What size would work for me as a desk seat? I'm only 5' 2" with shorter legs, but I'm concerned the 55cm would be too short for a standard work desk.

Hi Karla, I don't personaly use one but several of my staff does you want the 65mm I belive based on feed back from my people, hope this helps

I have the 65cm for exercising and I am 5' 4". My inseam is 30 inches and I can sit on the ball. I don't know if you would prefer it smaller or not. I do know that my regular chair at my desk is on the lowest level as I prefer to sit lower. I don't know if I helped you but maybe I gave you enough information to make a decision.

I would think a 55cm should be fine for you. I have a 55cm and a larger. I can use either depending on which desk or table I am working at.

James, I bought this chair about (2) weeks ago and really like it. I just measured it for you and it appears to be 22.5 inches from floor to the top of the seat area. I'm 6'6", 280 and it fits me very well. I use the chair at a few inches lower than full up so I have room under my desk. Good luck.

I'm 5'10" and at a "standard" desk the Fit desk is just about right for me - but I could lower it about 3" so it might work for you. Here's some maths: my eyes are at about 5'6" (I stand with my knees slightly bent), the computer I use which rests on a cooling pad on top of the fit desk is at about 3'10". The desk stands at 2'7" and the fit desk rises above that another 1'1" but could be lowered about 3". Where my hands rest on the pads is at about 3'9.5". All these measurements are +/- 1.5" or so.

Hi! We are a similar size. I love my obus forme! Have had it for at least a half dozen years and it has saved me many times over from unbearable back pain due to poorly designed chairs, seats, work stress etc. My new PT approved it and noticed that I am wearing out a part of it due to my spinal curvature and my tendency to lean my weight to one side. So do get support for your office and travel, but also be sure to check in with a PT if you have chronic issues.

I'm 5'7" as well and it is just find. As long as you do not have your office chair jacked up too high

I am 5 '4" and it fits me well. The seat could go lower, so I believe it would be fine for you.

I'm 5'4 and I think the 75" is the perfect height to sit me at the right level for my desk at work... also why I purchased this ball. Any smaller and I'd be sitting too low to reach everything appropriately.

I'm 5' 1.5in. and it fits me fine. I think you would be ok if you put a pillow behind your back to put you forward a bit (although that might not work if you need the full seat). If I were you I would go to a store (I went to Sports Authority) to adjust and then sit on it to make sure it fits before you order from Amazon.

I'm 5'5" and have no problem with this chair. It's the most comfortable desk chair I've ever sat in.

Even for a 5 foot person it's too tall for a regular desk. I returned mine.

It will depend a little on what you're using the ball for. I am also 5'5", but I'm currently 280 lbs. I sit on the blue 75cm ball every day at work as my office "chair". Mine is somewhat too large for me fully inflated as it will push my calves away from me, not really allowing a "proper" 90 degree bend at my knees. Without this size ball, however, I'd be sitting far too low at my desk to function. As an exercise ball, I firmly believe the 65 cm ball will work well for you with no question. As an office "chair" make sure to account for your weight and measure to ensure this will give you enough height. Measure the distance from hip to floor while sitting on your current desk chair (adjusted to your required working height). Then see if you can sit on a friend's exercise ball or a ball at your local gym and measure again from hip to floor and compare. If the properly inflated ball allows you enough height to work, you're good to go!

Sure it would look fine. I'm 6' 2" so my legs don't fit easily under the desk. That's my only complaint. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent desk. Suits my purposes fine.

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.

I almost 5'4 and I use this chair at work on a part time basis so far working fine for me, it's only been a month since I purchased. However I have thought about getting a little pillow to put behind my back for more arch support, which I don't mind doing since it will add some decoration to the office.

If you are talking about body frame... I would look at leg length and weight. I use both the 65 and the 75...I am lets say 'stocky"about 240-245 and 6 feet tall. I use the 75cm for a desk seat and the 65cm to exercise and stretch with. Some girls have long legsand they might like the 65 or even 75 if using for a desk seat. It sure has worked my back using it at my desk, works the legs too.I hope that helps, Bear

25 and a quarter inches. Measured from floor to where the overhand on the tray is, three times, average as stated. You may want to take 25 as your measure since the overhang can be pronounced depending on setup. As an aside, I have enjoyed the desk thoroughly. Two things I'd be wary of- you will absolutely need a hydraulic chair that can go down LOW. 25 inches isn't a whole lot of room to fit your legs under with a chair beneath you. So pay attention to that when shopping for a companion chair. Second thing, don't expect to be able to fit your hands in the tray and type with the tray pushed in. There simply isn't enough room. My tray is always pulled out. Perhaps if you buy one of the super-slim roll flat kb's, and have smaller hands, it could work. Enjoy the desk!
