How low is this chair? How easy is it to get out of? Especially someone with hip problems? Will be used in a clinic waiting room.

I have 2 in my clinic waiting room and they have been great! Cheaply made but they look good and will last at least a few years and are easy to clean. A little low but I haven't had any problems yet.

Well, it is not a lazy boy comfy chair. I bought it for my 83 yo mother and she really likes it. I found it sturdy, but it is comfy. It does run small. It's good for a petite lady or man.

I am a senior and it is very easy to get out of. I love mine so much. I have a studio apt. and it is awesome. I would buy another if something happened to mine and it is so comfy to curl up and take a nap on as well. I highly recommend it. I am checking measurements right now. It is 16 inches from floor to cushion. To get up just put your hand on arm cushion --and it is NO problem. It does not sink down either. It is excellent.

I think that this one may be a bad choice for you. It is very comfortable to sit in but my mother in law who has peripheral neuropathy has a hard time getting in and out of it. If you have someone to hold the chair steady and help you in and out of it, it may be okay but if you don't I wouldn't recommend it.

I use it and i am 6'3 340 lbs. Low use because it is in my RV as a replacement chair. I would buy again.

My hubby is 170 lbs. fine for him. He said not much hip space. Probably should find a different chair.

I am 2" less - but weigh close to the same - after several months, chair has been great - plenty of cushion and the front edge rolls down - doesn't create the pressure on the back side of the legs. It's sits about 2" higher than most - also nice as found many great chairs that seemed too short. The chair is solid - its heavier than most and assembles simply. Mine gets 8-10 hours of use per day - only wish I had found it sooner as I spent a lot more on the prior chair - it didn't last 3-years before the pot metal gave way. I know how frustrating it can be to find a good chair - good luck in your search.

I bought this chair for my husband and he has a bad back. It is hard for him to get up and down. He adjusted it for him. He likes it. The one you don't want is the Coleman It is only good for the young people. My son has that one.

It's about 17 1/2" at the front of the seat with no one sitting in the chair. The fabric is "laced" to the side frame of the chair so with weight on the chair that measurement will be somewhat less. I have similar problems with low chairs since hip replacement but the frame and arms of the chair are very sturdy and I have no problems getting out of this chair or others by pushing up with my arms.

The chair folds up like all normal chairs. Head rest, leg/ foot rest come off. The lay the patient down will only work with the assiantance of a caregiver. The patient/user of chair can not lay the chair down. For the price this is a great chair.. I added seat belts for transport of my husband out of the house. It was really easy to get the chair into our friends house for a new year eve party. My husbands electictial chair will not go easily to peoples houses with single step this chair was great.

I use this chair for as long as 6 hours at my desk. I purchased it when I was dealing with a hip flexor injury. I find the chair to be perfect! No pain in my hip after "sitting" for long periods of time. I purchased a second one for my desk at home.

This seat is too low to the ground if you have joint problems. It is also a very small seat (good for a child). I gave it away.

It's big enough for the average person, but if the person is tall or heavy, probably wouldn't be the best choice. I love the chair!

Actually I had to get the hang of it!! I have found if you put the foot of the chair down on the ground then you can just sit in. then get out the same way. it is so comfortable it's worth the 'awkwardness'!! I love the chair.

There are suggestions for legs while seated but they're cumbersome. The normal exercises have you standing or stepping onto the low platform you see in the picture. Just looked at the other answer and don't remember a bicycle option. I broke my wrist in a fall last year and put the chair away then,

The lowest setting is 17 inches and the highest is about 23 inches. We have it set at 21 inches which comes above our knees and makes it easy to sit and stand while maintaining hip precautions. It is sturdy at this setting.

I will go look to see if I can find a limit on the chair - I remember seeing something - but don't remember the amount - HOWEVER - I was 275Lbs when I used it and I used it a lot. It was a LIFE SAVER!!! I had two hip surgeries.
