My legs are just 2 inches too short to reach the floor when I am sitting on the couch. I finally figured it out tonight. I don’t remember when we bought them. I found the couch was unusually comfortable. Then I looked down at my shoes. Yes they had 2 inch heels.
I wonder why you can’t order on half the couch built for the taller person and a shorter couch built for the shorter person. Of course it would have to have the same fabric. I can not be the only wife with a husband who is 12 inches taller.
Our house is a mishmash of shorter and taller counters. Kitchen countertop lower. Bathrooms one short, on regular height and one taller. Rocking chair is on the taller side, the short on wore out long ago.
Cars are an issue too. It’s hard to find a car that fits someone that’s 5’3” tall and some one well over 6’ tall. The car that’s good for the short person can be really awkward for a taller person. My 1969 VW Bug was a perfect example of this and so was my Toyota Corolla. When John drove those cars his knees were wrapped around the steering wheel. Yet they fit me to a T. In the Astro, John almost always drove because there was more leg room in the driver’s seat in the Nissan, I hated driving John’s car, because I was too short to get comfortable
Designers are falling short on this issue. Pun intended.
