How much trouble would it be to regularly pick up &amp; put down to switch between standing and sitting, maybe twice per day?

This mat is similar to a small door mat or bath mat. It would be easily moved out of the way for if you needed it. I got a tall stool that I lean against/ sit on when my legs get tired and that solved the problem of changing positions for me.

Scooting/walking is not a problem. With the seat being adjustable for leg length, moving forward and back is not a problem for me. The left and right movement is controlled by the bar attached in front; however lateral movement could be cumbersome based on terrain and whether or not the ground is on a angle uphill or downhill.

I sit for hrs at a time at my computer. Fine with me. Seatv can be changed out when I need too.

Not easily. In my experience, the knob has a lot of tension (so it's tiring to raise it or lower it a lot), and it's quite slow to raise and lower the bench. It makes more sense to adjust it before sitting down. It's not like a lot of office chairs, where it's really easy and quick to go up and down.

I think that this one may be a bad choice for you. It is very comfortable to sit in but my mother in law who has peripheral neuropathy has a hard time getting in and out of it. If you have someone to hold the chair steady and help you in and out of it, it may be okay but if you don't I wouldn't recommend it.

Change once a day. Or every other day if you use the way I do which is only use at night

I'm 72 and it was hard to get used to, but decided to concentrate on me, not it. If I sit back with one hand on the lounger, I know if I just sit, it will be there. we swing awhile, but that's OK. Getting out, I do the same, plant my feet firmly and just get up with the help of the arm rest or edge of lounger. It will swing again, but not hard enough to cause any damage. It would be nice if it was easier, but love my chair anyway.

Yes you can. I am the only user so I did it once and have not touched it since. I don't know if it would be easy to adjust frequently but I do not see why unless you are quite heavy.

Yes you can. Although I have two bilaterally, which allows stability on both sides to hoist yourself up from seated position. The springed feet allow you to place and keep cane feet compketely on floor as you push off even at an angle which is often the case as cane will be taller than seated height and the angled position will give you good traction. Lifting from seated to standing is one of my main uses to help w lower deficits. Note as w any cane including this great one - the user needs good upper body control to support weight from sitting standing

it would be easy to switch, but you may need to tighten it after switching, it's not a 1-handed job. I don't know what mechanism the peavy has, so I can't answer that question. the quality of this stand was much higher than I expected, tho

I myself would use it every other day ,at least twice a week.Hope this helps

Well, I find it a little awkward, but certainly not unsafe. I call it a 'commitment'. That is, you don't use it like an ordinary chair; plan to settle in and stay awhile. We love ours.

I use this twice a day, with active movement.qt work im always walking, squatting and sweating so it helps out quite a bit :)

I wouldn't call them "easy", but they're not impossible, either. I switch fairly often and don't mind, but it's not a total breeze. If you're changing often, I'd recommend a seatbelt install.

Should help quite a bit because it elevates you to a slightly higher position so when you perform sit to stand, you are not starting as low. Best thing would be a higher chair with armrests you can push up on with your hands/arms.
