Stannah In The Mountain West

• Affordable on most budgets, the Siena chair was engineered to be dependable and easy to use. This lift has proven to be a great option for almost any situation.
• Designed to position the user’s spine as close to the wall as possible, the Siena allows the user’s feet to sit securely on the footrest, making for a more comfortable ride.
• By linking the footrest to the seat, we’ve made folding up your stairlift even easier. Simply lifting the seat will raise your footrest until it is in a secure position. This extra layer of safety is especially important at the top of the stairs.
• Siena has the only seat belt designed just for a stairlift. Instead of being tucked down by the users’ hips like most stairlifts, the Siena has a retractable seat belt that is mounted near the tip of one armrest, and which can be operated with one hand. It simply latches into a hole on the opposite armrest.
• Upholstery choices. Choose from any of our six vinyl upholstery options to find the one that fits your home.
• Downside armrest protection. For additional safety, the armrest nearest the bottom of the stairs must be lowered before the chair can be moved from the using the control on the chair.
• A compliant control. Instead of being a hard switch, the control on the armrest is slightly soft and shaped to allow it to be pushed by many parts of the hand.
• Stannah has the best testing process in the industry. All Stannah stairlifts are tested at full load for the equivalent of 10 years of use, and the motor/gearbox is tested for the equivalent of 20 years. This is a robust stairlift designed to serve you well.

Dimensions measured from the wall are nominal – the addition of a wide baseboard or similar obstruction may affect the dimensions taken from this point. The dimensions are accurate, but you should add 1″ clearance for the user.
