Specialist Insight: The Array is Rhythm's standard-duty wheelchair β where the lightweight Cadence uses an aluminum frame, the Array uses carbon steel, making it more economical and rugged for everyday in-home or facility use (a K1/K2 standard chair rather than a lightweight K3). Two details are worth calling out: the desk-length arms are both reversible and detachable, so you can pull right up to a table and slide in or out from the side, and the dual axle lets you drop to hemi height for foot-propelling. On seat width, go 16" for a smaller frame, 18" for mid-range, or 20" for more room; on leg support, swing-away footrests are lighter and simpler for transfers, while elevating leg rests raise and support the legs for swelling, circulation, or a leg that needs to stay extended. At about 40 lbs, it's sturdier than a lightweight chair β if minimizing weight is the priority, the aluminum Cadence K3 is the step up in portability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I choose the seat width and leg support?
A: Pick the seat width for the user's size β 16", 18", or 20", all 16" deep β and choose leg support: swing-away footrests are lighter and simplest for transfers, while elevating leg rests raise and support the legs for comfort, swelling, or circulation. Both selections are made at checkout.
Q: How is this different from the lightweight Cadence?
A: The Array is a standard-duty steel chair (K1/K2) β more economical and rugged, at about 40 lbs. The Cadence K3 is a lightweight aluminum chair (about 35 lbs, K3 class). Choose the Array for value and durability, or the Cadence for the lightest weight.
Q: How portable is it?
A: It folds to just 13 inches wide, so it fits in a trunk or closet, and the reversible desk arms and dual-axle hemi option add flexibility for transfers and foot-propelling. At about 40 pounds, it's a sturdy standard-weight chair.
