Again my chair doesn't work. In the beginning, it only made weird noises when the footstool was in its out position. Now the chair can only go up or down. Neither the footstool nor the backrest can move. I'm getting very tired of all the problems.

I'm glad that I'm not dependent on the chair, but I'm at a point where I want a chair that works - more than two months at a time. At first, I called the repair company and told them that the chair made weird noises, and they would come by and look at it when they were nearby.

The week after that, I had to call them again and let them know that neither the footstool nor the backrest would move. Several weeks after that, I got an 'ok' to have my floor replaced, so I decided to call the company again and ask them when they planned to stop by. I don't want my new floor ruined.

The guy from the repair company has looked at the chair. He easily located the problem, and he suspected that the problem was caused by the initial transport damage. He found that the reason the chair is making noise is caused by a crooked chassis. At the same time, he also found a loose connection in the wiring, which caused the footstool and the backrest to work intermittently.

He was very thorough, and there were two courses of action. The repair guy wanted to replace the chassis, motor, wiring, and so on. He simply wanted to replace everything on the chair except the footstool, backrest, and seat. If the manufacturer wouldn't approve it, then the chair would need to be sent to the manufacturer, and that would take time. The repair would take approx two weeks for the repair guy, but it would take three months if the manufacturer should do it. That is a long time to do without my chair, especially since I haven't been able to use it half of the time that I've had it.

I'm crossing my fingers that the repair guy gets to repair the chair.

The footstool on my chair stopped working in the days up to Christmas. A couple of days later, I was eating at the kitchen table when a loud bang sounded. After a thorough search, I found that one motor had left its suspension. Again I contacted the store where I bought the chair, but nothing happened for two days. Therefore I decided to contact the company that repaired the chair the last time.

A couple of pictures and an hour later, the company had created a warranty case. Because of the holidays, they were not able to get the spare parts before Christmas. When they called at the beginning of last week, I was expecting an estimate of when they could repair the chair. To my surprise, they already had the spare parts and wanted to know when they could come by and fix the chair. Since I work from home every day at the moment, we agreed that they should come the next day.

The motor was changed, which also solved the problem with the footstool. The repairman had just left when I saw some deep scratches on my floor. I called the company, and the repairman returned and was very sorry. Currently, the company's insurance company has created a case, and I have to get two offers on what a repair of the floor will cost.

I hope that it can be fixed relatively easily, so I don't have to move the furniture out of the living room.

I haven't been that lucky when it comes to the purchase of my chair. Firstly, the delivery time was extended because of the Covid-19 pandemic, and I had to wait several months before I received the chair. When the chair was delivered, I discovered that the base frame was crooked. Luckily, it didn't take long to get a new base frame from Germany.

Then it took some time getting used to sitting in the chair, but today I can't live without it. And what doesn't work this evening? The footstool. And what is the one thing I can't do without? The footstool. There's nothing else to do than to call the business where I bought the chair and report the problem. I hope that it is possible to fix the footstool before Christmas, but I don't think it's realistic. I'll cross my fingers... and toes :-)

Jeg har fået min lænestol! Yesss, så skal der slappes af. Det var en flink mand, der kom med stolen, og han blev positivt overrasket over, at jeg havde gjort klar til, at han nemt kunne komme ind i huset med stolen. Han viste mig, hvordan stolen fungerede, og så smuttede han igen.

Nu er mit største problem så, hvordan jeg vil have sofaen og stolen stående i forhold til hinanden og fjernsynet. Heldigvis er jeg ikke så konservativ, men jeg prøvede mig frem. Først undersøgte jeg muligheden for at spejlvende min hjørnesofa, men det var ikke en mulighed. Ideelt set ville det være bedre, hvis jeg 2 stk 3 personers sofaer i stedet, men det bliver ikke nu.

Først fik jeg placeret sofaen vinkelt ud fra væggen midt i stuen. På den måde blev stuen stort set delt op i 2. Fordelen var, at jeg ikke blev så meget generet af sollyset som tidligere, men til gengæld kunne jeg ikke sidde og se ud på fuglene/haven.

Så undersøgte jeg muligheden for at få et kvart hjørne til min sofa, men det var heller ikke en mulighed. Men så slog det mig, at sofaen godt kunne vinkles inde i stuen, og det, synes jeg, er et godt resultat.

Midt i mit flytten rundt på stol og sofa fandt jeg ud af, at foden på min stol er skæv, så jeg skal have kontaktet firmaet, så de kan skaffe en ny til mig. Indtil videre har jeg fundet et par bøger at lægge under det ene ben, så jeg kan bruge stolen.

Det er på tide, at jeg bliver voksen. Med det mener jeg, at det er på tide, at jeg lærer at sidde i en stol og f.eks. se en film i stedet for altid at halvt ligge og halvt sidde i sofaen. Det er nemlig dårligt både for ryggen og nakken. Jeg blev for alvor opmærksom på, hvor dårlig jeg er til at sidde op, da jeg kom hjem fra hospitalet og skulle sidde mere op i stedet for at ligge ned, fordi det er sundere for kredsløbet.

Jeg har i forvejen svært ved at finde møbler, fordi jeg gerne vil have muligheden for at hvile nakken. Desværre lider alt for mange møbler af, at de bøjer hovedet forover, så man er nødt til at sidde og holde på hovedet, og det giver mig spændinger i nakken og dermed migræne. Så på forhånd var jeg noget skeptisk for, hvor nemt det ville være.

Når jeg nu skulle ud og investere i en god lænestol, så ville jeg også gerne have muligheden for at lægge ryggen tilbage. En fodskammel var også et krav, og så ville det da også være rart, at den kunne hæves, så hvis jeg skulle være så uheldig at have det behov i fremtiden, så var det allerede en del af løsningen. Jeg bliver ikke yngre, og uheld sker også. Faktisk har jeg haft behovet 2 gange – første gang da jeg fik fjernet galdeblæren og så i starten af året, hvor jeg var syg og havde svært ved at rejse mig op.

Min far kom med et forslag om, at jeg skulle besøge noget, der hed Seniorshoppen. Absolut nej! Var mit udgangspunkt, så gammel er jeg ikke!!! Spøg til side, så virkede det som et godt sted at starte, men jeg syntes, at det var lidt et nederlag at skulle besøge en seniorshop, jeg er ikke senior – endnu 🙂

Til trods for det meget store udvalg, så var der kun 1 stol, som passede mig. Jeg var selvfølgelig forberedt på at skulle gå på kompromis med udseendet, men det var en noget klodset stol. Og så syntes jeg, at det var ærgerligt, at der kun var 1 mulighed, og dermed ingen ting at sammenligne med.

Jeg prøvede en almindelig møbelforretning, men de havde slet ikke noget, som passede mig (og prisen var ellers ikke i den lave ende). Pludselig fandt jeg en reklame for en stole forretning, som lå lidt uden for en større by. Faktisk kunne man godt sige ‘langt ude på landet’, for der var marker for enden af vejen. Nåh, men de havde også en del stole i udstilling, men også her var der kun 1 valgmulighed. Heldigvis ikke den samme som i seniorshoppen. Denne stol var mere elegant og havde en bedre lift funktion, så den blev bestilt.

Nu kan jeg så gå og vente i spænding… faktisk i flere måneder, for der er sommerferie og coronakrise, så jeg skal forvente ca 12 ugers leveringstid.
