I got this for my husband who is having problems walking. He finds it easy to use and likes the fact that it is lightweight. He's 5 ft 9" and finds the height of this frame set at its shortest setting just right. It can adjust up by about 3". The handles are angled such that it is more comfortable to hold.
If you decide that you'd like the version with wheels on the front legs, the firm can supply them for about £9. It's easy to switch from fixed to wheeled legs: there's a clip-in system that holds the legs in placed and this is interchangeable with wheels.

I bought one of these for my father about 6 to 8 months ago after he bent his old frame and fell over. He weighs about 80kg or so.

He has now bent this one and fallen over. The bend occurs on the form leg at the join between the lower leg and the bracing at the lower end of the frame. However, I will buy another of teh same type because I can't find a stronger one.

Unfortunately, I needed this zimmer frame for my mother in-law who lives abroad. The packaging was very outrageous as it was in a very huge packaging and I was unable to take the frame with me on my journey.Returning the frame has become another issue which is going to cost me five times the amount charged for delivery. Not encouraging at all. I am stuck with an unwanted zimmer frame until I get back next week. What a loss? I tried to stop the delivery but my efforts failed. I got a decent foldable one from Argos.

I like the fact that it is quite tall, makes you walk straighter, but is a little bit heavier than some, which is a bit awkard for the very frail. Overall quite good for money

THIS WALKING FRAME HAS BEEN A GREAT HELP TO ME. I WAS HARDLY ABLE TO GET AROUND DUE TO INFECTION IN MY FOOT AND KNEE. THE FRAME HAS MADE ME MORE MOBILE WHICH IS WHAT WAS NEEDED TO HELP ME GET BETTER. I HAD CONFIDENCE IN IT FROM THE START AND FIND IT EASY TO HANDLE, MANOEUVRE AND SUPPORT ME.

THE HUGE THANKS GOES TO ESSENTIAL AIDS WHO WERE HELPFUL AND SUPPORTIVE AND REPLIED PROMPTLY AND COURTEOUSLY TO MY QUESTIONS. THEY SPEEDED UP THE DELIVERY OF THE FRAME, AT NO EXTRA COST.

IT CAME AS PROMISED, WITH A KIND AND HELPFUL DELIVERY MAN.

IF YOU NEED A FRAME, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GET IT FROM. YES, REMEMBER, ESSENTIAL AIDS
