They are the right size for me (5’4”), my som says they’re ok (5’9”) and my husband took one look and declares they are mama bear sized and not comfortable for him (6’3”).  The runners are very short, so they don't rock much. One major challenge assembling - the final step is screwing the runner into the wood at the bottom of each leg. It is not even remotely possible (nor a good idea) to drive the screw without first drilling a starter hole. Two of us tried, then I just got my power drill. The wood is hard and likely to split if a screw is used without a pre-drilled hole which would make it irreparable.
