How high is the seat? Is the back rest sturdy enough for an elderly person to use to help her stand up?

This is a nice little seat. It's about 15 1/2 inches high and the back is a nice feature. As far as using the back rest for help to stand up I wouldn't count on it as a strong option. If you wanted leverage you can put one hand on the bar in the front of the seat and the other on the back and get some that way. I have semi-bad knees but don't have trouble getting up from this.

No. This is a light folding chair. Leaning on it to stand up is a bad idea.

My Chair is in storage right now, but I want to say it's about 28 inches high it is high enough for some one like you that would have either MD or some type of back problem I am very happy with mine I have Fibromyalgia myself and also struggle with getting up from a chair not with this one, I've had people with back probglems that have actually tried mine and have bought one cause they like the height of it, you don't sit low on this kind of chair it's something that is very easy to get in and out off.

Besides the arm rests and high backrest, I guess it could serve as a bench. It's strong enough for several normal peoples weight.

over 3.3 feet high. we used it for our trip abroard. We used it not for walking support but to sit. Husband was too prideful to take it but after a hour or so...he saw the benefit. great investment!!! no matter the age. we are in our 30-40s. Will be getting one for our folks.

The back rest does not sit really high but you can lean onto it. I am 5'7" so it worked for me

Yes, it's fine, I have had mine several years. I use it in my kitchen instead of a kitchen stool. The only thing to watch out for is to make sure the back is up against something (a wall or a counter or something) when sitting down or getting up- or your can easily fall off of this chair when either bending down or getting up or down. I would not recommend it for an elderly person for this reason. However, for middle aged or younger it is a great chair. Just hold on to the back of it when getting up and down.

I'm 5'5", and have used it standing up. Height is good. But it is not very stable, especially when extended, if you try to put anything heavy (i.e. a songbook) on it. For a sheet or two, it is OK.

The seat is about 11-1/2" high. My daughter has been using hers for 4 years- daily!

Hi! My grandma was also about your height and was 91 years old. I would say that this rollator is pretty sturdy and worked great. If you also like to sit on that little bench you should have a petit frame since its not really wide. I would recommend this rollator any time.

the back is firm and is comfortable, the arm cushions are velcro, both of mine were damaged during shipment, I kept one and sent the other one back when I was notified by the carrier that the box was damaged. The back cushions sit straight up which I find comfortable. I think an older person would do just find with the up and down movement. Hope this helped.

Yes it is sturdy. It is very short and not something a large person will want to sit on regularly, however it accommodates my 6'2" 210 lb. husband when we need extra seating.

Sturdy, yes. The seat space isn't very deep though, so size may be an issue for a bigger person.

I do not have the specs but the back is high. my 5 yr old granddaughter is tall and she fits nicely in the seat.

I concur with John B......seat is about 15" or 16" high and would support one's leg...enjoy!!

Yes, it is sturdy for an adult to sit on. It is a nice side for 2 people to sit.

It seems sturdy enough. I would say like 300? maybe a little more. I would note that the seat is much narrower than the picture makes it out to be. So while it can probably hold enough weight, I wouldn't recommend for bigger people.
