As a couch, how high do you sit off the ground when you sit on it? Can you sit with your feet flat on the ground or only with your legs extended?

No. We went to Wal-Mart and bought 6" height risers for each of the legs. After raising the height with risers, the futon was more comfortable for sitting.

I am a 5'10" male, when I sit, my feet are capable of being flat on the ground, perfect level for having a laptop on your lap, or for reading. Although sometimes I extend my feet when relaxing.

I left the wheels off mine so I could slide the legs under the couch. I can use this at its lowest setting and level or slightly tilted at the couch. I can also use this with a standard office chair. Without the wheels and at the lowest position the table top is 26 inches from the floor. I slide the table to different rooms at different times and it doesn't drag on the carpet or scratch uncarpeted floors. The maximum height is 31 inches. Wehn at the lowest setting and the table top is vertical the height is just under 36 inches. Add 3 to 4 inches to each of these numbers when the wheels are installed.

You can adjust the height quite a bit. I took some pictures of someone seated only about a foot off the ground and I was able to adjust this to be pretty low. You do need to extend the bottom 3 legs so it's stable but the height can vary quite a bit. I hope that info helps!

The chairs themselves are fairly close to the ground; however, once the thick cushions are placed on the seats, the seat height is pretty normal for a lower couch. Also, I have seen comments where the back is low, but I have found that it hits mid-back and is comfortable to sit on with enough back support.

Yes, you sit on it but that would be best if you have it full of stuff.We used it for board games, Little kids are fine to sit on it, crawl in it, over it....~ they just love it! As far as exact amount of weight? I dont know for sure, I would not recommend as a long term sitting solution. This would in no way replace a couch but if your just sitting to put on your shoes, it is perfect!

My wife is 5' even. She can place both feet flat on the ground when chair is lowered. Although her back is firmly against the back of the chair she said she didn't know if she could sit like that all day (what ever that means lol)

The top of the cushion is 18 1/2 inches off the ground. I'm 5' 10" or a tad taller. When I sit on it, my leg is almost at a perfect 90 degrees. Also, I'm 220 lbs and it has no problem holding me. Rolls nice. Only thing I wish it had was a draw lining for the bottom of the drawers but thats easy to add.

I have never used on a couch but I have used it on carpet with absolutely no problems. Try a test spot if you're worried. Good luck!

I'm not sure I understand your question. The furniture sits on top of the square pads at each foot and does not move when someone sits on the couch for example. Nothing is stuck to the furniture so if you pick it up off the pad it's easily removed from the foot. No sticking anywhere.

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 measured the seat at 13 inches off the ground. Just high enough so you don't have to work too hard to sit down or stand up. It has an inset where a foam cushioned knee pad sits and can be removed as needed. I love mine for pulling weeds, or planting annual bedding plants and working on furniture projects. Really saves my knees!

When fully down the height from floor to bottom surface of chair is about 15.5 inches. When fully extended it is about 26.5 inches so 11 inches. I am 5 ft. 4 inches and my feet cannot touch the ground when chair is at its highest adjustment. I hope that helps :)

I use an adjustable-height chair, and use it at its maximum height -- top of cushion is 34.5 inches from the floor. This is an excellent height for me to use with my computer. Most of the time, though, I stand up to work -- which is the reason I bought the table in the first place.

I am sitting in the chair now. If I put it all the way down, I am sitting about 14" off the ground. All the way up is about 18".

Hi Jim, Your feet are elevated at the same time you lean back it is a smooth action. Also it is very easy to put the feet down just push down on the foot and lean forward. I love my chair.

I am the same height as you are, and my feet touch the ground with no problem. This is a great chair for the money!

I don't think there is one answer. I had to get used to the lever to extend the footrest, as the chair this replaced did not use a lever. Otherwise, it is easy to recline and extend the footrest. You also have to use the lever to bring the footrest back. I have had mine for over a year, and find that I can get the footrest back with my legs - it will snap into place and bring the lever with it. I am 5'6" tall and my arms are just long enough to reach and operate the lever. This could be an issue for shorter people.
