Last month, I got my first new wheelchair in 14 years! I was heavily involved in designing the new chair: taking measurements, picking accessories, and making difficult design choices. I love my new custom titanium chair from Hands On Concepts, but there were some definite trade offs to some of the decisions I made. If you have questions or want to share your own experiences, please do so in the comments!
