## Questions & Answers

**Q: What shade of blue is the blue model? Navy, light, dark, bright?**
A: Ours is Navy blue, quite dark.  We have also added a wheelchair cushion makes it more comfy.

**Q: en que material esta**
A: Alunio. El tamańo ideal para transportarlo en carro (auto-coche). Muy practico.

**Q: How wide is the whole chair.  The available space for my mother to move dad into the bathroom is just 21 inches so I need to know if this will fit.**
A: it's close as it's 20-1/2" outside armrest to outside arm rest. If you have possibly a 2nd bathroom you could take the door off as I did for clearance. That gives you roughly another 1-3/8". I bought a shower rod, rings and used a cheap shower curtain to act as a replacement door. My bathroom was laid out so that was possible and with a towel bar close I just used a bungee cord to hold the curtain back. I also bought a 60" door jam protector, cut them in half so I had 2 30" pairs and used 1 pair to protect the jams. I have used them for a year and still have the 2nd set to use if the get damaged bad. Hope some of this has given you some Ideas.

**Q: What are the dimensions of the chair when it is fully folded?**
A: 29" H   7"W  24"L
As I've said in previous posts, this is an awesome chair.  I've had mine a few months now.  My wife has no problem lifting it (even with one hand) and putting it in the car.
A LOT lighter than a full size wheelchair. Great buy!!
