Table Height
The table height is the distance from the floor to the top of the table’s cushions. To determine the best height for you, we recommend that you measure from the floor to the bottom or middle of your patella with shoes on. Please also take into consideration your body proportions and adjusting style.
Choose a single height or adjustable height!
