They do, though. Most tables don't sport the room underneath to allow a wheelchair, this if one goes out for dining, one needs to transfer to a regular chair.

If possible ofc, but it sincerely limits the scope of restaurants you can visit if you can't switch seats.

i always wondered why the arms of wheelchairs weren't adjustable/removable. It seems like it would be a smart thing to implement. I can move my office chair arms up and down, forward and backwards, i even have about 30° of rotation available

They do. My dad had one, made it way easier to get him in/out of bed.

They do and it's very common, no idea what that other imbecile is blithering about.

Can you put boxes of pounds of force on your office chair's adjustable arm along different vectors without it moving as you use it to get in and out of the chair without your legs?
