1. How many inches do the legs add to the height (need to fit through a narrow door)?2. I'm 5'3" --will my head be supported if I lean back?

1. The legs are removable and are 6" tall.2. I am also 5'3" and my head rests comfortably on the chair when I lean back.

The legs come separately packed in a zipped pocket on the underneath of the chair. I'm 5'5" and my head is above the back of the chair when I sit down.

HI I am 5'9"and my head is 3" above the chair back, which 28" from seat to top. It's a great chair but maybe not for you.

I'm petite at 5'2" but I have never hit my head on the ceiling with 102" ceilings. The highest part of the bed (the top rail) is 71" (from the floor), and my mattress (not a super thick one) sits at 66" (from the floor), so measure your ceiling height in inches, then subtract 65-70 inches from that, and you'll be left with your head clearance measurement (give or take a few inches depending on your mattress thickness). Whether this is enough or not has a lot to do with how big/awkward/clumsy the occupant is or isn't. My boyfriend, for example, at 5'11" and 185lbs almost always hits his head on the ceiling when he stays over. He is, however, inflexible, awkward, and big. I never hit my head unless I am trying to stand up (bent at waist) to make the bed while IN the bed (which is probably completely impossible for anyone over 5'3").

1- quality is very good! Been using it for almost a year now and its functioning like new.2- needs 2 people to assemple!3- for the size question : I dont recommend cutting it at all But, I have 80" opening and I wish if it was a couple of inches longer because it tend to opens back a little bit when closing so since its a folding door I think its better to have a little bit more inches than the exact size!

Yes my hubbie is 6'3" and this is his chair, works great. We also wanted a chair that would lean back and support his head, this has done both very well. Sturdy, comfortable, reasonable $, thinking about getting one for myself.

Hi Julia, I purchased one of these chairs a couple of months ago. My wife is 5ft1inch and weighs 115 lbs. She easily fits into the 16 wide chair and it has the advantage of passing through small door ways. The foot rests are adjustable to accommodate about any height so I don't think you will have an issue there either. The chair seems to be sturdy and not very heavy so one can easily lift in and out of a car trunk. If your daughter doen't need the leg supports to keep her legs horizontal you can remove the supports and make the unit a couple of lbs lighter. I hope this answers your questions. I consider it a excellent wheelchairand especially considering the economical price. Regards, Dennis Hi Julia, I purchased one of these chairs a couple of months ago.

If your body is proportional you'll be fine. I'm 5'11" and the back of my head almost touches the floor with about 1" clearance. Good luck!

Hi. The door opening for this particular one I got wasn't very tall- about 60" (5ft.). The unit itself is not that tall either. It is sloped from about 6ft. on one side to about 5ft. on the other side. I hope that helps.

I'm 6'0" and I feel like I'm maybe a just a bit too long for a perfect fit. But it's workable for me. My biggest complaint is that my feet drag the floor with leg extensions on the down stroke. I'm actually thinking of putting some 2X6 blocks under the feet to give me an inch and a half more clearance. My 15 year old is about 5'9" and he seems to fit without complaint. Neither of us has a problem with hamstring curls. I wouldn't think that 5'6" would be outside the design of the equipment since 5'6" to 6'0" is where a lot of people (men at least) fall.

Weight isn't that much of an issue. Figure if you have a 4 ft door use 3 taller than that I'd use 4

I am 5'3" and I measured only 4" from where my head hits the back to the top of the chair. I would think someone 6'2" 's head would tower over the top of the back of the chair. It is an awesome chair and I have no regrets buying. Hope this helps you ;-)

I would still buy this one. My husband is 5'10" weighs 160 and I am able to maneuver him just fine. The back is high enough for him. I believe if anyone was over 6' it may be a little low but would still be okay. It is a little difficult to push over wide thresholds but not impossible. We spend a lot of time going to therapy at a hospital and there are lots of doors with thresholds and we do just fine. Hope this helps.

The Heigh of this chair is 48.75". It depends on how tall you are from a sitting position if your head would rest against the back of the chair. I have a chair that is 33" tall. I am 5'3 and my head can rest on the back of my chair. But it will vary depending on not just the height of a person standing, but primarily on their sitting height.

Hi,Jan; I am shorter than 5' too and 17-18 " from the floor is a perfect position for this chair. Put small pillow on the back too.It will keep you straight. Natalia Chapin

I am 5'10" and the top of the back hits the bottom of my shoulder blades when sitting upright in chair, therefore you would have to slouch a great deal to rest your head on the back. My kids, same height as myself have used it with a footstool to slouch and lie their heads on top of the back of the chair.

My husband is 5'9" and it barely fits him. Your head will be pretty close to the floor, but it will probably work.

I'm 5'5 but I'd have to say yes because it's not very wide at all. I was surprised something so small could actually help but it does. It's not tall in the back at all.
