This truly is the greatest way to own a wheelchair, ever! This arrives fully put together with the exception of the foot rests, which are easily attached. It opens and expands like a folded up beach or stadium/tailgating portable chair! It's lightweight yet sturdy and comes in its own carrying bag! I thought perhaps the lower cost or "wheelchair in a bag" idea might make it a semi-shoddy product, but it is AWESOME! It's even a lightweight carry in that bag in which it arrives inside the box. Breaks down back into the bag just as easily. So, for those of you with someone in your life who needs help like this only when faced with a lot of walking, due to any reason, i.e., age, injury, post-surgery recovery, etc., , but you don't want to spend a fortune, this is the chair for you! The friend I pushed around in it today said he was very comfortable and the chair itself is easy to push and maneuver. And this is coming from someone who had to push him while dealing with my own knee injury, so I can't say enough good things about it. The back wheels are easy to lock as well. Great purchase, high quality, will be used for many years! Highly recommended!
