Yes, it is, and this chair is very comfortable for rocking. It is a little heavier than a regular folding chair.

It can be used somewhat as a wheelchair; but I would not recommend it for an every day use as a wheelchair. It does have a foot rest for your feet.

Yes, it folds and a fifty year old woman with arthritis can lift it - but I don't know how much it weighs. I used mine to get around my office with a broken leg and the chair is in storage. I lifted it with arms and leg supports disconnected. It is five pieces.

It is NOT a folding device. It can be lifted by the handle near the foot end of the device and rolled where ever you want the device, but it does not fold up.

Yes, it is folded up (the legs fold in against the seat). When you receive it, unfold the legs and it is ready to use.

It is; however I would not buy this chair because I had to return it because the strap that clasps to keep it folded up was not made long enough and although they did replace the chair the second one was exactly the same. It's a manufacturing and quality issue. Spend a little more or go to Costco for one.

no, the seat and the back are sturdy vinyl. we got a fabric cushion for the seat. this is a great wheelchair for taking in the car.. it folds up easily.

If you are referring to a back rest, no. It is not a chair. The seat, as with many walkers, is intended for resting while using the walker, not a long term seating option or means of conveyance. It it is not a wheelchair, but it is a really well thought out and easy to use rolling walker with a bit of style that does not scream "nursing home."

YES! It just folds out and ready to go. My grandpa can even set it up and pick it up when they need to get my grandma's electric cart outside.

No. Its basically a flat bench. Very well made, tough as nails. I would buy again in a second. A bargain.Folds up easily and fits in my Motorhome storage compartment perfectly.

Because the legs elevate, it's still pretty bulky when collapsed. Might want to look at one with fixed legs that is lighter and smaller. Seemed easy to put together but I work in healthcare and have dealt with wheelchairs of all types for 25 years.

Hi Jan, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Silver Sport Reclining Wheelchair with Detachable Desk Length Arms and Elevating Legrest. This chair will fold up for transport. Below is a link to the product manual which gives instructions on how to operate the chair. Link to Product Manual: http://www.drivemedical.com/media/files/988/SSP_Reclining_Hangtag.pdf

Yes. I just used this model of Drive transport wheelchair for a 3-day weekend with my father. If you look at the photos, each side has a rubber-padded tube extending in the back just inside each rear wheel. You can push down on either one with a foot while you pull back the handles at the top with your hands. This helps lift the chair over a small bump or ridge. Just be careful! This isn't meant for off-roading. ;)

Is the wheelchair a standard folding wheel chair. If so., it will have two bolts that screw into the bottom of the arm rests. The pads sit in a tray. When you get the pads you put the tray down first, put screws thru the tray and into the arm rest pads. Hope this helps.
