I'm 5'3\" and a senior, this is a comfortable height for my back. It is easy to set up, a bit heavy but the weight is as stated in the description and helps to make it feel solid & stable for my dogs. They are not afraid of it and are comfortable being groomed and fur trimmed on it. I like having 2 loops to hang either the 2 harnesses that came with it or a one piece hammock which I bought separately. Arrived quickly and as pictured. Got it on sale so the price was good too.
