    What is MCM? (man cave madness?)

    I have stated before, that I was not a big couch person after having to move my furniture myself. That makes a difference in what you look for, as ones I could generally move myself are junk.
    Also, as I have learned, I like to be able to adapt a room to different needs, after seeing how the family takes up space at holidays, etc. (and room layout plays a part on multiple levels).
    There are some tables made by a company called Meco Stakmore, that I thought would be either good entry (weird space) or couch console tables, that could be used as a dining room table for family dinners.
    I expect to have at least space for one lift chair (between myself and my father now) and there are quite a few chairs that can turn into beds, but the ones I am/would be leaning towards if I beat this cancer are Vonanda sofa bed plus. As ottoman's, they could be used like bench seating for the table/thanksgiving dinners, or I could turn them in the room to face the tv (basically the room is meant for conversation with the way the old couch from Steve is, or chair for watching tv).

    Sorry, I am no help, I just am too used to being my own mover.

    I never would have thought of that issue! My Bloodhound sheds a Pomeranian-sized mound of undercoat a day, it seems.

    with my last piece of button back furniture, it was the back of the unit that accumulated the cat here. If the fabric is leather, it might not be so attractive to collecting cat hair, and it also depends on how light and floaty the pet here is.

    I do not have curtains or drapes in my home due to floating cat hair. I found cat hair to be more of a problem than Dog hair.

    For the moment I have abandoned buying this piece of furniture. It’s just too complicated. I don’t know why I’m having so much trouble but I am having trouble so let’s stop for a while.


    This week I bought an old rug instead. I didn’t have to think too hard about that, just measuring, looked through eBay for a couple of days and Bam bought the rug from Turkey.

    I’m currently hung up on the logistics of getting the old sofa out, and the new sofa in, which will require cutting down a few trees and rebuilding a trail. With some luck I’ll get this done this holiday weekend.

    That's some effort for sofas, bae! Good luck!

    This somehow reminds me of the sofa situation from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
