This welcome mat converts into a fully accessible wheelchair ramp. Beautiful and functional design. I want it.
Some more info, for people who are interested.
First of all, I can’t believe this has almost 3,000 notes. I’m so glad that people are sharing this – both as a cool design, and also as an important accessibility feature.
Thanks to pseudosoph for linking to additional info (above) regarding weight limits, lift height, and product background – the creator is a wheelchair user himself! Very cool stuff. Keep sharing!
This isn’t a fail. Just wanted to share an accessibility win so people can get ideas for improving accessibility
The OTHER thing about this not mentioned: It’s not permanent.
Which means if you’re renting your home, you won’t get into trouble with/need permission from your landlord and can take it with you when you move.
