G'day everyone. I'm looking at getting a new w/chair. I got a quickie Ti at the mo. It's been good but I'm pretty rough on it and i've had it for about 2 and a half years now. Just wondering if youse guys can give me any thoughts on your chairs and info about them like how good they've been for you so i can get a feel for which one to purchase next. Also, how long do you think a rigid frame chair generally lasts for before thinking bout getting a new one? I'm T5, got pretty good upper body strength and balance, and are fairly active and sports minded. I'm not looking for replies on a sports chair. Just a normal, everyday users, rigid frame chair. Really keen on any feedback. Cheers. Moxy.

I am currently using two chairs, and I highly recommend them: TiLite ZR & Quickie XTR! TiLite ZR is for every day use & XTR for outdoors! They are both very strong and so far I haven't had any issues (FYI - I'm 6'1", 200 lb guy).

I was given the musical chairs treatment in hospital. Best chair I ever had, the one I have now, was an Otto Bock, a lightweight model. I saw an active rigid frame model come in one day- much sturdier than the Quickie's etc, slightly heavier but it was a solid piece of kit- I'd really recommend this company, they know their stuff.
