I am looking for a ultra light weight ridged frame chair. I want to stay away from Quicky. I have a Q7 and have nothing but problems with it.

I have not found a new chair yet. I've not heard back from Quicky about my frame breaking on my Q7. I have re-engineered my topend to get it to work OK till I decide on a new chair. Still looking for opinions. I will NOT by another Quicky for sure. All I want is a reliable ridged L frame chair.

God Bless
Andrew

andrew, my first chair is also a Quickie Q7, and I'm with you on the frustrations! I didn't break mine, but the damn thing is so heavy! And whose idea was it to make a chair out of aluminum?!?!?! Thing cannot take a beating. I have a Quickie Ti Titanium, but sadly they don't make them anymore I'm in love with the damn thing! When I qualify for a new chair, I will probably go with a TiLite since they are very similar to the Quickie Ti, and I've heard nothing but good things about them. At any rate, I would NEVER get a Q7 again! I'll always go with a chair that has a narrow spot for my feet too. I notice most chairs do not have a narrow foot rest and my legs flop around in the wide space. And nothing but a titanium rigid frame and Spinergys for this girl!

Good luck!

P.S. Q7s make good coat racks! ;D
