I am 5'8" tall. Is this seat high enough that I can perform makeup services without hurting my back? I can't find guidelines. Any advice appreciated.

I have friends that make custom ear plugs and that chair is just the right height for customer to sit in. It is just right for me also.

I think so. The seat measures 29 & 1/2" off the floor. The average counter is about 31" high. Have someone sit on a counter and check it out. You could also add a 3" cushion to the chair to raise the client higher. Good luck!

Yes - at 5'7" I'm very comfortable - the back of the chair is higher so you should not have a problem. Plus, the chair back is curved and conforms to your body.

I'm 5'2 and use a pillow and wedge shoes to make it comfortable. U can make it work. I do love mine & use it often.

Hi, Susan. It's not too high, it should work perfectly in height but the seat is very generously sized. It's wider than what I think would be standard. It's a beautiful chair no matter where you put it. One recommendation on the assembly if you buy it; put the brackets for the back on with loose bolts until you have them both in place and the back rest attached, then tighten them. I put the first on, tightened it, then the second but they were then spaced too wide for the back. Just a tip. I hope you love it, too if you buy it.

This is a great chair! I can rest my head but if you are really tall, it may not be high enough. I have a lot of people that have sat in this chair and all love it!

No, I had someone 5' 4" sit in on the bench. The mirror tilts but I also used a lighted make-up mirror on a stand. Be sure you have someone that is good at assembly.

Hello, I am 5'4" and it is a stretch to sit down,...not advisable if you are taller also it would be harder to get-UP from a short seat,... the seat is very small kind of like a pancake,...search for cane-seat thingie for some one of height,..when you sit on these seat-cains the cane part goes in front ..for safety, good luck hunting,...Wendy.PEACE

Actually I think it will be better for you than for myself. I'm 6'0...It works because I make it work until I find a taller bench. This one is actually to short for me. However I do like it. As far as the price? I think it is too expensive. But they are marketing at its high price because of its craftmanship and unique look. It's actually great for traveling which I do a lot of. It folds flat nicely. They don't offer any cushions with it either. It is very zen style. I think you should find the original website for the Ronin Meditation bench. You may get more help there. I do believe your height is a better fit for this bench than mine. Good Luck! I do like the style and appearance. And it looks definitely like the picture...Oh! And the slant is a very slight slant. Nothing to crazy to make you slide or uncomfortable.

I am 6'-4", 165lbs. So, quite tall and quite thin. This massage chair did not feel good to me. I returned it.

I'm 5' 1.5in. and it fits me fine. I think you would be ok if you put a pillow behind your back to put you forward a bit (although that might not work if you need the full seat). If I were you I would go to a store (I went to Sports Authority) to adjust and then sit on it to make sure it fits before you order from Amazon.

I'm 5'6 as well and it doesn't seem like its made for someone our height. The chair curves in where it should bow out to support your lower back and so the headrest pushing your head forward.

I am 6 foot 5 tall and weigh 280. After assembling a chair and love seat, I subjected them to my considerable bulk in a "drop and flop". Solid as a rock with just enough give in the backrest to be comfortable.

I am only 5'5" and it is fine on my back for the most part. Sometimes I use a lumbar pillow though bc of the curve in the back is a little higher than where i need it to be. It is probably built for a taller person. The good thing is the back is totally adjustable to any position, including the arms. They go up, down, foward and back. It is a very comfy chair

May not be best for long sitting. Seat is deep, I'm 6'2 so sitting well back in the seat works for me. Back is very upright.

I am a couple hairs over 5'10, and I think that the chair offers great support for me. The chair back does lay nicely behind my head with a little room to spare (for his extra height over me?). The chair back gets thinner toward the top, farther from the primary cushioned back, so my head ends up positioned a little farther back than what I prefer. The chair is still very comfortable for me without any added pillows or anything, though. I hope this helps.

I'm 5' 8" and no I have to use a small pillow to support my head and another one in the seat or the back hits me in an awkward position in my lower back. The difference in height may make a difference, I think the chair may be designed for a smaller person.

I am 5' 8". I love this chair. I sit on it for hours while working at home. It is vey comfortable. I forget it is supposed to be an exercise chair.
