Finding the sofa and armchair at Sears in Leon, an hour away by (a friend's) car was only the first step. We received a courtesy call a week later to say they would be delivering the next day.

After all that, getting the armchair up (here being hauled up to the roof of the skyroom with Louisa looking on, left) was a snap.
