I purchased the ADA Lap and shopping basket from Don and quite happy with it.
The product is good. I can install and remove it easily when I sit in
the wheelchair.
I did not try to put 20 pounds as Don mentioned but I feel the basket
stable enough for
heavy weights. It becomes even more stable if you insert the base
deeper under the cushion decreasing
console length.

The product price is high (relative to its complexity in my view) but
Don gave me a good discount indeed.
I recommend the product and Don's shop.

Regards,
Gennady
