This is a beautiful chair.  Unfortunately, it's too high at its lowest setting for a woman of 5'3" to sit in.  I advise not buy this chair unless you are at least 5'6" or taller or you won't be able to use it.  The front piece on the seat is hard to get over if you're short.  Otherwise, it's very nice, good quality.  I may return if I can't sell/trade it to someone who can use it.
