I am short & use a 6 inch foot rest when at my desk. Will I be able to use this product comfortably without foot rest? I am assuming it tilts 5 inches max (correct?)

The unit is not as high as most foot rest if you have a safeco brand that adjust on a post this will not give you that kind of height. Only going to give you about 4 inches extra height

This provides very little height, nothing close to six inches. I would estimate two to three inches at most. The bottom of the tilts are flat so you might be able to set it on a (separate) platform to add height.

Nope! It seems to work better for shorter people (unless the tall person has a very tall desk!). I'm 5'4" and it works great for me & my shorter co-workers.

I am 6.0' and in the fully reclining position (for napping) the heel of my feet our just past the end of the reclining part. So as for me only my feet are unsupported. In the normal reclining position (for watching TV) my wife measured that 12" hang past the end of the chair. So as I said in my review, if you can fit a regular full size reclining chair in the room, that would certainly be more comfortable.

I think the chair would be fine for you, especially if you install the footrest. I am 5'11" and eventually removed the footrest because it wasn't low enough for me (felt like my knees were higher than my hips). If you like to sit back in the seat, I recommend you don't have anything near the chair's feet to obstruct it so that you can get as close to the desk as you need to get. I have a foot stand and it competes with the chair feet so I tend to sit more in the middle or on the edge of the chair than against the back rest.

Mine does not sag much, but since I am short and using a 55, it would not be a good desk height. I think most people using them at a desk are using a larger size.

monitor has a nice range of tilt, for tall and short folks. I am 6 feet tall and the wife is 5 feet tall chair does not adjust so the monitor adjustments are used and works fine for us.

I'm 6'2" and use it at full length. I think the angle will be about the same for you at 6'5" but your feet will be further out in front of you which will put your pelvis into more of a sitting position. I hope that helps.

The height of the monitor has been no problem for me. It sits on my desk, on its stand, and is at eye level. Im a normal height and sitting straight up. I don't have any way of measuring it, but I believe it is taller than 18.2 inches with the stand. I have not used the tilt function since the screen is so large and it is likely not needed. It sits naturally with a just slightly reclined posture so it has a larger viewing angle from straight on or just above.

Yes. My husband is 6'3" and uses it when I am not...although your comfort level may also depend on how high your desk/table is.

I do not use the foot rest. I can push against my computer workstation with my feet and the chair goes back and forwards maybe a foot. It had a med feeling spring return to center but overall it is a confortable feeling rocking sensation. Chair tilts back slightly when pushed backwards and manually using lever reclines a good ways to the point where you are almost laying flat.

It is too low to use at a desk in my opinion. I keep mine in full recline and the top of the front part of the cushion then is about 18-19 inches high. For the money especially, it is a excellent TV viewing chair or for relaxed reading. I find it hard to believe anyone would actually try to use it as a desk chair. Course I do use my tablet often when sitting in it.

I'm 6'2" and it is comfortable. I'd say that it reclines more like 20 degrees, I believe that is the reason they don't recommend putting you feet up on a desk. Good chair, glad I purchased it.:o)

Used it under the desk all the time. It isn't very high like a foot rest would be.But I guess you could if you like.

I am also around 5'6" and the chair comes up to just past my neck, so it might work with a pillow. I not have try a pillow and the chair is not overly comfortable on the neck or head when resting back on the chair. The rest of the chair is comfortable and I use it everyday for many hours per day. So I have no complaints about it.

Mary, I am 5 feet 3 1/2 tall and my husband is 6 feet 1 1/2 inches tall. We have both used it. When we use it, we angle the stick so we are relaxed when sitting. Your two legs and the stick make a 3-legged chair. That is the premise. The seat is like an bike seat so it is not all that comfortable, however, when you are on your feet on pavement all day, say at Disneyland, you will be very glad you have it to give your legs, ankles, feet and back a rest!. We are glad we both purchased one.

Unfortunately, if you're shorter than, say, 5'4" it may be too high for you. I'm 5'9" and it is perfect, although care must be taken to avoid leaning back too far due to the three legged stance. I purchased this item to provide me a rest when standing in long lines and it's ideal for that.

That wont be necessary, once you have accomplished the appropriate angles to create a sturdy stance nothing is going to fall. I stand all day but on occasion I sit. I simple bring my keyboard down to my desk and move my monitor to the keyboard tray which is perfect eye level for me I am 5'7.
