Would this desk work on a wheelchair?

I think it should, granted you'd want to buy two of them and use the rubber bands included to keep them together if you plan on using it for supporting anything substantial like a large sized laptop but I think this should work fine as a basic desktop for most standard width manual and power wheelchairs.

Hi, Sorry, but I don't know. Perhaps if you contact the seller with the distance between the two arms and length (how far forward from the back the arms extend) on the wheelchair he or she could tell you. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I think it will. You should measure the width from handle to handle of the wheelchair and compare the measurements from the item description of this tray. I can tell you it is very sturdy for writing and eating.

I believe that this chair requires a min. 25" width clearance. So obviously someone could push the wheelchair thru a 26" wide door or use your feet (if possible) to 'walk' thru, however self propelling by using the back wheels would be difficult - not a lot of extra elbow room/most likely scraped fingers.

I have this desk and have used it for several years. It is very sturdy and works great. Yes, it could be assembled without the wheels. That may make it a little low for comfortable typing. I've had several chairs through the time I've used this, and even used it next to a couch and another living room chair, in some of those cases, the height of the chair was an inch or two off (either way) and made typing less than optimal. If you don't type much, it probably wouldn't be a problem.

Yes if this person still has some mobility, capable of not pushing back, little resistance. It is really just a transport chair not a heavy duty wheelchair.

I have never seen one on a wheelchair but if there is an 1 1/4" tube somewhere on the seat or armrests it would work.

I don't see why not. It's slightly reclined and a bit low, so if he has a higher desk, you might want to toss a cushion or somesuch to boost the seat a bit.I have used it at my desk, and it's been great.

It can be used somewhat as a wheelchair; but I would not recommend it for an every day use as a wheelchair. It does have a foot rest for your feet.

We have it on a walker so I'm not sure how it fits on wheelchair. Work really great on a walker.

Depends on the height of the desk of course but I would say it is a little low for a desk chair

My only additional thought is it depends on how mobile the person in the wheelchair wants to be. If he/she is on a flat floor & mostly wanting a place to rest the glass, it should work if the base fits measurements Jan provided. Going over door sills between rooms may be more difficult. I wonder if a napkin circling the glass will increase stability? Another option might be a fine quality (translate "attractive & a little special") flat bottom juice glass.

It attached very nicely to a flat surface on the arms of a chair where the top of the clamp can fit on top of the arm and the vee-shaped underside of the clamp has room to fit on the underside. A nightstand would have to have a substantial overhang (minimum 2-1/2" suggested) for it to work. It would not work well on the round arm of a wheelchair. For the intended use, it works extremely well and is highly recommended.

Chris D. I am sorry I do not know about a wheelchair. However, in a car or chair at home or work, it is great. I think I would give it a try in a wheelchair. The best to you.

It mounts on the axle bolt and uses the wheel frame for bracing and support. Don't know exactly what your wheelchair looks like but I doubt that it would work.

I order it for my mom and it did nothing for her,i am not sure if it would work for someone in a wheelchair

I would think so. It would depend if the chair is high. But if your feet are able to touch the ground. It would work.

I would say yes with a little strategy and maneuvering. Maybe a small table behind the wheelchair it can be done.
