I bought this gliding bench for my 80 year old mother, and she loves it. She is about 5ft tall, and she likes the seat height because she can touch the ground. I estimate the ground-to-seat height is 16", but I don't know for sure.

Mom purchased the Handy assembly service, and Chris was great. The Handy service is always dependable. Chris called ahead and arrived early. He was patient, friendly and professional. The assembly was very thorough and neat. I highly recommend Handy and this glider.
