height adjustment

Changing vertical position

Height adjustment is the mechanism or process of changing how high or low something sits.

Office chairs, standing desks, and camera tripods typically feature height adjustment controls.

The term appears in product descriptions and user manuals: Use the lever under the seat for height adjustment.

As a compound modifier, it takes a hyphen: height-adjustment knob.
