Purchased being a little skeptical due to being actually affordable but wasnтАЩt disappointed!! Is amazing chair, super light suitable for most places, fold in half easily, very comfortable. Works awesome. Can self propel well and go pretty fast. Not like clunky hospital chairs. Came quickly and arrived with good protection. Never review things but was pleasantly surprised.
Only downside is would only work for slim individuals as seat isnтАЩt very wide, also the brakes are hard to use as only small handles and not long like the image shows but easy fixes for the price. These were all minor and not too bad for me. Just be mindful if hand issues like myself. If not youтАЩll be fine, I can still manage it.
Overall AMAZING & AWESOME PRICE! Thanks so much Gilani!!

This chair is awesome for us individuals who cannot afford custom chairs or access the NDIS. Luckily for me this is almost perfect to my dimensions as a 165cm and 50kg individual. It honestly feels like an extension of me. ItтАЩs sleek looking, compact and comfy. ItтАЩs easy to propel and do wheelies, does not come with anti tips though like described. Would recommend this chair to ambulatory users who want a way to get out more!Again, doesnтАЩt feel like a hospital chair at all, very snug.

I use this both indoors and outdoors and it handles everything. Smooth ride, sturdy build, and doesnтАЩt feel cheap at all. Worth every dollar.
