[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, can you give us an idea where you are located? Is your mom in DC or is the whole family elsewhere?

I strongly second the recommendation for Room and Board if mom is happy with a modern (not trendy) style overall. Their case goods are in general better than their upholstery, and definitely better than those from the other major chains, but in any case their customer service and delivery service are very, very good.

Re Crate and Barrel, I have just been there sitting on every single couch and could not find anything suitable for older people to get in and out of easily. (Shopping for my arthritic self and older relatives.) [/quote]

Hey - thanks for the response! They are in Bethesda. Mom (alas) is really not happy with modern but maybe we could at least find a sofa there?? Mitchell Gold type furniture would also work for them. She said she realized that their (ancient) custom sofas in the living room just aren't comfortable. They need a small dining set that could be expanded for family dinners. They need new recliners. They need beds. They will have a very small den that we aren't sure how they're going to configure yet - I suggested a pullout sofa if anyone wants to stay. They're currently in a 5BR home with LR, DR, kitchen, Family room, den, finished basement. It's going to be a big transition....!!
