is the foot rest removable?

The chair requires some assembly so you do not have to put the foot rest on. Not sure if that will affect the sturdiness of the chair though. Maybe contact the manufacturer to be sure it's safe.

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.

It would be easy to remove as it is assembleb. However would probably impact the stability of the side legs!!

The footrest is part of the reclining position and automatically lifts when reclining. When in normal sitting position the foot rest is not operational.

It is all put together. The foot rest is the only part to install, which is super easy.

There is a Phillips head screw holding the feet on. I'm guessing they are removable...but I haven't tried yet

no! When the foot rest comes up the back goes down slightly until the foot rest is all the way up then it reclines as far as you want it.

Yes the footrest are swing away and can easily be taken off by lifting up off the twp pins that hold them in place

it does have a footrest. the handle on the right side will push it out but when it is new it is very stiff.

Yes the cushion is removable. It velcros on in the back in four places. The cushion is nicer than I'd expected. Holds up well.

Yes, removable. Actually it comes without the spikes in place and you put them on as you assemble.

No, neither the base of the chair nor the footstool. Everything else has a zipper that allows removal.

Frequently my Mom (who I bought this for) does not use the foot rests either - the one that I purchased does allow us to take the foot rests off entirely. Hope that helps!!

Yes it is removable, attached by velcrow. We liked the chair very much but did not find the vinyl cushion very attractive. So my wife used the vinyl cushion as a template and made her own, a much more attractive one.

No the foot rest is not adjustable. This is a great light weight wheel chair. If you purchase, you may want to consider a foam pad to sit on.

Yes, and the cushions on the back can be taken off as well. A little firm when we first got it but has broken in.

Yes...but you would need to use the footrest to at least take some weight off the chair....the chair is well worth the money.

Yes. The entire footrest can be easily removed. In fact, I can do it myself from my chair if necessary

Although there is the cross piece in the rear, I do think the foot rest does provide some stability by holding the bottom legs together. Even without the footrest, it would remain functional, however
