I am closer to 5'9, will this be able to support my back while sitting on the ground? I will be using a laptop while seated on the ground for hours.

I feel pretty confident it will work but I would get the dimension from the bottom of the chair (ground) to the top of back of the chair just so you know where it will hit your back. Make sense? If you are young enough to sit on the ground for long periods of time it should work.

I love this chair and think it's very comfortable. I'm 5'1" so it hits about in the middle of my shoulders - but I would think if someone was very tall, it might not have enough back support.

gave to my sone who is 6ft.2in. 200 lbs. I am 5ft. 3in and my feet did not rest on the ground when sitting in it. Great chair for lumbar support & built great but not for short people

The side that raises is 13.5 inches; the side that doesn't raise is 8". You could certainly hold your laptop on the raised side, as far as size goes. We use it for an I pad, so I don't know if the weight of the laptop would be a problem.

This depends on your sense of balance. I'm 5'10". The seat moves around and there is slight movement up and down so you have to bear that in mind. Your legs and back are active, and this forces your spinal column to be as balanced as possible, ensuring proper posture. There is virtually no way to slouch, or sit unbalanced on this seat. I like this chair, but at times I just want to flop down into something and this doesn't work for that, so I will occasionally swap it out for my old office chair.

I'm about 6' tall and I use the extender that came with it. The product website (http://fitdesk.net/fitdesk-2-0/) says it is suited for people 4' 10" to 6' and up with the extender. I find it comfortable to use while working on my laptop.

If you weren't set upright, this desk would be too tall. If you were comfortable reaching up to type, the adjustable easel could be used to place the laptop at an angle, but it may be awkward if you were lying flat on your back.

Yes, that'd be no problem. It seems to be built for average and shorter people. I'm 5'7" and I have it on the farthest out setting.

I'm 5' 11" and sitting on this chair at work. Just tried it and I did not have any problems, no sense at all that it was leaning too far back, but YMMV for you.

Not really. It's not tall enough; also, when you extend it all the way to full height it's not very sturdy. This product is best used for sitting on the bed or reclining while working with the laptop. For a standing desk, I suggest going with another product.

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

I bought this thinking I could use it as a stand up desk for my laptop (since all the experts tell us we're sitting too much). However, when you extend it to it's maximum height, not only is it not quite high enough to use as a standing desk (and I am short!), but it also gets pretty wobbly. Right now, I have mine set at about 3 ft. and that is perfiect for sitting on the side of my bed and using my laptop. ( We have a somewhat tall bed, FYI.) I esitmate one could raise it another 8 inches or so since there are 2 more holes left on the metal post, but as I said, it gets pretty wobbly when fully extended. I do like it very much, though. Hope this helps. I bought this thinking I could use it as a stand up desk for my laptop (since all the experts tell us we're sitting too much).

Yes my 17in laptop goes on it. It is a little wiggly but it works. I did not try propping it up yet.

No. I have tried every chair in my home including my office chair Which I can raise considerably high As I am 5'11" I should have read all the reviews. Sorry.. I was very disappointed as I broke my back and needed to work from home with my laptop..

I'm 5'2" and 135-140 pounds, think it would work for me as a desk chair? Sounds like it but I just wanted to ask.
