Hi James.
They are quite tall - they sit on the ground and you stand or sit (up high) to observe.
They're very easy to use - just push/pull it to point to what you want. The tricky part is learning the sky so you know how to point it to what you want to see.
Pointing it any general star won't give you anything exciting to see. You need to be able to find the planets, star clusters, nebulas, galaxies and other deep space objects which will give you the joy you want.
So, yuo can stand and observe, sort of bending over to look through the eyepiece, depending on whether it's pointed straight up or at an angle. Most people buy or make an observing chair, which lets you sit down while observing. Much more comfortable and enjoyable. It just means you need to move the chair as you move the telescope.
