What is the height of each folded arm? I am short, cane length is 29 &1/2 inches. If need be, can legs be shortened?

Yes Gail, with a hack saw of metal saw. It should be done by a pro because you have to get the angles just right, Any metal working shop should be able to do it for you quickly. The only limitation of shortening the pipe are the braces on the bottom, can't go past them. Hope this helps.

I bought this cane for my father to use whenever he's in a place where he might have to wait without seating available. It's very good to have in a pinch, but it's probably not the best as a cane or seating for prolonged use. When folded, one arm is 35" & the other is 33". When unfolded the seat itself is 22" high & the arms are 27" & 30" from the floor. The vinyl tips wear out & we replace them frequently. (But that's true for all canes.) I imagine you can cut the aluminum with a hacksaw & shorten it a few inches if you have to.

One side is 29.5, and the other is 26.5. The seat is 22" from the ground. The seat is 12.5" wide X 5.5" deep. I do not see any way the legs could be shortened unless you had someone evenly saw some length off the bottom. Also, when it is folded up and used as a cane, not a seat, it is 35" tall. I hope this helps!

Hi: My cane is right around 37 inches as shipped > I did modify mine with a sturdier rubber tip for concrete. Health T.

I sent a reply to this yesterday. Today I checked again, and found if I "unhinged" the cane in the 3 possible joints it folded to 14", which is less than my earlier figure.

Hi Margaret, I found a website for the folding foot rest. It's about 10' X 5" X 1" folded. The sides can extend out to about 15" and the legs fold down to give it a 5" height.http://econohigh.com/product-info.htmSteve

I haven't measured it, but the cane is about 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall. I'm 5'3 and it works okay as a cane for me, but I think it would be more comfortable if it was a little shorter.

These canes fold up to 9 1/2 inches, you have to consider the handle. They are light weight and easy to carry in a case or bag, or carry it full out opened and ready to use.

I don't remember exactly but it is tall enough I have bath sheets on each arm folded in half and they are not touching the floor. I would say at least 2-1/2 to 3' tall

Yes, the length of an adjustable single point cane can be adjusted. The correct length of any walking device is - the handle of the cane/walker should be at your wrist level when you stand up straight and dangle you arm on your side. (I am a licensed Physical Therapist)

Just measured by hand. When folded, it measures slightly under 24" from the tip of the rubber foot to the very end of the chair. It also measures 3 inches wide when folded. So you should be fine!

I haven't measured the settings but I'm 6' 2" tall and the settings worked for me. It should work for shorter settings as well. I should tell you that the handle was a problem with extended use. It is a "T" shaped handle and I found it chaffed on my fingers with extended use. I now prefer a "U" shaped handle in which there is no stem that goes between your fingers. Aside from that the cane was excellent.

It is adjustable and from the tip of the cane to the very top of the curved handle it is 38 1/4 inches max and adjusts via 5 one inch increment settings, and can shrink to a minimum height of 34 1/4". Hope that helps to clarify. Good luck!

Yes! I shortened my wifes cane by about 2" with no adverse affects. She loves it!

Folded the unit is approximately 10 inches long. Unfolded for sitting it is approximately 29-3/4 inches long. Unfolded for use as a cane or walking stick it is approximately 34-1/4 inches long.

The height is misleading. The arms are made to be flexed and shaped to be the shapes and heights you need. The lowest I have is about 72 in and the highest about 86 in. Shape the arms rather then bend and kink though

The cane is short.I'm 5'8" I t would be better for me if longer. I t is one of the only cane chairs that you can walk with.The others you carry with shoulder strap,then open to sit.It is a great chair,I'm sure it will work for you. Good luck!! Your friend Ron.

If the cane is adjusted at its shortest height it would fold to approx. 11 1/2". At its tallest, approx. 15".

The folding cane is about 3/4" in diameter. Very sturdy. It adjusts in height in 1" increments--there are six of them. There are four folding sections about 7 or 8"in length and then the adjustable height section at the top.
