Is the backrest removable? Do I have the option of using the chair without it?

I dont think you can safely it help holds the ball in place it dose come off but the ball qould be really lose and free moving.

Yes and yes. When you assemble it you can skip the step to attach the back.

The backrest does come off. You can even use the ball on the floor asa regular exercise ball.
826267
no, the base and back is one solid piece. You can use the ball as a standalone though.

It is removable, Honestly I think it is meant to be a "just in case" back rest. It sits too far back for me so even though it's on, I don't use it. I see the other comment about it not being removable, but when you go to assemble the chair, which is very simple just leave the back off. If you decide you want it on, it literally takes two seconds to put it on.

The top cushion is removable and it has a zipper at the bottom to remove the cover to clean. The back of the top cushion also has a small black panel with a Velcro strip attached to it so that it affixes directly to the chair to prevent the cushion from moving. Unfortunately, the seat cushion is not removable. The legs don't come attached but are easy to screw on. Hope this helps :)

I'm pretty sure you can't remove the foot rest. If I remember correctly I called the company when I first got the chair and they said you can't. The foot rest is too high for me so I stopped using the chair.

Yes this can be assembled without the armrest . The armrest comes separately and has to be assembled onto the chair seat so it's your choice.

You don't remove the seat but you have to remove the wheels all the time. But it's a very good chair to travel with. We went from Miami to LA with it and we were able to bring it with us on board.

No; it's a stand-alone backrest to be used instead of a chair. Think of a lawn chair back cut off & adjustable side braces fitted to it. It allows you to have a "chair" experience while sitting on your bed, for example. HTH.

No it is not, which is the only downside. However, because the backrest is so adjustable it really can't be attached

No. The seat cushions are attached. You wouldn't want removable reclining seat cushions.

Yes, the footrests are entirely removable. It is a very nice wheelchair for the money..

No! back rest sold separately and is ridiculously expensive. like another $100.00 for a small pad cushion.

Hi John, the foot rests are removable. I can tell you we are very happy with the chair. I never had a need to remove the wheels, it fit fine in the trunk of the car. I lifted the chair into and out of the car without a problem. Great chair at a great price.

Yes the leg rests are easily removed. We own two, one to keep in my car at all times and one that my husband uses on a daily basis inside the home. We have owned them for almost a year and have had no problems. I appreciate the light weight for getting it in and out of the car. I highly recommend this chair.

No, I don't believe there would be any way of attaching a back to this chair.

Yes, if you remove the two screws that secure the back, it will slide off.The seat itself is not removable.

I do not think the back rest can be removed but it does fold back so the person can lay in the water.

Yes, the can be used without the tray. I didn't add it and the chair is great!

You can control the backrest independent of the footrest. The back can be adjusted to have only a slight recline. It is not truly straight up but may feel that way.
