I like the look of this cane. I am 5'4" and it adjusts to me just fine. It would work for someone shorter, too. The cane is described for tall people, so I want you to know, it's for everyone. Most medical items are ugly, so I wanted something a bit nicer. Although the better-looking canes cost a lot more, I'm finding it's worth it. I want you to know there is no rubber on the handle, so leaning it on a counter will not keep it from falling. I used a pink rubber band that does not show for that purpose. The paint on the cane is nicely done and of good quality. Walking with it is easy, as the bottom rubber is wide enough to feel secure.
