From The Manufacturer

Transport Chairs are already a GO to product because they are so compact and lightweight, but wait, there’s more! Two of our favorite options in transport chairs are with the arms. Desk arms have a shorter and angled resting bar so the user can roll right up to a “desk” or better yet, dining table. The desk arms also comes in a Flip Up option so rather than walking to and from the transport chair, you can just scoot or transfer in and out. The arm height from seat is 10 inches and the arm height from floor is 29.25 inches

Expert Reviews


What experts liked

The flip-up arms are what make Nova’s chair unique. To make moving in and out of the chair easier, all Nova wheelchair users have to do is flip the chair arms away, slide in and out of the chair, and when they’re done, they can swivel the arm right back into place.
Supports an impressive weight capacity of up to 400 pounds. With its width and weight capacity, it is an ideal transport wheelchair for bariatric (or heavier) users. The additional seat width provided by this NOVA chair gives the user additional comfort, especially if narrower chairs have proven to be too confining.

What experts didn't like

Might not be comfortable for user sitting for a prolonged amount of time. Transport chair not for independent use.
