Review of the Pride Classic Collection

Review of the Pride Classic Collection

Pride’s Classic Collection, which used to be called the Casual Line, is made up of four different lift chairs. They are designed to offer functionality at an affordable rate, so these are usually the least expensive Pride Lift Chairs Available, starting at around $700.

One of the unique features of the Classic Collection is the armrest design, which not only has a very interesting look, but also is angled slightly away from the seat, providing a very comfortable place to sit.

Different Lift Chairs in the Classic Collection


Putting the Classic Collection in Perspective

The lift chairs in the Classic Collection are very similar and can basically be broken down into two groups. You have the C-10 and C-15, with the C-15 being slightly upgraded and offering Three Recline Positions.

Then you have the C-20 and the C-30, which have a slightly higher weight capacity. The C-30 is a Three Position Lift Chair and also offers a slightly different design, while the C-20 is a two position lift chair.

Of the two groups, they are basically built on the same design, just with the C-15 and C-30 being the slightly upgraded versions.

Thoughts on the Classic Collection

The Pride Classic Collection is one of the more affordable lines, but still offers a very elegant style. The chairs do not have as many special features as others, but they will get the job done and most people who go with either the C-15 or the C-30, which are the three position models, are very satisfied. Starting at around $700, the price is hard to beat, but remember that usually this base model doesn’t really meet all the needs of the user.
