For almost one year, my spouse has pushed to get a recliner with a cup holder in it; Everytime him and I go furniture shopping or past a store with chairs, he is all over me. The recliners with cup holders are the ickiest things in the world. They are made out of ugly material, a dull fabric plus are immense in size. For my husband’s birthday I am going to get him a recliner, only a much better option. I needed a chair that fit what he wants, but also looks good enough for myself and others to want it in the home. I called a custom furniture builder plus the girl is currently making a recliner. I picked out the exact measurements that works for the space in the home. I talked to the gal about material plus the color. I wanted a chair that blended with the rest of the furniture plus was comfortable to lay in for my husband. I talked in length over the cup holder idea. I did not want the cup holders obvious when someone walks into my home. The custom furniture builder had so many ideas on how to hide them. Had talked about a fabric cover over the holder or even making it so the armrest goes down when pushed. Then every one of us talked about how far the chair will lay back plus how long the piece will be when pulled out. In the end I assume my husband is going to enjoy that chair.
