    Dear native speakers,

    is it possible to say "breast-high"? For me, it sounds somehow strange. If not, I would have to give the true value (1.2 m), but I would prefer to use that descriptive way.

    Thanks in advance,
    Anne

    though to me, that sounds kinda weird too...

    or " a pillar of chest height"

    maybe shoulder high?
