Yes, I am 5' 10" and my chair just barely goes as low as I'd like. First there is a lever that raises and lowers the seat. Second, how low it goes depends in part on weight, as the spring is keeping it at a certain height. I have the spring set to maximum compressibility, so the chair goes as low as possible under my weight, which gets me just to the 90 degree angle.

Hi Ellen - I'm 5'4" and also like to keep my knees @ the 90 degree angle. I don't have a measuring tape handy, but can say that it does go low enough so that someone who is 5'4" can maintain a good angle. I had hesitations about buying the chair, it's a bit high on cost, but have been so happy with it. It's helped with my many back problems, and I wouldn't trade it for any other chair. Hope this helps.

I'm 5'9 and at first the bench felt a bit high, but I read a post about putting the bench into the first incline position which just slightly tips up the top and lowers the bottom of the bench and this allowed me to put my feet flat on the ground without feeling like the bench is in an incline position. If this is still too tall for you, you could place your feet on the feet of the bench which will elevate them a bit. Your best bet would be to find a place where you can try it out. I really hope this bench works for you because this is an amazing bench for the price. Their Dumbbells are next on my list of products. I am officially an Ironmaster fanboy now.

This stool only goes desk high. You might want to find a stool that a hairdresser can sit on. Good luck

i believe you can let some air out to lower it a bit, but i'm not sure it's advised. i am 5'2" and it is a good height for me with or without heels. conversely, a co-worker who is 5'8" also uses one without issue. the stool will bend to accommodate shorter individuals while retaining it's height for taller individuals. hope this helps - i love my ergo!

I measured the height of my dining room chair to begin with and found it to be 18" which was too low for what I wanted. I then measured a chair arm and found that to be 26" so I bought the 30" stair because I'm 6'7" tall and wanted to be able to basically sit standing. It all depends on your personal preference so measure some chairs and arms to get an idea of which feels best.

As Patricia indicated, seat height is important, and for taller people too. If the seat is too low, it is difficult for taller individuals with arthritic knees and/or weakened muscles to stand back up. Try sitting and standing with different chair heights before ordering to make sure the height you choose is appropriate.

I am 5'10"; the distance from the floor to the top of my knee is 22" (while wearing an athletic shoe). When I pedal, the top of my knee is around 27-28" high. You can place the deskcycle further ahead under your desk to be sure your knees will not hit. I think you should measure from the floor to the top of your knee to see if the top of your knee is not much more than 22". This is a sturdy piece of equipment. I've been using this equipment almost daily since the end of March. Hope this info helps.

I am 5'3 and have the seat on the lowest possible level. My feet barely touch the floor. It's not designed for short people. I don't think you should have a problem.

I love this chair, my husband is checking it now for height. Okay it is all the way up and it is 25 3/4 inches from the floor. I use it in the kitchen when I have alot of stuff to do and my arthritis is acting up.

As to comfort this may depend on individual size, preferences but I do find these stools very comfortable for extended seating however check that with the minimal stool height of 24", that, your work desk is high enough to accommodate you in a seated position and at a good working height.

The mogo can be reduced to 26 inches in height. As Focal Upright already mentioned, it's not designed for sitting, but it could still be a better option to a chair because you'll be getting more movement while working on your desk as you constantly readjust your balance and work your legs. The height is higher than a chair, so you'll most likely lean forward when using it (not sure how healthy that is for your back). I haven't used it with a traditional desk to be able to share personal experiences. I just made the above observations from reducing the mogo to the lowest height and briefly trying it out with my desk. The mogo can be reduced to 26 inches in height.

The foot rest is adjustable and I am 5'2" and had no problem. There was still room for adjustment. Neither should you. You don't put a lot of strain on your knee joints as you are held by the ankles. Invert slowly and use the less angled setting the first time, then determine if you can do more. Ask your doctor if they are okay with you using an inversion table.

20" is lowest seat level my unit provideds. It adusts upward if needed. The other two comments you received are correct too. The comment from Mr. Lipper is too brief to be useful to me, either! Mr.or Ms. Barter is a good one. Yes, it depends on the unit that you receive as to whether it will adjust down to 18". Mine went down to 20". I love this chair. As I work at my desk it provides freedom on motion and the 4" cushion provides hours of comfort. I hope this is helpful.

I'm 6'2" and I love this chair. As for recline angle, I'm not on the chair right now, but I'd say it's well past 20 degrees. I'd say it's between 35-45. I highly recommend this chair, it's been very comfortable for me. The only downside is that there is really no assembly (it's only a downside if you like to put things together) :-)

I am at work and can't look at the stool (which is at home!).I can tell you that I am 5'11 1/2" tall, so is my wife, and we were able to adjust it to a very comfortable level for our legs. Hers are actually longer than mine!The stool worked wonderfully, and I am SO glad I found it through Amazon! Rotating is great, and it was very quick and easy to set up!

I'm 6'3 with a 36" inseam...rather long legged, and have no problems with mine. I typically dip beyond a 90deg elbow angle as well and my knees never hit the ground. Even hanging weights from my waist that hang below my knees, I have to drop low for them to hit the floor. You should be fine at your height. It's a solid stand and hard to beat the price.

First off the legs DO NOT lock at multiple positions. Either full out or in. The seat can be used either way. Check out the you tube from walkstool. As for the height, that's a matter of preference. I'm 6'7" tall and bought the 30" stool because I have a bad knee and getting up from a lower seat is difficult. The 30" allows me to practically sit while standing. The 18" works but standing up is hard.
