Walker works great, large wheels allow for stable movement on a variety of surfaces. I reccomend getting some "balls" for the caps otherwise they will wear very quickly (doesn't need to be the "special" ones, just cheap tennis balls will work fine - they will all show wear after even 1 use).
My only problem was with the shipping & packaging. It was sent in a HUGE (almost 5 ft tall by 3-4 ft wide) package. I couldn't tell you why.. after having spinal surgery there was no way I could get it inside the house.

This is a very reliable walker (as I have several). A recommendation however, switch the wheels to the inside. It does not affect stability, but allows it more places to access. This is particularly true of bathrooms doorway widths, just press the height adjustment button on the wheel legs, slide off completely and switch to the other side (they are interchangeable). The wheels allow it to roll a little, but when a persons weight is applied to the handles the rear legs stabilize it from rolling. Glad I got it.

We bought this walker to fit between narrow 24" doorways. It is lightweight and easy to use. A bit expensive, but worth it. Yes, it comes in a big box, but the product is just what we needed.

The walker is perfect for my small mother-in-law. For the price, the quality is superb. The large wheels work well on grass.

I purchased this walker for my husband, who has MS. It fits through our smaller-than-normal doorways easily, adjusts to his height, and the wheels are adjustable to either be on the outside or inside and glide very well over our carpet.

We bought this adjustable walker for my father who is recovering from a mild stroke. Despite the light weight, it is fairly sturdy and the relatively small size is perfect for use in his narrow hallways. The wheels are big enough to keep them from being caught under furniture and they work great both in the house and outside.

The walker also folds mostly flat, making it convenient to store against a wall or in a closet when not in use.

My father had a little trouble setting it up by himself the first time, but subsequent uses were just fine once it was properly adjusted.

Recommended!

Lightweight, highly recommended, sturdy, adjustable. I changed the rear leg tips to sliders as
the rubber tips that come with the walker doesn't glide very well over most surfaces and particularly
difficult over carpeted floors. I'm considered changing the front wheels from 5" wheels to 8" wheels.
Believe the 8" will roll over small cracks and door jams much better than the 5".

Sturdy, lightweight, great quality, great price. What more would you want?

I bought this for a family member and we've been using it for a few months now and have never questioned the quality or stability of this walker. We don't abuse it at all so I can't comment on how much abuse it can handle. This walker experiences normal use both indoors and outdoors and has held up very well as I expected. It is very stable and easy to open, fold up, and carry around.

This is an excellent buy for the money. The product is exactly as it was described and works very well for a lot less money than other comparable walkers.

same walker you ll find in the big pharmacies for over $100, so its great price, safe and sturdy, no complaints.
