I am 4'10", adult women; are there any short stature issues to use this?

I am a six foot male so I cannot give you an answer from my own experience. However, I suspect a problem would occur with a very tall user who could not get full leg extension. I don't think that your stature would prevent you from having prorper use of this rower.

I am 5'3" and have no problems with this. The height is adjustable. Hope that helps! :)

My wife is 5'4 I am 5'10, works fine for both of us. It is almost perfectly silent when new, but after time get some creaks and groans - you can still easily watch TV or listen to music while using it though.

It would work for you. I am petite as well and it worked very well. Just make sure you try it as soon as you get it because when I bought a replacement recently after many years it did not work at all. By the time I went to use it I discovered it did not work at all and had already thrown away the box and it was too late to return it.

I'm 5'9" & it's the perfect height for me so I doubt it would work for you . . . unless you can find a shorter version.

I don't have a problem using it. My wife is 5'6" and she uses it all the time, but she prefers using a shoulder strap with it.

I can't say for certain, as I am fairly tall, but I believe a shorter person might have trouble. The back section is quite long, and even on me it would bunch up and get uncomfortable. But maybe that would not be the case with a shorter person? I'm sorry, that wasn't much help :/

yes the height of the unit was a problem for me as well. for normal adults. I belive the unit is to short. however, with small modification this unit is worth purchasing. I placed a 14 inch stool underneath to raise the unit.

My Wife is 5'3" & she loves it. I have a hard time keeping her from using it. I have gotten to use it very little.

This will work for you! my mother was shorter than 5'....just don't try to put it together, have someone else do it!

I am 4 ft 10 in, the height is okay for me. if you are shorter than 4'10" it will not adjust further.

I am 5'4" and it is fine for me.Been awhile since I put it together but i think I recall that there are options for the seat placement.

I think you'll be fine. I'm A 5-foot woman and my stepdaughter is 5' 8" -- we use the same thing with no problem.

No, I'm 5'10" and I'm already a couple inches taller than the actual product. It'd be incredibly inconvenient for someone with your height. You could get creative and place the product on top of a box or something to make it higher though.
