Having had Alacrity for 19 years now Jo and I have decided to refit the saloon.
The saloon has a fixed “L” shape dinette which converts to a double bed since there are just the two of us and the dinette isn’t that comfortable. We were thinking of stripping it out in favour of free standing furniture. I was also thinking along the lines of a real wood floor with rugs.
We have been looking at The Ikea “Poang” armchairs with footstools, we first saw them in a cottage we rented in York, and after a day doing touristy things they were great to relax in. Ikea give them a 25 Year Guarantee and they are a flat pack item so no worries about getting them in (embarrassing moment with the new fridge and door saga necessitating removal of door frame and some skin).
We would also need a table possibly a folding one or one that hinges out from the side. anyone got any ideas?
As to the floor I’m torn between a fully real wood floor or one with an engineered core and a 5mm real wood veneer given the changes in humidity and temperature I’m not sure which, more research needed.

Hi Lesley,
Thanks for the response I will drop John and Kathy an email and take a look at Leather seats online.

Hi John
John and Cathy on Marmaduke have recently bought the Ikea chairs, they might be worth having a word with, also, I can recommend a company called Leather Seats OnLine (www.leatherseatsonline.co.uk). Joe and I have just bought to good quality leather recliners at a very reasonable price, compared to Wilsons. The service was excellent.
regards
Lesley K
