2 out of 5 stars Broke   October 2, 2008
Used the chair for about a year and a half, and then the weld on the bottom rail broke, where the curve starts to go over the front wheel.

We were on vacation; had to throw it away and buy a steel one from a drugstore.

It worked well while it worked, but don't expect it to last forever; the fact it does not come with a long warranty on the frame should tell you that, too.



5 out of 5 stars My mom loves it!   September 10, 2007

This chair is great. I can fold it up and fit it in the trunk of my Mustang convertible! Amazing! It pushes like a breeze, my mom hadn't been out and about for 2 years because she cannot stand for long. We can go to the stores now, we went to the outdoor french market last weekend and she enjoyed herself so much! The chair is comfortable and the plaid is attractive. A few nurses at the outpatient facility had to try it out and they loved it too. They agreed that it pushes much easier than a heavy wheelchair. Looks nicer too! Best gift I've purchased for my mom in years!


1 out of 5 stars Rating mostly for horrid service, not for chair   December 13, 2006

The chair seems well made enough for the price BUT the reason I ordered this particular transport chair was because of the unusual plaid color. I recieved black. If I had wanted black, I'd have ordered it. Just getting the wrong colored chair to my home was a nightmare. I ordered this on the 30th of November and needed it for my mother. I tracked it from Texas to Va and anticipated delivery to WV within a day or two. Imagine my dismay when I saw it two days later back in Texas!! This was a customer service nightmare. Amazon blamed UPS, UPS blamed Amazon. No one was really sympathetic to my plight. It was like "Oh well, it'll get there sooner or later." Once it did, the box was in pieces and like I said, it was the antithesis of cheerful plaid. The footrests are really flimsy but other than that, it seems like it will be fine for limited use. Not long term use but then what does one expect for $117? Better customer service, that's what!!!!


5 out of 5 stars Perfect for what I needed   November 10, 2006

I would recommend this chair to anyone who needs a light weight, easy to function transport chair.
I'm very happy with my purchase.

I quickly received the Drive Medical transport chair. After assembling the various pieces I could not adjust one of the leg/foot rests. I wrote to the company to get a replacement part but I have not heard back from them. The beige plaid chair print is cute and unusual. Not the usual "institutional" black color of many wheelchairs. I still wait to hear about a replacement for the faulty leg rest.
