Since I'm short, I found this stool to be the perfect hight for me, and very comfortable to sit in for extended periods. However, when packing it away, I find it hard to wrap the velcro strap around the bulk of the folded seat. Also, it is uncomfortable to carry on a hike. It's hard to position the carry strap in any way to keep from hurting my shoulder.
