Great for the money
OK to start with this is not a "light weight chair".
Right out of the box it's ready to go, just add footrests. I've been in a wheelchair for near 20 years and about tried them all, from super lightweights to what I call dinosaurs, you know the ones you commonly see in most hospitals.
This chair is what you might call upgraded from that. It feels sturdy, good locking breaks, rolls with ease, the push, or rear tires have a rough type finish painted on, for grip that's good, but for fast rolls down ramps, or down hill, could leave a slight burn in your hand, so gloves recommended for that.
All in all, for the price, you can't go wrong. Recommended, if you need a chair and tight on money, hey it looks nice too.
I would imagine if you are an active person outdoor wise, this chair may last about a year, for around the house, hospitals or nursing home, two at best.
