Now for the 'NEW' chair story. I ordered one on 3/3/8 and received it on 7/21/8. I had very little input and guess what .... it DOESN'T work for me. I had to modify the footrest and the seat just to get going. Now a day at the van place to get the EZLOCK set up, then maybe I'll be ready. This is never easy. I pay about 500$ for Pride Jets on eBay and they work well. My part of this one was $1,100 and I have to modify it. Just doesn't make sense to me.
