Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a chair over a wall seat?
Because it fixes to nothing.
Rented or listed property.
Walls that will not take a fixing.
Or a need that is temporary.
It is carried in and out again.
When is temporary the deciding factor?
Recovery from surgery or injury.
A few months of limited mobility.
Nobody wants to drill a bathroom.
For something soon unnecessary.
A chair answers exactly that.
What replaces the wall anchorage?
Footprint and feet.
A wide stance resists tipping.
And rubber ferrules grip the floor.
Wet, soapy and sometimes sloping.
That is the whole stability story.
Which part actually fails?
The ferrules, well before the frame.
They perish, wear smooth or fall off.
And then the chair slides.
On the exact surface it was bought for.
They are a routine replacement item.
Why does seat height matter so much?
Because standing up is the hard part.
Harder than lowering yourself down.
A seat set too low.
Turns an independent user into one needing help.
Adjust it to the person, not the room.
Is back and arm support available?
More readily than on a folding seat.
Which suits somebody who cannot sit unsupported.
For the length of a shower.
Arms also help with standing.
By giving somewhere to push from.
What does it cost the room?
Floor space, permanently.
In a bathroom with none to spare.
And something to clean around.
It can be moved out between uses.
But rarely is, in practice.
