My new dump chair

For some time now, Carolyn and I have been eyeing this chair at Sam's Club. The main reason, of course, is its ability to just about put the occupant in a standing position so that a seated person can get up without doing the Tim Conway/Carol Burnett routine for getting out of a deep chair.

Of course its always important that the chair also be a fully reclinable chair and that it return to to its normal position with minimum stress and energy.

After Carolyn had purchased the chair, the folks at Sam's Club had helped her load it in the back of our van but there was no way the two of us could unload it. But after our usual Friday dinner with Ed & Tiff, they came over to help us. Edward lifted the 150lb box with only moderate stress. While I watched Carolyn, Ed, and Tiffany put the two or three pieces together, put the wiring under the step on wiring chanel and called it a day. I had to try it a couple of times which then meant that everybody else had to try it out as well.


Meanwhile the huge box the chair came in was working its magic on the young 'uns so that pretty soon they had a fort, a kitchen, a boat, sleeping quarters. It was fun to see what they could come up with but the fighting between the kids got too much.
Our little warrior! Camdan found the corner braces to be more fun for him. It was like Luke Skywalker way outclassed with a weapon.
