Exactly how high up the body does this thing go? I've read 6 pages of reviews, and a couple of people said it doesn't go as high as pictured. Thanks for a reply!

It goes up above the navel but I would agree that it doesn't go as high as pictured (stops several inches below where a bra strap would go on me). Part of the problem might be that the model is pretty skinny but a lot of people who will be using this product would be doing so in an attempt to lose weight and would not have the same build as the model.

I think it was easy to adjust, as I remember. Not sure about how high it will go, sorry, it's been a long time since we bought it and returned it. It probably would work pretty well if you are sitting at a table, just not on a soft surface because it wouldn't stay upright for us.

It has been fine for me. I'm 5'10". I haven't had any issues. My wife is 5'6" and she doesn't have any issues either. She uses it more than I do. When I do use it I have no troubles.

I bought it for my daughter so haven't actually used it myself. However, it's pretty tall, I'm 5'6" and her shoulders are even with mine where it's set. It is adjustable as well, so may be able to go taller as well, I'm sure it can go shorter as it was in the box. It's very nice, my daughter LOVES it. Well worth the price!!!

I am 6'2 and just bought this bike. I have the seat post as far up as it will go and it is still too small for me. I mean, I can still ride it but my legs are not close to the correct angle when pedaling. I think it would be too small for anyone 6' or taller.

Fairly high. I'm 5'6", and I don't have it at max; however, if you are a really tall guy, you may find it lacking. I don't know the exact specs!

I'm 5'6". And it works well for me. The top part you can't adjust. The bottom part you can adjust for the length of your legs. However, that may make the top half heavier then the bottom (the balancing problem). If this is what is happening, and you are falling backwards, it is good, because that is where you will end up and want to. It is bad because it is hard to come back to upright when you are done. You may need to attach some weight to the place you stick your feet in. Maybe use leg weights (the ones with the Velcro straps). This should help. Please let me know if this works. Oh.. and make sure you try this with someone there to help! Good luck Darlene. Martin

What a good question. I haven't considered it, because I'm not that size. I've put heavier things on it. No, I don't think I'd let my 115 lbs child sit on it, though. I really am pleased with this. It looks very nice, as in the photo. I was actually expecting something more cheaply made. I'd give it five stars. Megan is correct, it is rather high. I might plop a toddler here, temporarily, to help with shoes or similar. I think a person tall enough to sit here might be too heavy. (??)

I am 5'11" and hight has not been the issue. My issue is that I am too wide for the machine, so I had to make some modifications to work the butterfly. The rest I think you can work around for the money spent. But if money is not the object. Seek a higher quality machine.

Looks like it's about 6 inches. You can automatically raise the front end for uphill exercise. it will go up to about one foot 3 inches at the front but you wouldn't be located at the front ... so a guestimate in the highest raised position, mid mat, you might be 8 or 9 or so inches. That said, unless you're in very very good shape, doubt you'd ever raise it that high. But the answer to your question is the step up and onto the mat is about 6 inches (frame on the side is slightly higher than the mat). Great machine...still love it! Good luck.

I'm almost 5' 8" and the thought never crossed my mind that it would be too tall. Can I MAKE it too tall? Sure. But it is so easy to adjust in more ways than I've tried, I can't imagine you having any problem with it. I'm very pleased with mine.

Taking a quick look, it looks like it's the highest it will go and this one is 34 inches. Now that you mentioned this. I'd like higher handles myself as I must lean forward and sort of push. Sorry I didn't have a good answer for you.

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

Where mine is hanging is about 8ft high. It hangs low, 'cause I'm 5'2" and though my head doesn't touch the hanging crystals, without fully extending my arm I can touch the hanging crystals. So a taller person would hit into them. It's really a pretty piece though.

Well I am 5'10 and it fits me pretty comfortably... but I don't know about 6'7'!!! I would measure it for you but it's out at our lake cabin... I will tell you that it's very well made and sturdy. SO comfortable. But your legs will definitely be dangling off the end of it! Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. BTW do you get tired of people asking if you play hoops?

My wife is 5'3 and I adjusted the handle bars and the seat to fit to her requirements. I am 6'0; however, I have a long torso with short inseam and we both enjoy the ride, except for the uphill. I can easily say that a person with a 5'8 height should be able to make proper adjustments for this bike to reach the desired results. WARNING: This bike will give you a work-out! I should have purchased the 3 or higher speed bike, with no speed adjustment the hills are painful. If you don't mind looking like "The Incredible Hulk" from the waist down...well maybe that's a little exaggerated but this bike does require some downward effort to move.

I am 5 ft 2 in and it comes high on my stomach . Its perfect for me cause I don't have to bend. I would say someone over 6 ft tall might be just fine because its all relative your height and arm length just like mine.
