Office Chairs — Expert Answer

What should a petite or short person (under 5'4") look for in an office chair?

Short users need: seat height minimum of 15"–17" (standard chairs bottom out at 17"–17.5", which may still be too high), seat depth starting at 15" to avoid the seat edge cutting behind the knees of shorter legs, and lumbar support that adjusts low enough to hit the actual lumbar curve of a shorter torso. A footrest may still be needed if the minimum seat height doesn't allow feet to be flat at a standard desk. Verify the actual seat height range in specs — "petite" labeling isn't standardized.
