After standing and dealing with the world at my eye level, I wouldn't go back to my first chair for a "million bucks".

I don't care how lite it is!

I don't get it.

Why would I pay $16,000 to tilt or recline when I could stand up for less money?

This is what I should have gotten right out of rehab.

Once I thought about it, it was an easy choice.

My therapist was pushing me to get a regular lightweight,  wheelchair.  She said it would be better for me to use for sports, to use with my car, etc.

But dad said if I can stand up... I would be healthier and stronger.   PLUS, I could probably get my old job back.  AND if I went back to work, then I could afford to buy a lite weight chair myself.  Maybe even get a truck, also.

Now, I'm using my standing chair for work and therapy .. and with my earnings, I bought a sporty chair for goofing  around.   I truly have the best of both worlds.

After sitting in a wheelchair for two years...standing was like heaven.

It was overwhelmingly relieving.  I cannot even describe the ecstasy of standing.

I could actually feel the circulation and reduction of swelling in my lower limbs.  

Glad your company has made what seemed impossible ...to be possible.

I've had my chair for over a year and don't know how I got by without it.

O.K. so I go into a restaurant and ask the hostess if we can sit in the bar at one of the taller tables.  She gives me a funny look.  By the time she returns with our orders I am now standing 6'2" and she almost loses her whole drink tray in front of everybody.

This chair is a great complement to my workout routine.  I am getting stronger every day and will use this until the day I don't need it anymore.

Keep up the good work.  I love you guys!

Since Samantha received her standing wheelchair two years ago, she has become so much more independent.

She now can brush teeth at the sink, loves doing dishes, can get her own drink from the fridge and shoot her rifle with her dad, etc.  The Standing Wheelchair has helped our daughter in so many different ways.

We had the opportunity to spend a few days at The Standing Company in Saginaw.  The folks there are awesome!!!

Thanks for making Samantha more independent and confident in herself.

Me and my red wagon I just built.

I did it all alone including the staining.  My standing chair came in real handy to reach the top heights.  I could not have done this job (or the many other jobs over the last six (6) years around the farm) without it.

What a good company and staff you have.   We enjoyed coming there.

My son, Mike, suffers from Friedriche's Ataxia and is in a wheelchair full time.  He likes lifting weights and keeping in shape, but he always had a problem with poor circulation and cold feet.

Mike's standing chair has helped much with better circulation over the last three (3) years.  His feet never looked or felt better.

We will be getting another standing chair soon for Mike's sister, Nissa.  Thank you so much.

Thank you for making the Superstand Standing wheelchair.  This chair has helped me become stronger and healthier.

It has helped straighten my spine and sitting in the chair is so very comfortable.

Plus I am far more independent than before. The last three (3) years with this chair have been a joy!

The Superstand Wheelchair has changed my life.  It's great to be able to stand and greet people eye to eye now.

No one could conceive  what a wonderful experience it is to stand after 6 years of sitting.

And I am really standing ... not just sitting higher up.

This is exactly what I had been wanting ... and didn't even realize it!

It has helped change my life.  I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and have a full time job.  At 27 I was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy.

Now I can stand anytime I want during the day and it helps my circulation and blood flow.

I can reach things and am able to remain home alone during the day without fear of losing my balance and falling.

The chair for me is fun.

The Superstand Wheelchair offered our son the chance to go forward with his life, to be able to do more of the things he enjoyed and cared about.

During the last three (3) years Jack has had the opportunity to be self-sufficient and healthier by standing.

I wanted to thank you for the chair.  I have enjoyed being able to stand up and be six feet tall again.

The opinion around the engineering department at Purdue is amazement.    It's really neat watching my professors' faces drop when they realize how tall I am.

Marlon has gotten stronger since we received our standing wheelchair (two years ago) his legs, arms, and back are noticeably stronger.     He is now able to move his legs and he can pull his left leg up.

My son can swallow better.     Before we worried about the liquids going into his lungs, now he can drink without any problems.

I had not stood in twenty years before I met The Standing Company over three (3) years ago.

The Half Power Superstand for me is the perfect combination of power and manual.

I can get around on my farm yet still stand manually in about 2-3 seconds.
