3150RL reading light next to couch

The wall lamp mounted next to the couch was factory installed too low and was always in the way of us being able to push the couch back against the wall. (Not sure how they missed that one when they put the couch in?)
Rather than purchase a narrower couch or love seat which may or may not allow for additional sleep overs when we have the Grand kids, I removed the wall lamp and hung a nice picture my Wife found which covers the lamp mounting holes.
Since there are already two additional overhead lights right above the couch and dining area, we found we didn't miss the wall lamp and now have five additional inches of living room.

It's amazing that something they've been doing for years, gets changed, then creates an issue where you have to do something to correct it. My chairs clear the extensive lighting just fine since 2006. The only problem we've had is finding the strength to move the heavy chairs out of and into travel position. Others solved the problem by buying lighter chairs or purchased slides to put underneath, and while these are good ideas, it's more money spent.

We didn't care for the leather chairs which came with our coach. They were too heavy to push back into place when breaking down and they didn't swivel. I tried to sell them back to the dealer who stated that there wasn't much of a market for them??? How strange they charge me top dollar for something no body wants, and the're new?? We tried to sell them also but got no bites so maybe they're right??
Anyway, we went to a furiture store and bought two cloth recliner swivel rockers for half the price of the leather ones and they slide back real easy on the carpet when breaking down. "So much easier to move and more comfortable."

We changed the two swivel rocker recliners for a rocking love seat. I just put the love seat in the recliner position while traveling and it doesn't rock.

I should have removed our light too in our last Monty. Good idea!
