What is the chair bus?
The wheelchair bus is a service that is a large part of our skilled dealers offers. In short, it is a bus that comes to private homes with agreed chairs so that they can be viewed and tried in your own home. Of course, a consultant comes with you who is trained in adjusting the chair ergonomically so that it fits you. Therefore, you get an otium chair with seating comfort that is second to none.
Where does the chairlift go?
There is a wide range of Farstrup's dealers who offer this service – you can find the dealer nearest you who offers home visits with the wheelchair van here. Some dealers operate the chair bus nationwide – this means that no matter where you live in the country, you have the opportunity to use the chair bus service.
Who is the chair bus aimed at?
In principle, it can all book the chair bus to come on a non-binding visit. However, it is a service that stems from a desire to be able to offer all ergonomically adapted seating comfort, especially for people who have difficulty getting to a dealer, for one reason or another – for example, they could be elderly or have walking difficulties.
How does a visit with the chairlift proceed?
The consultant and the chair bus with the selected chairs will drive to your home, the consultant will take the chairs into your home so you can see and try out which chair suits your needs. The consultant will guide you in the correct ergonomic sitting position – and in what options there are with Farstrup's various chairs. It is possible, among other things, to test whether more lumbar support is needed, whether the chair should be higher – or whether other adjustments are needed that will make you experience exceptional seating comfort. With the Farstrup Comfort principle, there is the possibility of a wide range of adjustments that will make you sit perfectly and the consultant will guide you all the way.
The consultant has textile and leather samples so you can see and feel which upholstery you want on your future Farstrup chair, there will also be a wide range of colors to choose from, so that the chair has the look you want. In addition, most of Farstrup's chair frames are available in both solid oak and beech with different surface treatments, which is why the consultant also brings wood samples with the different surface treatments - so with a visit to the chair bus you have the opportunity to get a completely personal chair designed especially for you and with the personal look you want. If you do not find a recliner that suits your needs, the visit is of course completely non-binding.
Can I choose which chairs the chairlift has?
Basically, it is you who decides which models you want to try in your home. Perhaps the consultant can guide you to which chairs will suit you - based on whether you have any specific challenges that can be met with a certain model. It may also be that you are very tall or very short - so there is something regarding your ergonomics that needs to be considered in your future chair, so that you will sit perfectly. So it is you who decides which chairs you would like to see and try in your home, of course within the framework of what there is space for in the bus - but you always have the opportunity to be guided by the individual consultant who drives the chair bus and knows Farstrup's chairs and their possibilities very well.
Do I have the option to choose the wood and upholstery for my Farstrup chair when it is with the Chair Bus?
The short answer is YES! The chair bus has sample chairs in the models you want, or that you have agreed with the consultant can fit you and your height - so that you will sit optimally, or that have the functions you need as support. The chairs that are brought are only sample chairs, you design your chair yourself.
