Classy

Like it said it was, lite weight, foldable, and the reclining feature was quite handy

Better than expected!

Exactly as described. Very lightweight compared to my other chair. With a very bad back I can still get it in and out of my trunk. My only suggestion for Karman is to put approximate adult height that this chair fits.

We have nicknamed her new Karman chair "Porche", because it is built with that type of quality!

Met my expectations......exactly as advertised on the website......very high quality and easy to fold and transport.......pushes easily......my wife is only 125 lbs and I can push her in her new chair easily while dragging a full-to-the brim Whole Foods Market shopping cart around my store... she needed reclining because of her hip replacement surgery

Everything as advertised

This wheelchair is light enough for me, an 83 year caretaker of my disabled husband, to toss into the car. Folding it is a simple matter as well, and the chair is sturdy enough for excursions on city streets, parks, and beaches. With the addition of a seat cushion, the chair is also comfortable, even for a man with a back ijnury and chronic pain.
