Would this be appropriate for a 235 lb person

Yes we got this for a lady close to 300 lbs

I have a drive wheelchair now for my husband new pad and swing out footrests the problem is I need a chair that measures 28 inches from the outside ?

This chair is about 28 inches outer wheel to outer wheel. I have very narrow doorways of 30 to 34 inches. I just make it though, but sometime knock my knuckles.

Does the chair come already assembled?

Hi Oscar, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Silver Sport 1 Wheelchair with Full Arms and Swing Away Removable Footrest. This wheelchair does require some minor assembly such as attaching the swing away footrests. The rest of the chair comes together.

can a person when sitting move chair around by themsleves

Yes. The wheelchair has a standard handwheel located outside the drive wheel on both sides. The occupant of the wheelchair can move the wheelchair via the handwheel, without getting his/her hands dirty on the drive wheel. This assumes that the occupant's left and right hands and arms are operational.
