When it’s time, it’s time.  When you can no longer take the peeling pleather or the awkward side sit from one side of the recliner wearing out, think residential furniture.  I am amazed at how many items you can find that will ship in a box right to your site.  When the electronics quit working on Dave’s recliner, we found this oversized one that fits perfect into our space and through our door.  It’s a great sitter and napper and after using it for over two years, I can honestly say this has been one of those great purchases we have made.
