DMI® Lightweight 2 Cut-Out Bariatric Wood Transfer Board

Perfect for my quad cane, I will be buying more to have Handy.

In early 2016 my secondary progressive MS sentenced me to the chair – for life. Three years later and I'm still obstinately using a manual wheelchair, though it does have a handy detachable motor assist that I can use for ramps, slopes, deep carpets, grass, sand, snow, lava, and other soft surfaces denser than water. But standing has gotten increasingly difficult with the slow progression of time. One big problem for me is transferring between the wheelchair and the front or back seat of an automobile. I was given the small version of this for home use; shorter distances and equal heights are perfect with it.Getting to and from my son's car became dangerous without the board, and remained risky using the short transfer board. So I bought this one. I'm overjoyed. The greater length and width provide much better stability. The large rubberized anti-slip pads on the bottom at each end provide a much greater sense of security when the wheelchair and the car's seat are a few inches apart in height. The surfaces of this board are heavily varnished and completely smooth. The combination makes a transfer that is easy and rock solid.This board does not sag at all at any point. I've tried out a couple of supposedly sturdy plastic boards the same size and maximum weight capacity; they sagged alarmingly in the middle. I felt as though I was in danger of a sudden plummet to the ground. There's no sag with this board. It feels as steady as something that's really steady. Highly recommended.

If for whatever reason you may require a slide board, (transfer board), you should consider this board. I purchased this particular stronger board that will hold greater weight without being cumbersome because our weights may differ over time. Having had this board for years it has retained it's good appearance and has never failed me. Product safety is a necessity. This is a reliable board that has provided safety over time. I do not forsee the necessity of purchasing another board for a long, long time.
