It appears that the foot rests can be adjusted, but that it would be complicated to remove them. Is this correct?

When needed, the foot rests simply fold up and out of the way. There is no need to remove them or have the rider/patient stand. I like this hassle-free, quick change option.

The seat itself can be adjusted and raised from its position. However the footrest cannot be raised as I thought it would. There is another model that allows the footrest to be raised separately...I wish that I had purchased the latter myself.

They are not adjustable and if you remove them you are removing the back rest too because the armrests are what hold the chair together.

Only height. You can adjust the height of the foot rest as well, but adjusting the angle of the back is not possible.

Hi Megan,From my recollection, they are rigid and cannot be altered.Hope this helps.Bill

Yes. A standard wrench can be used to adjust the foot using the hexagonal area just above the foot.

Yes, the foot rests can be adjusted up or down (and the leg rests are detachable or you can swing them back as needed).

yes the footrests are detachable. the chair is very sturdy but quite heavy.

Technically yes they are removable..they are held in with screws underneath , however I imagine it would make it kind of awkward without that section of the arm rest.

I have not had occasion to adjust the foot rest. I haven't found a mechanism for adjusting the length.

The rubber tips are removeable. The legs could be shortened and the rubber tips replaced afterwards.

Not very easily. Removing the casters will reduce the height of the seat by 2 inches or more, and it may be difficult to locate suitable leg slides or caps.

yes the legs can be removed as well. you can take each leg off separtately. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.Thanks,Melissa

I haven't tried that myself, but I suppose you could. If I was going to do anything to these, it would be to lengthen the legs. Then, I would add pulls and wheels to the bottom (trundle) to make it easier to move in and out. Those are easy fixes, too, I think.

Yes, there are removable as well as can be lowered like a normal wheel leg rest.

Short answer is yes. I found a footrest to be very helpful for longtime standing comfort.

Never tried to do that but I think not as the foot bar links those side bars together and I don't think the foot pad separates from the bar. Liked this chair when I had my hip replacement but one hole didn't match up exactly and had to get help from the handyman in apt building. He had a tough time too.
