Posh Rulers Height Indicator Tape Ruler. Version 2.0. Made in USA. Growth Chart. Height Measure.

I purchased this item. IT IS TERRIBLE!!! [IT'S EXCELLENT -- SEE MY SECOND UPDATE BELOW] So, what's so terrible? Well, it is supposed to be a tape measure! The tape measure is SUPPOSED TO BE 84 inches long (7 feet); however, the measurements ON THE TAPE I RECEIVED are inaccurate -- the inaccurate measurements cause the tape to longer than 84 + 1/2 inches! The tape I received added a little bit to every each -- by the end of the tape (84 inches), the tape was 84 + 1/2 long. I purchased a 1x2' board which was 8 feet long to mount this tape measure (so that I could move it from room to room as a measuring rod to build some cabinets). I cut my 8 foot (96 inches) board down to 84 + 1/4 inches (in order to leave an extra quarter inch). I, then, carefully positioned and mounted the measuring tape to the board. When I finished, the measuring tape was LONGER THAN THE BOARD! I thought: "Maybe I measured the board wrong!" I went and got the tape measure which I had used to measure the board; and, sure enough, the board was 84 and 1/4 inches long -- just what I had measured! I set the measuring tape I had used to measure the board next to this measuring tape and THERE WAS A DISCREPANCY -- this measuring tape was TOO LONG! It was MORE THAN 84 inches long - yet, it is supposed to be 84 inches! I got another one of my tape measures to compare my measurements -- both of my other tape measures were within a 64th of an inch. This tape measure was about A HALF OF AN INCH WRONG! As I compared the tape measures, this tape added an extra amount at each inch. They, both, started at zero. At one inch, they were about the same. At 12 inches, this tape was MORE THAN 12 inches. By the time a got to about 60 inches (5 feet), this tape measure was more than a quarter of an inch longer. At the end (84 inches - 7 feet), this tape measure was longer by about half an inch! It's totally useless -- it is inaccurate! If I had used it to construct my cabinets, everything would have been wrong! I am glad I was able to discover this inaccuracy BEFORE I relied upon it!!! (Obviously, I am getting my money back!) P.S. It is well marked and easy to hang -- it's just wrong! (The other reviewer, probably, never compared it to an accurate tape measure.) UPDATE: In response to my review (above), a video was uploaded to YouTube promoting the accuracy of the Posh Height Indicator Tape -- apparently, attempting to refute my review (notice that the date the video was uploaded was a few days after my review). To provide an unbiased response, I uploaded a complementary video to YouTube (see insert). A reviewer on the YouTube video I had posted postulated because ALL three of the measuring tapes I had used were metal tapes, ALL of them shrunk by the exact same amount -- thus, it was not the Posh Tape which was inaccurate -- rather, ALL of the measuring tapes I had used were inaccurate (by the exact same amount). Accordingly, I used my very precise, 100-foot long, FIBERGLASS measuring tape (which is not metal and does not shrink), and compared it to the Post Tape -- thus, the second set of photos. The fiberglass measuring tape confirmed the accuracy of ALL three of the metal measuring tapes I had used in the video (in addition to confirming the accuracy of another, white, metal measuring tape I had used in my initial photographs), See the second set of photographs comparing the Posh Tape to the fiberglass tape. SECOND UPDATE: In response to my review - noting the inaccuracy of the Posh Tape I had received, the manufacturer sent me a replacement tape! (I didn't even ask for it); the manufacturer, apparently, prides itself on the accuracy of their measuring tapes, and the manufacturer was surprised that the tape I had received was inaccurate (a defect -- it happens). I am pleased to report that, upon careful analysis, the second Posh Tape I received is 100% accurate -- which is really good because I wanted a quality-made, accurate, height-indicator tape. [I took another video; however, due to Amazon's policy, I can only upload one video. You'll have to just take my word for it that the second tape is accurate.] Now, the lesson is -- this is a well-made, highly visible, and good quality height-indicator tape; you'll just have to CHECK ITS ACCURACY before you rely upon it for accurate measurements. If the tape happens to be inaccurate, Posh stands by its guarantee and will send you another one! I have adjusted the stars (from one star) to reflect the quality of the tape; and to, more importantly, inform you of, and express my appreciation for, their EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE (from my experience -- if there is something wrong, they will make it right)!. (I'd give it five stars -- were it not for the disappointment I, initially, experienced, and the extra trouble it created.) (Heck, I just changed it to five stars (from four stars) -- it is AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT, and they had great quality, hassle-free, customer service,) They deserve five stars!!!

Received this product quickly from seller. I wanted to use this height tape ruler for a Christmas gift for my daughter to use for her two very young children to keep record of their height achievements. I mounted the self adhesive tape to a hinged 1/8th inch thick by 51/2 inch wide by 85 inch piece of wood veneer that I had hinged in the middle(hinges on backside). I then placed self adhesive velcro tabs on the back at the top and bottom. That way my daughter can attach the height indicator on the side of an open doorway and then take it with her if she moves. Since it is hinged, the unit folds in half, providing for ease of transportation while protecting the face of the tape ( tape is on the inside of the folded unit). The tape is high quality with an excellent adhesive backing.

Quality backing material and sharp printing.

I held a free EKG and pulmonary function testing clinic for my patients last week. I measured the height and weight of each patient beforehand, so the computerized PFT calculations would be correct, and eight patients in a row reacted strongly when I told them what their height measured. They all thought they were taller, as would be expected, which I reassured them was the common loss of vertebral height that occurs to everyone as they age. I used this adhesive Height Indicator Tape Ruler sold by POSH RULERS to get patient's exact height at the office. Why pay $400 for a used, fancy medical stadiometer when 2 products from Amazon can do the same thing for 50 bucks. Located on the door frame next to my 400-pound-capacity digital scale, it has large print with easy-to read numbers, along with the words 'Made in America' proudly stamped on one end. After so many consecutive patients complained they were taller than what I measured, I decided to investigate. It was correctly positioned on the wall, with both 0 inch and 0 cm marks at the floor, so it had a very accurate starting point and there should not be a problem. But as the attached picture shows, despite the problem of parralax, it measures 1/8 of an inch short for every 6 inches in length. (Tape measure is zeroed at 73", and at 67" it is already measuring 1/8" short. Thinking maybe it was made overseas and the metric scale might be accurate, I tested that side. And just like the Imperial scale printed along the left side, the metric scale on the right side was also inaccurate by the same amount! I still can’t wrap my head around this. What does the QA department at this factory do all day? They sell a product that can only do one thing – and that purpose requires accuracy. That’s why people buy it! And all the QA supervisor has to do is ensure the measuring scale is accurate. So he or she walks in at 8 am and pulls out a tape measure from their pocket or purse. They slap it down on the assembly line and check to see that they line up. How long can that take?

Not bad

Good product 😀

Buyer beware: Tape is NOT accurate. Youre going to have to get a standard tape measure and figure out the discrepancy if you want an accurate figure (im talking about upwards of half an inch). The adhesive is nice and while having to readjust it from the wall a few times to get the right reading, it came off quite nicely. Aside from that Id have expected atleast 2 given the price but the rating wouldnt have changed. You expect accuracy when you buy something that measures period.

I am using this in my small independent medical practice where I only have one exam room. Space is at a premium so I installed this on the door trim around the inside of my exam room door and it's working great.

Bon produit adhésif colle bien

Very useful. Couldnt find any other such tape to measure adult height.

A simple idea but effective. Seems hard wearing. Easy stick and unstick.

Very happy with this for doctor's office. Cheap, nice to look at, easy to mount.

Loved this
