It was pretty inexpensive.  And it does look inexpensive BUT this thing is great!  I could pull it into the house by my pretty crippled self.  It is only two parts, period.  It is slightly undersized but big enough and doesn't take up space and it works- I sit in it all the time.  It has a good support for the back and lumbar, -- just right.  I am 5'5".  There is room in seat on both sides for remove and heating pad, et al.  I am in pretty bad shape but can operate the manual positioning, but might not if I were in even worse shape.  So glad I saved so much money as I don't think one thousand more would have made me that much happier.
