Great chair, easy to move around in and a great price.

Was able to work with Spinlife experts to build a custom chair that was exact to my mother's needs. Strong, yet very lightweight and colorful, too.

Wheel rims scratched easily. Would have liked to have a more durable surface.

Disabled elderly woman, RA, scoliosis, diabetic, non-weight bearing, overweight, best mother in the whole world, full of love for everyone!

Extremely easy to maneuver and propel. Fits through standard doorways. Numerous options to make it a truly custom wheelchair at a reasonable price.

Would have liked a chrome option for wheel rails but wasn't offered in this size.

85 year old female. Severe osteoporosis and balance issues.

Lots of color choices, and size options (I have a 14" seat, which makes a big difference in my small house, but also fits my body and optimizes my body mechanics). It is lightweight, which helps me during use and anyone taking it in and out of a car. It folds and unfolds easily. It maneuvers well and rolls easily. I appreciate the lock/release mechanism for the arm rests, which are much easier to use than on other/earlier models. It is sturdy and well made. I've only had the chair for a month, so cannot attest to durability, but have no concerns that it won't go the distance for me. It operates so smoothly, with relatively little effort, that I've been pleasantly surprised at how well my hands, wrists and shoulders are holding up so far. I am convinced that this chair is high value for the price I paid (my high ratings above reflect this quality/value ratio... rather than a comparison with high end, super lightweight or sports chairs).

The right side of the chair seems to have received a slightly thicker coat of paint, which has made things harder to work at first, but I'm breaking it in and things are loosening up nicely (It almost stopped the insertion of the quick release axel, on that side, which required hammering in while the other side slipped in as intended). It has also helped both sides to lubricate the receptacles for the armrests, as they were sticky and have taken some coaxing. Like other swing-away footrests, these are somewhat awkward for me to put on and off while seated in the chair.
