huge improvement
This walker is vastly better than anything I have tried yet. My main issue with it is I still cannot stand completely straight without bumping the seat. The arm rests are also around 4" too short for me and I am only 5'11" Using this walker is still better. I hold the handle and walk a few feet until my back starts to hurt and then rest on the arm rests. This is not as clumsy as it sounds and does allow me to walk much further than I have in years. I am 70 and have no need to rush anyway. It was very simple to assemble and even with me having to sit down every couple minutes only took me 20 minutes. Anyone in good health could do it in 5 min or less. It is very nimble and I could see where someone with balance issues might have problems. I would recommend it to anyone with low back problems like mine. I need to add that I took my first long walk in 10 years today. I am changing from 4 to 5 stars. I found that holding the arm rest instead of the handle gives me almost military posture and gave me the ability to come close to marching speed. The seat is too small for me but hopefully after a few months of using this I will begin to fit. I am very glad I did not buy the other tall walker which cost 400 dollars more.
