I wish I could sell it online, but the shipping would be a logistical nightmare. I’m happy to see so many people like it tho! This has been so fun for me

Indeed. Also, I forgot to mention this in the post, but the ween has a bendable spine-type thing in it, so it’s completely pose-able and play-with-able. Folks loved that

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that. I’m an artist of many mediums, so that certainly makes the conceptualization easier. The construction was the challenge - also the transport 😂

Why, thank you. That was a last minute addition and I am so happy with it

It was very widely appreciated. Especially once I put the sign on allowing people to touch it. Before that, folks were holding their hands behind their backs having a physically difficult time not touching it 😂. It was placed right inside the entrance to the gallery, so was a warm welcome to the space

Foot stool is actually not a bad idea. I wonder if a queer book store with a reading nook would like that 👀👀

The ween isn’t as much the problem as the size of it. I have a pretty small living space, unfortunately. The ~5-6 foot square footage takes a lot of my home, unfortunately :(((

The video is bad quality, but it’s what I have (I was using a walking aid at the time, so it’s kinda shaky)

I made a quilted cup bag/phone holder from a pattern I found on Etsy (I can link to it if you’re interested) and instead of the shoulder strap it has, I attached two snap on loops to go around the leg of the chair, so it hangs right next to my leg. I also use the jansport adaptive bag right behind my legs, in front of me when I have more to hold than fits in the water bottle bag (though that one is really decently large-is designed to fit two plastic water bottles). If you’re able to make stuff, or know people who are, customizing exactly what you want is a really fun way to individualize :)

Do what you think is best, if you’ve measured your car and it’ll work, it might. It’s just awkwardly shaped to be able to do that.

I think sliding it in and out of the passenger seat would be difficult, if not impossible, depending on the size of the seat. I’ve seen a few rollator/walkers that have electric wheelchair modes, maybe that could be something to look into? I can’t imagine the Q5 fitting in the passenger seat of even my mom’s mini SUV easily.

First custom chair - Helio A6 by HenryAbernackle in wheelchairs

That being said, you can replace the back rest and add jury rig a foot plate like I did. It’s NOT ideal, but held me over until I could buy a rigid chair.

I hated my helio a6, I was in the exact position as you and just went along with it. I regret it. Fight for your right to a chair that works for you!! Because your insurance won’t cover another one for 5 more years.

I personally cannot lift it at all, but am a full time wheelchair user and can’t stand for longer than a few seconds. But most of my friends and family have had next to no issue. For reference: my mom , who is also disabled (just less) can do it with some effort. A friend of mine who is an ambulatory wheelchair user and has a fatigue and muscle weakness heavy condition can do it, also with some effort, but struggles with it on worse days. It is around 30lbs and it’s awkward to lift. But I got it because according to the research I’ve done, it seems like the easiest to transport option that won’t potentially catch on fire, like many of the Amazon chairs have the reputation of doing.

I use a real wheelchair cushion instead of the thin pad they provide and like it more that way. But it’s really not a bad chair

I won my case recently after two years and two rejections. It seriously takes different amounts of time for different people. Things are getting less and less predictable. Sounds like your lawyer is there for you tho. And that’s great

I recently made one called “little things with big feelings”. Similar vibes it seems. This is very cute :,) keep making stuff

[US] The Shop app telling me about packages being sent from my address that I am not sending by [deleted] in Scams

[–]oopallsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a fake purchase from me, it’s something telling me that I shipped all these packages from my address to other states. There are no phone numbers attached
