Personal Opinion:
This chair makes my life a lot easier. I can easily and independently reach shelves, which are otherwise hard to reach without a rising wheelchair. The lift feature honestly comes in handy and doesn’t cause any discomfort.

The secure, comfy and pressure-relieving seating prevents me from frequently having to relocate joints, whilst also providing relief when I’m in a lot of pain. It’s also surprisingly easy to reposition yourself and get comfy.

Although it is difficult to transport as I can rarely find big enough taxis, and struggle to get on trains and buses. It also doesn’t go up some kerbs, which is frustrating when there isn’t a dropped kerb.

But overall I would recommend it, as it’s been a great help overall.
