You can use either/or. Supposedly, you can use their height measurements but I preferred to adjust them by using both so as not to create a "weak spot," but I am 5' 9." I just adjusted them to the height suggested by the YouTube videotape, at elbow.

First of all, hold your arms down, then bend at elbow. Straight out from that where your hands are is the height the poles should be (with your hands gripped in the hand grips). You loosen the poles at both sections, then slide them down equally until the height is correct, again where your elbows are bent and hands straight out to the poles. Tighten each section. It is easiest to do one pole and then just lay the other out next to it loosen and tighten equally each area until they match. The previous answer had a good suggestion regarding adjusting the smaller diameter the shortest.I hope this helps. First of all, hold your arms down, then bend at elbow.

You can do either but I adjust both to keep them as close to the middle of the adjustment as possible. Both have a minimum and max mark so just try to get it somewhere near the middle. That way you have room to fine tune either one. Not really a big deal as long as don't go beyond the max on either one.

I adjusted both of them, but made the smallest diameter the shortest since it is the weakest.

As far as I understand it's a standard thirty inches, which does not adjust any lower, maybe you want to cut the feet or play around with it yourselfJust study the picture see if can be played around with. eliot

They do not adjust too low however I have a standard size counter top they sit under and my legs go under the countertop without problem

Hello, the way I adjusted is that I did not use the middle section. The horizontal bars cannot be changed, but you can shorten the width of the vertical bars. Good luck

Yes you can adjust them how you like. I broke one of mine after using it only a couple times and i got ahold of allen sports and they sent a free replacement.

I had a friend who was with me that was about 6'2" and was able to extend them and used them just as well as i did. So they do adjust to your hight, So i don't know if 3 more inches would make a difference, but they worked well for him. Hope this helps.

there is no height adjustment but I suppose you could cut to the height your trying to get

The height is adjustable. However, the lowest setting may still be too high. I'm 5'4 and I'm using the lowest heights for both.

You don't adjust the feet. You can adjust the shelves along the stand putting them at the different levels

I really didn't know they were adjustable, Mine went in one permanent spot. You did put on the plastic feet didn't you? New is best, they are much thicker than old wore ones. With those on I can't see how it could be too low. Hope that helps.

No, buy a shorter one if you need less height. These are sealed units and have no method of height adjustment

I am 5'-3", and when I raise them up, it's the perfect height. I think you could be creative with how you mount it, though, to achieve a tall height.

They are adjustable mine are at the lowest at aprox 29 inches from floor to cushion. Idk how high they can go never needed any higher.

I did, but they should come with adjustable things on the bottom of the legs.. To make them higher or lower ..

Just by pushing or pulling them from the top...they are hard to adjust and it feels like your going to damage the seat. Grab the sides of them and they should move. There's no lever, it's all internal.

I dont' think it can be adjusted any higher. My husband is 6'4 and he too had the same problem as you're having with the height. Ours didn't come with any additional parts so I don't think you're missing anything.

I was going to order this chair and stopped when I saw this post. I am 5'2", I never heard if a chair that doesn't adjust for someone my height. Is this true? Thanks
