JR's list #7: (done) Raise the daybeds and corner table in the office by at least 7".
It's true. You can find just about everything you need or want on the web. I was given a great daybed corner set (two daybeds and a bamboo corner table). I set them up in the room I use for an office. They really make great couches. For me, the large pillows that came with them were cumbersome and stiff, so I gave them away and purchased a set of bolsters and daybed covers.
I got the daybeds set up with the new bedding, but the side of the covers were too long. Also, because the beds were set so low to the floor, I was having trouble getting up and down when I sat on them. I found some stacking furniture lifters and tried them, but I didn't think they were stable enough and the beds could not be moved without falling off the lifters. I went back to the internet to look for furniture parts. I discovered a whole industry designed to make adjustments to the home which assist the elderly with everyday living.
I found the website Homeplace Parts (www.homeplaceparts.com). They had a great selection of furniture legs among many, many other things for repairing and rebuilding practically anything in the home. I was able to get 7" legs to attach to the beds.
Now, the bed covers no longer touch the floor and I now have additional storage space as a bonus. Best of all, I have no problems sitting down on or getting up from the daybeds.
