Is carpet a good choice for a wheelchair user?  If so, what type of carpet do you recommend? Thanks.

In some ways yes, and in other ways, no.  Check out this link that goes over the pros and cons of carpet for people with disabilities.  www.findanyfloor.com/Disability/Di...

Yes, it is a really neat section.  They have been very careful to ensure that the site is accessible and helpful to everyone, those with disabilities included.  I'm glad that you were able to benefit from the info.  It's a perfect example of why they take the time to do this!
