i use my chair every day, and i enjoy it very much. the only problem is with the front casters, they wobble all of the time. but if you tighten them up a little bit they will work fine for you. i feel that this chair is a great buy, and i will buy another one as soon as this one gives up on me. again its a great buy.

I only used this chair a few months until I could walk on my own again. It is light and easy to maneuver. So easy in fact that I now use it all the time as my home office chair. Very comfortable.

I use this w/c everyday. I don't use the legs as they get in my way. They arn't the best to put on. My spouse has to work at it to get them in. If you use them every day it might improve. We like that the chair weighs less then any other chair I have ever owned. It also is easier for me to maneuvor and folds up much smaller than my other chairs. Even I can fold it up. One of the big draw backs is that the straps to pull up the seat are not reinforced at the rivets and will tear with repeated pulling. It is still very easy to pull the chair up by the seat. If I can do it with my weak arms, then I know most people can do it. Also when you take off the legs there is a open hole and no cap is supplied. We just put a piece of clear duct tape across the top. You will need to do this to keep water out. One of my other problems with this chair is the front wheels will vibrate when they move over brick streets or concrete that has been groved to imitate bricks or pavers. If you spend all day in the chair you probably already have a cushion for your chair. If not you may want to get one. I find if I spend all day in my chair without my cushion I regret it by the end of the day
Even with the problems I have described this chair is still a good buy.
I STILL WILL BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THESE CHAIRS WHEN THE W/C I OWN DIES. IT IS A GOOD VALUE!!!!!
