NOVA Medical Drop Arm Transport Chair Commode with Locking Wheels & Removable Padded Seat - Hammertone - 1 Count - Ideal for Elderly Care, Home Use, and Patient Transfer Assistance

I have mid-stage ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), and this chair has definitely simplified going to thejohn. I can only walk a few feet, maybe about 10 or twelve feet (with the help of my wife and a walker), then it's sit down or fall down! My wife positions the transport chair, locks the wheels, then I position my powerchair close by, elevate the seat, stand up, take 3 steps, then sit. We did, however, improvise a bit by taking an inexpensive 4- inch commode riser and trimming it just a little so that it fits onto the transport chair's commode seat. This helps a lot when rising from the chair, and for the guys, well, may also alleviate some very crucial pinch points when rolling over the bathroom commode! The drop arms work very well, as do the swing-away footrests (which, yes, ARE included). We have a very narrow door into our master bathroom (2ft.-0in), and we had already removed the door at the hinges to help when entering with the walker, (because our door would only open about 90 degrees). This chair rolls right through the doorway. The chair is very well built and sturdy, and when you receive it, requires minimal tool-less assembly. The brakes may be a bit tight, but do secure the chair very well when transferring. The overall width is 22.5 inches and the underside of it's commode seat is 17 inches from the floor, which allows it to roll across MOST commodes, or you can use the included bucket. A very good product at a good price! Hope this info helps.
