Is this easy on the lower back during long stretches of reading? I am 5'2".

I have no problems but I'm 5'9", the only thing I do not like is there is no cup holder. Otherwise its GREAT

Frankly, I was disappointed. I bought it at the end of the season and only used it a few times, but it was very taut with little give

I'm also short and it's ok on the lower back. I think I may have rolled up a towel to help out. It has a great recline to fall asleep in.

Yes. I spent a lot of time looking for a chair before choosing this one and now I look for excuses to go to the beach and use it. It is really comfortable for hours at a time. I'm 6" and my girl friend is 5"2 and she loves hers as well. Good luck!

I don't think it would be super comfortable for a tall person, but I love it (I'm 5'4"), and my kids think it's awesome. So I'd give it a B for comfort. It can be irritating how the cushion slides around. The material is very durable but not super attractive, but the frame is very sturdy so as far as "holding up well" I'd give it an A!

Hello Akasya. The table is excellent to support the laptop and keep it high level when you need to read something but I think is tall in case you need to type on it because you have to extend your arms for long time causing pain over your shoulder. I don't think it would be good for your back. I hope I could help you with my comments . Regards. Raquel Martínez -

I think it was a very good purchase. As far as the back being too low, I think that would depend on your body type. For me it is just fine.I think it is also a very good value money-wise.

I relax on it and read.Its rather short, so my feet stick out.However, for a couple of hours its fine.

Yes. Easy, but if your female, THEY may be in the way of the lower half of the kindle. I use an e reader and all though it doesn't cause neck strain, it took my eyes awhile to get used to looking through the glasses. Basically if your laying flat, you have to look up to see the book which is also a feeling to get used to but it's 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

Yes it is very comfortable. Especially when you are reading. I bought it for my daughter. She likes to read and she said it helps her keep her posture. The arm rest is perfect.

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'm 5'2" and I find it comfortable. I do not have the seat set at its lowest but I do have the handle bars set at its highest setting. The seat itself is also adjustable for angle and of course you can move it forward or backward. You have to play with the settings until you find the combinations of positions that suit your overall frame but then you would have to do that with any bike. Hope this helps.

It works VERY well to read a book. I have chronic neck problems, and it helps keep books at the height that prevents neck pain.

yes. i like to position it close to my face because i have low vision. it also prevents one from bending their head down wile seated in a chair to read. good luck.

The answer is yes. I read in bed and it's lightweight and comfortable to hold with one hand when folded.

The back rest is good, I don't feel uncomfortable leaning back at all. It gives me a little break from keeping my posture super straight.

That's kind of dependent on what you like. It's basically like reading with a large hardback book. If you don't mind holding a hardback book, then it's fine. I hardly use the stand and don't mind reading without it. I read in the car with no stand, at appointments, in bed, etc.

I am both tall and have serious lower back problems. I found this style chair to be very good. Adjustments are good enough AND seat comfort is extra good. Great chair for the money, too.

Not really. The chair lays back quite a bit. When I read from my iPad I have to use a pillow to prop it us so I can see it better.
