Full-length arms keep the rider farther from a table. The Nova Ultra Lightweight Transport Chair uses padded desk-length arms so the chair can roll up to a desk or dining table. A companion pushes from behind on 8 inch wheels. Choose Blue, Black, or Red.
Desk arms sit shorter than full-length arms so the rider can get closer to a table. They stay fixed. They do not flip up. Compare the flip-up Nova if the arm has to move for a car transfer.
This is the 19 inch ultra-lightweight Nova, not the 17 inch chair and not the steel 319. Use the seat row in the spec table.
The frame folds and the back folds down. Rear wheels lock. Lock them before a transfer.
Blue, Black, and Red are the same 379 model. Compare 377B-R if you specifically want removable wheels in Blue.
This chair is for a rider in the 19 inch class who will be pushed by a companion and wants desk-length arms to sit closer to a table, not full-length arms.
It is a weaker fit if they need flip-up arms, 12 inch rear wheels, removable travel wheels, or a wheelchair they can self-propel.
Arm style is the first cut among the 19 inch Nova aluminum chairs.
Trade-off: you get desk-length arms in three colors on a light aluminum 19 inch chair. You give up full-length arms, flip-up arms, 12 inch rear wheels, and a self-propel wheelchair.
