" ... Wanted to like it but sometimes it worked great and then sometimes the wheels would get caught on the leg rests and you couldn't turn the chair. ... "
" ... The right front wheel bracket bent badly so that the wheel would not function. ... I liked many other aspects of this chair but in reading all the comments from customers, it has very poor construction quality. ... "
" ... However, after just four weeks, I was hoisting the chair up a step, with my mother in it, when one of the handles sheared off. ... It was extremely disappointing and led me to believe that the chair is perhaps lightweight at the expense of durability. ... I was not looking for a heavy duty chair, but I did expect this one to hold up under ordinary, predictable use. ... "
" ... The front wheel bent when we hit a seam in the side walk. ... "
" ... The detente that holds the brakes on finally wore out so the brakes couldn't be locked in the on position. ... "
" ... Poor product, hand break is a continual problem, getting repair parts is even a bigger one. ... "
" ... Be sure to check your chair carefully to make sure all the parts are in place. ... The nut for the front wheel came loose and the front wheel came off the chair. ... "
" ... Leg broke in half after three uses. ... "

" ... have an older wheelchair made by Medline whose Back Wheels are bigger but since my father is over 80 years of age and would be pushing my mother around in the chair - I told him this chair would weigh less than the one he currently is using and being the same manufacturer you know the quality of workmanship would not be lost by getting this one . ...
