22" Seat width and length.
I'm not a big butt man, just a big/tall man.
I wish I was a little frame guy like some others.
I'm 6'6" and around 235lbs. To non-Americans, that's 1.98 meters and 107 kilo's.
I may have been in a 20" 20 years ago and I was skinny as a rail then.
I'M NOT A FATTY!! Sorry... got a little defensive. lol

16 by 16; fits very nice. If it was any wider I wouldn't be able to fit around my apartment very well. With the 16" wide I find I can fit almost everywhere. So this means I definitely can't gain weight. I don't have a cushion; the whole wheelchair ordering etc...was so botched that I ended up not getting a cushion but I'm an l4/l5 so I do without for now.
I've only had the chair for 6 months and it's already falling apart. I had to take it in because the bearing were falling out of the wheel housing, whenever I go fast the thing shakes, now the bearing are falling out again and the chair rides to one side. It's a type of chair not meant for serious use. It's a thing with the DME place; they keep giving me the business. I know they have quickies but they say that insurance companies won't pay for the quickie Hmmm......I got to do something. The thing is about ready to actually fall apart.

No. No. No. That's for those damned continental snail-eating foreign Johnnies.
You mean for us proper non-Americans, you are 6ft 5inches and 16 1/2 stones.
Carpe Diem
