How heavy is the footrest? I want to take it on a cruise.

It feels pretty light. I would guess at no more than 1 pound or two. The problem isn't weight. It's rather large. you can easily rest four feet (2 pairs) side by side.

Its very light weight but bulky and awkward to carry around. If you put it in a bag it would be OK.

Hi James, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! This foot stool weighs 6 pounds and should be easy to be moved.

It's light enough thAt my wife can easily take it out and put it back in our car because I'm handicap. I have also done it. I estimate that its less than 20 lbs with the leg rests attached.

I agree with the others, Great chair and very comfortable. Somewhat stiff to set up as others have stated. As far as the weight , 5-7 lbs sounds right. I would also agree, it would be quite the task to set up on a sandy beach for them.

i'm no sure about the weight, but it's not heavy. it's a little bulky and doesn't transport easily. It is a very nice chair though.

We bought the chair for my mother-in-law and my wife can easily put it into our PT Cruiser and take it back out w/o straining. Both of us had a very difficult time with the full size steel chair they purchased about 10 years ago. I did weigh it about a year ago but I just weighed it again to make certain - 23.4 lbs w/o the footrest and they add about 3 more pounds when attached. I am a big man (5' 11" and weigh 275 lbs) and I can sit in the Medline Transport chair comfortably.

Its pretty heavy and cumbersome for travel- 2.6 lbs (i weighed it for you :) and quite tall too and I also think the swivel mechanism would break if you packed it and transported it in a suitcase

I'd figure no more than three pounds, it's more bulky than heavy. Perhaps you could mail it, and then not worry, or carry it on and use it in flight as cover.

They weigh approximately 4 lbs but are very flexible. I just folded one of them into thirds. However, I feel you could pack items hard items or items that need to be protected from breakage (ie shampoo,make-up,hair brush) into the foot part of the boot as the sole is relatively solid or fill the entire boot with miscellaneous clothing items. The boot is not rigid which would make it easy to shove into tight luggage space. Have a great trip. I would recommend wearing light weight boot socks...you're feet may sweat with long periods of wear.

Hi, I bought this chair for a friend so I am not sure on the exact weight but I don't think it is to heavy. I'll call him and ask if he happens to know.

The seat is very light. Just this past weekend my wife and I attended a town event on bleachers, which makes this seat ideal. My wife, who walks with a cane, carried hers and mine (I had to be in a different place and she is very stubborn). My point is that the weight is insignificant.

I weigh around 235-240 and I sat comfortably in the chair. One of my clients weighs around 250-260 and he sat comfortably as well. Unfortunately, a larger individual will have difficulty in the chair as the arms are rather narrow. It can also tip easily if they attempt to rise off of the footrest.

I don't believe the footrest is designed to hold any weight other than your feet..I love my footrest, but I wouldn't even try to stand on it. Maybe someone you know could make a 3 piece wooden set that would make a sturdier lift for your speaking engagements.

When I bought the chair my husband was near 300 lbs. It held him just fine. However, I found the chair foot rest in the wrong place, not easly adjustable. The chair was not easy to colaps for travel. I gave it away.

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.

Hi Elsie, it is a very comfortable 2-1/2 pounds. It does the job nicely. Hope this helps.

The chair weighs approximately 22lbs. without the footrests. I always fold the back down and it fits in a large trunk with no problems. I prefer to put the footrestson after I get it out of the car.
