The Low Back Utility Chair is the plain, hard working answer for a client who cannot get out of ordinary furniture. The seat is firmer and sits higher than a dining chair, the height adjusts across a wide range, and the depth adjusts too, so the chair can be set to the client instead of the client working around the chair.
Padded armrests give something to push from, and the contoured low backrest supports the lower back without getting in the way at a table. Two seat widths are available, the wider one with a higher rated capacity, so a larger client is not squeezed into a seat that does not fit. The powder-coated steel frame and mocha vinyl upholstery wipe down, which is why these chairs turn up in facilities as often as in homes.
It suits a client with hip or knee stiffness, or reduced leg strength, who struggles to rise from a standard dining chair and needs a set seat height with arms. It also works as a kitchen perching chair or a waiting room chair. It is not a lounge chair: it is built for sitting at a table or a bench, not for long periods of sitting or for pressure care.
