Oh, I most definitely did not think you did not do your research! I know you better than that. :-)
I am just curious (and I am sure that many other people are for when they need new chairs) WHAT chairs people are choosing and WHY. That is great that you are getting a leg bag opener put on it!!! What color did you pick? The DEMO that my husband brought back today is a shiny red color around the base and the tire rims. I like the red color but not sure right now what color I will end up choosing. Again, thanks again for your information! And hope you get it sooner than later!
