This wheelchair was purchased to use on a temporary basis. The one I bought came with elevating footrests, which I replaced immediately by taking a pair of standard footrests off another wheelchair. It's comfortable enough and folds up very easily and nicely for transporting it, and isn't very heavy, but is still sturdy enough to hold up to a reasonable amount of abuse. There's also a pouch built into the back of the wheelchair, which has turned out to be extremely useful and handy.Despite the granny look, up close, this wheelchair is far more stylish than it looks in the stock photos. It's easy to roll around in, and so far, after an entire month of use, the back upholstery is still 100% firm and standing, despite the fact that I've been keeping a full, stuffed heavy backpack slung over the back of the chair. You could probably hook a backpack or similar bag to the push handles, but I found that doing this meant the bag was hanging too close to the wheels.
Now that the temporary month is turning into something more like 90 days of use, I'm really glad I bought this chair, because I'm going to be using it longer than I'd first thought, while I'm waiting for my health insurance co. to approve the purchase of an expensive wheelchair. If you're a little bit disturbed at the thought of rolling around in what you might be thinking is an old folks' wheelchair, trust me when I say that this Drive Medical Silver Sport is very stylish, and you won't be embarrassed to be seen riding around with it. The "Drive" stickers on the side of the chair were easy enough to scrape off without any trouble. The word "Drive" is printed in goofy big white letters across the back of the chair, but I guess you have to live with a little advertising in exchange for a great deal on a decent wheelchair.
Also, despite the low price, the chair is very well made and high quality, and is a very recommended purchase for short-term use. If you're out on the streets every day tearing stuff up, this will be a temporary wheelchair, but if you're mostly inside the house, and calm and mellow, you might be able to get a few years of good use out of this chair.
Update: This wheelchair is excellent for handling when it comes to dealing with a change in terrain. Going from a nice smooth sidewalk down a slope to badly-poured asphalt, the chair didn't so much as let out a belch of complaint. The chair is heavy enough and sturdy enough to override sloppy construction of sidewalks and parking lots, unlike the ultralight sports wheelchair I had (the Quickie GPV), which seemed to delight in tipping forward, backwards and sideways as I crossed over every surface it didn't like. It also works well whether you're pushing yourself or someone else is pushing you in the chair.
