Drop-Arm Transport Commode Chair

the four swivel casters. I use it for cooking and working in the kitchen.

I find the casters do not turn as easilly as my old one that my wife got rid of because the thing was old and ugly.

It's overall ease of use in the shower. Quick drying of all parts.

one arm doesn't lock in easily so it collapses. The legs do not come off which would be an asset. The wheel locks are too tight so a caregiver hurt herself unlocking one. Footrests are so rough they must be covered with a towel to protect the soles of the feet.

77 MS in a wheelchair & cannot stand / walk, use of only one arm.

Important features of drop arm-transfer ease-urgency commode available-lightweight but sturdy makes it easy to move either by itself or with person in it.

Wheel latches are so tight that caregiver can't unlock the latches with foot or hand. Unlocking the wheel latches has to be done with long nose pliers. Also, it would be handy if Nova made a version of this same chair that had front cable locks that the user could control (assuming the user is basically independent and wants a super-lightweight wheelchair). An additional feature that would be so nice is to have extending legs so person could adjust seat height. Mom is 5'5" with arthritic knees, hips, lumbar, so the most comfortable seat height for her is 23" from floor to seat. PS Blue color option would be more homey~

I like the way the arm rests go down.

the chair does not roll well on carpet. The wheels are too small and the wheel locks are very hard to unlock. We have to pull her in the chair backwards.
