I did some research and found that 1-800-Wheelchair has, by far, the best price for this item.

My Mom's doctor pushed her from the exam room to the waiting room and said: "Wow, this is a Cadillac!"

My only criticism would be that the footrests tend to swing around too much when folding and unfolding the chair.

Poor Construction

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The unit is very helpful and convenient for going to restaurants, however, is not for heavy use. The folding push arms are the big problem. They are not very secure and cannot handle much pressure.

I would recommend to a friend only if the folding push arms were reinforced!

I have reccomended this to other people
