How far from the ground is the seat? Are the arms sturdy enough for someone who has to use the chair arms to push out of the chair?

I also have to use the arms to get up out the seat, now as far as the seat height I would say the same as a dinning room chair. The arms are sturdy as the rest of the chair. This is not in the bag type of chair, heavy frame that take the weight.

Chair is about 17 inches from the ground. As someone who has shoulder problems, the arms are very strong. I love the style of the arms which makes getting up a lot easier.

Seat is 16-17 inches off the ground. The arms are very sturdy and can be used to help you get to your feet.

18". It's SO sturdy...this is not a dinky lawn chair. Yes you can absolutely push your self up with the arms. It's a wide base, so they're super sturdy. Good luck-

I didn't measure the distance from the ground to the seat but you sit higher than camp chairs. You sit upright like in a kitchen chair. Yes, the arms are absolutely strong enough to support weight and use as leverage to stand up. This is as sturdy a folding camp chair as I've seen.

the arms are sturdy for a very heavy person to push off. since the chair is in ohio, i can't measure it. it is much higher than any other i've tried.

The seat is like a regular chair about 18 inches and the arms are very sturdy I use them for help standing myself and I'm over 400 lbs

The seat is slightly higher than a regular folding chair of this type. My husband and I are both in our late 60's with problems getting out of most folding chairs do to knee problems and being overweight. This chair has metal arms front to back and it is a bit wider than most. He is 6' and almost 275 lbs and this is even safe for his usual method of seating himself which is to plop into the chair! Yes, the arms are sturdy enough to push out of.

Don't know the measurement but it's a comfortable height and yes the arms are very sturdy.

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.

I am 71 and have no trouble with it, however I am 5'8", so maybe someone shorter may have to use a step stool. The seat is very solid, and I have never worried about it tipping over getting in or out.

distance between arms is 22". I am tall (6'4") but also big and I like the chair a lot.

These chairs are very sturdily made. You have 15" within the arms, and if you don't put the arms up you have 20" of width.

22 9inches from seat to ground. Very tall and sturdy chair--person using it in my house is 6' tall and disabled--works perfectly.

I've owned it for 6 months and weigh roughly 300 lbs. You can definitely see it is a little pushed down towards the back now, but the chair itself has held up well. It does sometimes creak a little when getting in or out, but nothing seems to have broken. The heavier you are the harder it will probably be to keep the chair in one position though - you might find yourself constantly tightening the knob on the side, as I do.

The Seat is 12" from the floor. The arms are 17 1/2 " from the floor. The height of the back is 25" from the floor. Our grandchildren LOVE the chairs.

I'm close to 200 pounds and there's no problem using this chair. If you are close to 300 pounds it may not work well for you.

The seat can go as low as 16" (top of the seat to the floor). The arms are about 7 1/2" to 8" above the seat where is is comfortable to rest your arms. The arms slope forward so it depends.

These are very sturdy chairs as long as you tighten the screws correctly. They are very wide and should hold someone easily up to 200 lbs. I think the manufacturer could answer your question with more authority.

The chair has a base on the front that you put your feet on to hold the chair in place, which you can see in the picture. From that base up to the top edge of the seat, 16-1/2" would be pretty close. Personally, I have nothing but good to say about this chair. As I said in my review, the only complaint I had was having to switch the handles from upper to lower and back. But I purchased two additional handles with carabiner ends to solve that problem. The ones I purchased are at this Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007MG86WY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The arms stick out pretty far, and the seat is quite high, so I'd say generally no. I guess it depends a little on the table, though.

It is very sturdy and has held up to a lot of abuse even from an older sibling. However, any adult would have trouble sitting on it. You just won't fit between the arm rests.

The arm is 26 inches from the floor. We really like the chair. My daughter has it as her desk chair.

18 inches at the front of the seat before it drops down. I think it would be difficult for you to transfer yourself to this chair. The arms do not raise up. Sorry.

It's about 17 1/2" at the front of the seat with no one sitting in the chair. The fabric is "laced" to the side frame of the chair so with weight on the chair that measurement will be somewhat less. I have similar problems with low chairs since hip replacement but the frame and arms of the chair are very sturdy and I have no problems getting out of this chair or others by pushing up with my arms.
