We bought my mom a Pride lift chair a couple of years ago. It still looks very good and operates well. I didn't have an opportunity to shop around, as she had an injury and needed a chair right away. I happened to find one in stock at a medical supply store that fit her decorating scheme as well as operated easiliy. She is not a petite but her feet touch the floor, at least for a few seconds each day; she almost always has her feet up! :) Good luck in your search.

Thank you Geokid, it looks great! The TV is something I haven't figured out what to do with, so I'm ignoring it. We watch it maybe once every 3 months, no kidding, so I'm not worried about it yet. I may put the tv on a wheeled cart so we can put it in the room when someone wants to watch it. The desk that used to be in my plans will now go somewhere else, too. It won't fit in the living room and still have the room look nice. The thing behind the sofa is a sofa table. I've never owned one. It is there only so I can put a lamp on it, instead of needing another end table. Everyone in my family reads a lot, so we need plenty of light. I think in the other thread it was you who suggested the runner, the armoire, and a bench in that area to the left of the front door. I simply replaced the bench with an upholstered ottoman so it could be used more than one way. I plan to buy Hancock and Moore or Bradington-Young sofas. If I buy fabric-covered chairs, they will be either Taylor-King or Jessica Charles. I think one of the chairs will be a power lift recliner by Hancock and Moore because my husband really needs one of these. We are going to a furniture store to check out recliners this weekend, to find out how long the back has to be from seat to top, since he is tall, and to make sure that a recliner would be best for his needs. It literally takes him 5 minutes to get up from our sofa, after having 4 strokes last year -- his gross motor skills aren't the greatest. Recliners take up a lot of room; I am cognizant of that. I don't know if one that will fit him (and that he'll like) will be so big that I'll have to figure on getting a sectional to seat 5, plus a recliner, and no other chairs. I am limited by the small size of the space and the max 30" front doorway (that is if I take the storm and front doors off). I have a 38" wide sofa in there now, and it was a bear to move in, so I will probably buy a 37" wide sofa. For lighting I plan to use table and floor lamps. Thank you for your help. I appreciate it so much!

You will have to call the manufacturer

This are low-voltage (12V) wires on that side of the step-down transformer (black box from 110 outlet) and no danger. Your puppy is interested in wood and the leather, not the wires because they are attached to metal, and chewing metal if of little interest. If electrocution is a real concern to you, the only dangerous wiring is from the wall outlet to the transformer, so just convert to battery power (rechargeable) and then it's all 12v. You can buy the batteries on Amazon for about $ 80 and that just changes the power feed to your transformer box. The plug-in outlet is then eliminated. Where puppies go to is the arms and front panels. The leather is soft and chewable, and there is yummy foam underneath it as well as wood. tognaw into. A chewing puppy can destroy your leather sofa in 2 hours or less. Having raised a lot of dogs, the real key is to control the behavior. Crate training a puppy is the only way to go, and they are in their crate unless out with you and supervised. Also, forbid them from coming up on the furniture, they don't need to be there and its easy to keep them off. Good luck Duane Collie
