Much better than the old thing with tennis balls my grannie had (;
I ordered this because I have a hip replacement coming up and, after checking out the walkers Medicare would provide for me, decided this is a much better option. While I've only tried it out so far, I am pleased with its appearance and solidity. It is very sturdy and, with the back wheels being further apart than are the front wheels, there is more room for me. Another feature that I really like is that I can pull up on the strap in the middle of the seat and fit it through a narrow bathroom door, while still using it for support. While this is a heavy nylon seat--and not padded--it and the back fit me well and provide solid lumbar support. Someone else looked at it today and was quite impressed. She said they paid over $500 for a walker for her brother that was flimsy, with metal that quickly bent, so that the thing was useless. She plans to get one of these for her mother. The only downside seems to be that the included cupholder can't be put on without loosening a strange-looking screw--we have to find a screwdriver that will fit it. A cane holder is also included. The velcro-attached bag is good sized. If you want to go to the hassle of removing 8 screw--gizmos with large plastic heads (they are easy to do) and lower the arms, it will fit in the included bag.
