A cane-style mounting system that replaces the fixed back on a Model C2 with an adjustable pipe frame, so a custom backrest or a seating specialist's positioning hardware can be fitted to the chair.
An adjustable cane backrest mounting system for the WHILL Model C2, giving a pipe frame that custom seating hardware can attach to.
What stands out
This kit is not a backrest, it is what a backrest bolts to. The Model C2 ships with a fixed back that suits most people, and for anyone it does not suit there is nowhere to mount an alternative. The cane system solves that by giving the chair a pair of adjustable uprights, which is the standard mounting most aftermarket backrests and lateral supports are built for. So the buyer here is almost always someone working with a seating clinic or an occupational therapist who has specified a particular back. If that is not you, you do not need this part. If it is you, this is the piece that makes the Model C2 compatible with the rest of the seating world.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- have been prescribed a specific backrest by a seating clinic
- need lateral supports or positioning hardware mounted to the chair
- own a WHILL Model C2
Look elsewhere if you
- just want a taller back, which the Model C2 High Back Seat does more simply
- expect a backrest in the box, because this is the mounting only
- own a Model F or a Model R, because this part does not fit either
