I went for this chair because I am a 5’10” woman. The height is very nice! The chair is gorgeous and well made. Initially, it appeared confusing to use, but the instructions are great, and once you learn to use it, wow, such a cool chair and designed so well! Love the shade, the dry bag, and the adjustable cup holder. My biggest criticism is that this is not a chair for a person with a big butt (or someone who is overweight). You will struggle to fit in here. And I do not consider myself obese! I am 5’10” and about 185, and I am just not comfortable in this. I also find the durable fabric to be uncomfortable to sit on directly. You really need a towel on it unless you’re wearing clothes and using this off the beach. Of course, it’s extremely well made, so the fabric is tougher for that reason.
It’s extremely functional and cute, and I do *generally* fit in it, so I’m keeping it, but this is just a cautionary tale for anyone who is looking for comfort first.
