really designed for big guys. You might look at a "regular" size chair, which probably would be cheaper, too.

I would still buy this one. My husband is 5'10" weighs 160 and I am able to maneuver him just fine. The back is high enough for him. I believe if anyone was over 6' it may be a little low but would still be okay. It is a little difficult to push over wide thresholds but not impossible. We spend a lot of time going to therapy at a hospital and there are lots of doors with thresholds and we do just fine. Hope this helps.

I am 4'10" and it does not restrict my movement by any means. It does not fit tight around your waist, but rather sits on your hips, so it should work quite well for you.

No. I'm 220 myself, and the chair back broke on day 5. I decided to try the chair without the back: however, it's not made very well for a 150+ lb person in my opinion. I would look for an Office Furniture surplus or outlet warehouse that business and schools send their previous year or unused chairs, and pick up a solid ergonomic chair for $200-400. It will be worth it if you spend a lot of time in the chair for your work, or have a lower back issue like I do.

I'm 5'6" and I can. I don't believe at 5'10" you would be able to. You could rest your neck tho! :-) Very comfortable chair otherwise. My dad uses it and he's 6'2".

It's probably pretty good for you. The height is adjustable with a minimum of 24 inches. I have mine at 33 inches and my wife who's 5'7" has to jump up on it. I have too as well, but not much. If it were her chair then it would of course be lower. The bottom cushion has a depth at the center of 18 inches, pretty standard seat size. The left/right front edges are less deep at about 17 inches or so. The seat back is 16 inches high. Pretty decent for me (I'm 5'9") but higher would be nicer. The seat back is not adjustable. So basically the seat itself is very standard, the cushions are well made. I've used it pretty much every day for the past 18 months and it shows no sign of wear. I use it at a standing desk so I can switch between sitting and standing throughout the day. I would highly recommend this chair.

I don't think this would be a comfortable chair for someone of your stature. My adopted son is 6'5. When he sits in it, he puts his knees at an angle with his feet on the floor. He says it strains his lower back. Maybe you should purchase the other one, it's more expensive but it has the pedestal base which raises it off the floor. It's a great chair! We are very pleased with the comfort and sound quality. The other bonus is that it folds up and can be stored if needed. Good luck!

i am 5'11" and it easily fits me. it is a beautifully constructed chair. remember, this is a chair designed to use 1 hr on, 1 hour off - at most. if you are over 240# it might not work for you. helps with my back pain. good luck

The chair I rec'd fits my frame..I am 5'2 and weight 115 to 120...at my biggest..It fits me perfect..It looks like a child could fit it too..I find it hard to believe that a 200-300 lb person would be comfortable in it..

This chair is very comfortable for a person with your weight. It is not x-tra large but larger then the average chair.All my friends love it.Good luck,Heidi

It depends on how semi it is. I'm overweight, but not obese. I have a bit of room but if I was heavier, it'd be a tight fit. It'd also depend on where the weight is carried. If it's carried in the hips and sides, I'd recommend another chair.

Although I bought this for my mother, I went and sat in the chair after receiving this question. I am 6'5" and 250 lbs and I fit comfortably in the chair. But I don't imagine it would remain comfortable if I had to sit in it all day every day. It is not a high back, so my shoulder blades were above the back. So I guess it depends on how you plan to use the chair. If for short time transport for someone, you should be fine. If sitting in it all day every day, then maybe not. Great chair for the price, by the way.
