Collapsible (scissor fold), box‐frame chair.

1. Assessment

Less appropriate than my old chair!! Probably even bigger, too; harder to fit inside bathroom and through doors.

TiLite do make two models of fitted rigid chair: the 1″ dual‐tube TiLite TR and the 1·25″ monotube TiLite ZR. This clumsily‐engineered lump has put me off trying them.
