" ... No awkward seams. ... However the 3rd time we used it one of the pieces that holds the leg elevation broke off. ... "
" ... I had the old wheels and old padded armrests put on the Drive wheelchair and gave that one to charity. ... "
" ... This broke the first time we used it outside. ... "
" ... The leg/footrests are terrible and flimsy. ... "
" ... The box was so damaged I think the foot rest must have falling out of the box before it made to me. ... "
" ... the chair itself is relatively comfortable, but one of the arm rests broke AND both legs fell apart/broke after about a week of use(10days). ... not particularly durable . ... "
" ... Dislike piece of cheaply made junk ... "
" ... one of the tires is too close to the steel bar. ... "
