This chair has been a God send for me. My husband falls quite often because of his disabilities,he weighs over 200 lbs. I'm 120lbs. Before this chair I had to try to lift him which hurt me and was next to impossible if always have to call for help. He has fell 3 times since I bought this chair. It was so much easier to get him up, all I had to do was wiggle him up on the seat and press the button and up he came. He also is an amputee and getting him up makes life so much easier. Thank you so much I can't tell you how much this has made my life better. The price was great too.
