I had good luck with 1-800-wheelchairs when I bought a chair for my Mom. The chair was well made, inexpensive, and lightweight. And there is a wide range of designs for the seat and back - I got Mom a nice plaid. This way, the chair is distinctive and won't get mixed up looking like everyone else's. They also sell accessories for wheelchairs like rugs and chair pads and those basket thingies that hang on the back. I highly recommend them!
