I bought this for my 95 YO Mom who is rated by the home health care nurse as a "fall risk" who needs stability and support using both hands when walking. Mom was using a two wheeled walker sucessfully but the nurse said the roller walker would allow her much better mobility and speedier transit. The home health physical therapist for Mom recommended this walker. On a recent trip to where she lives, I assembled the walker in about 15 minutes. It is nearly ready to go out of the box. The backrest slides into it's position and snaps into place securely. The handles have the brake cables attached and are simply inserted into their respective tube. After they are adjusted for the proper height for the recipient, they are secured in place with provided hardware...no tools required. :-) The instructions are brief but sufficient.
The walker is very light (weight) because it is constructed using all aluminum tubing. It is easy to lift and collapse for storage or taking with. The backrest is designed so that it can be raised and lowered. The benefit of these two features is that the walker is easily folded and inserted in the trunk of a car. If the backrest is fixed in place, as many are, it is a wrestling match to get into in a car's trunk largely because of the protruding immovable backrest.
Pros:
Recommended by PT
Reasonable price
Extremely easy to assemble - no tools required
Nice build quality
Easy to take with you - fits into the trunk of a midsize car.
Easier for older people to lift thanks to aluminum construction
Cons
None encountered - however, if the brakes needed adjustment, it looked to me to be a non-trivial task and would require tools. Neither my Mom nor my 87 YO step-dad would be up to the task. Not sure where they would get help and when a service was found, the service to adjust the brakes would likely cost more than the price of the walker. In fairness to the Drive people, my step-dad's Medline walker's braking system looks to be equally daunting if it needed adjustment. Hmmm. Might be a business opportunity...lots of roller walkers in Fort Myers.

My Elderly Mom LOVES Her Walker - See Why HERE

it is inexpensive and EASY to add foot supports to this walker
12/8/19 update: a friend of mine who is 81 and has always been very active has recently been injured. I took this walker over for her to use. when I mentioned that it could double as a chair for her if she was someplace and needed to sit down, she said no,. she said it wouldn't work, because her feet didn't touch the ground, so she couldn't use the chaur to sit on. I looked for accessories for this walker and found none to support the feet. So, using the search term 'foot hammock', I found what you can see in the second picture. There are a group of items that people can buy to sit more comfortably on a plane. these products also work for this Drive walker that has a wide hook underneath each handle grip. I purchased two models: one that didn't work satisfactorily was just a single pad to place both feet on, and it was very uncomfortable for her. But you can see in the picture that the second model i purchased has individual foot cradles, and you can't see it but there's a long strip in between them that hangs between the hooks under the walker handle-grips. the storage space where the seat lifts up fits a thick jelly-like seat pad, which we move forward so that it hangs a couple of inches past the front of the seat. this puts the pad between the edge of the seat and her legs, which prevents the seat from digging into her legs as her feet dangle comfortably down without putting any (detectable) pressure whatsoever on her back. the little stirrup foot hammocks roll up and sit on top of the jelly seat pad, ready to pull out and use whenever she needs them. the stirrups have a connecting belt between them at the bottom, but we don't like it, and leave them disconnected so she has the freedom of movement offered when the cradles dangle separately. her seat equipment is with her all the time, and this walker now CAN double as a seat because her feet have support in the space of a moment. the foot cradle hammock product that worked for her, that you can see in the picture, is: GIMSUN Airplane Footrest Travel Foot Hammock for Flight Bus Train Office Home-Plus 1×Sleep Mask, 1× Foot Rest Flight: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZJZVVZ7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. you can easily adjust the straps to whatever length is needed. i was so pleased with the result that i wanted to post it with pictures, even though they aren't very clear.original review: initially, i purchased this for my mom in late 2013 when her heart went out, to use when she got home from the hospital and rehab center, but she refused to use it. it wasn't because anything was wrong with it, she simply refused to use a walker. but i always liked it and have kept it around just in case it is ever needed. then a couple of weeks ago, while practicing a cranial-neural energy-healing modality on a friend, i really needed a taller chair and thought of this walker. i tried it, and it turned out to be a perfect height while seated to position me about 18 inches higher than the head, and my arms can actually rest on the handles of the walker, making long cranial holds much easier! the big rollers make it highly maneuverable and easy to reposition while seated. i can personally attest to the fact that the seat on this walker really works and is comfortable.
