Those look great Jeff! How did you secure them and the lamp?
 
Have not got that part figured out just yet...any ideas?
 
In several of our previous boats we had recliners. We would put down an area rug with a non skid pad underneath the carpet. Worked well keeping the recliners in place.

For my recliners I put a small screw pad eye 2-3’ up from trim where curtain hangs down. Then small one under trim edge of where table is mounted. Then tues small line when needed. Then we’ve found they don’t even move around much offshore. So we seldom use it and Mine are probably lighter than yours. Lamp - take off shade and lay down on floor behind the chairs.

This is what I did. You do need a cross member for this method

I made these U shaped brackets for a futon in the Green boat. Worked very well

sorry yes Very soft leather very durable
 
We removed our sofa and bought Ekornes Stressless recliners. They are expensive but much more comfortable than the knock-off ones.

Oh yes! We love ours as well.

We bought some Ekornes about 16 years ago and moved them to several boats. Loved them but they went when we sold our last boat. Our Formula wouldn’t have had room for them anyway.
 
Stressless

Take a hard look at Stressless. $$$ Worth every dollar.
 
Like I said we had ours for over 15 years and they still looked brand new,
 
We bought this Lazy Boy recliner a few months ago. Its electric reclining. I like it as I can take the back off and get it through our back door. I was told that this is the Admirals Throne and I am to keep my backside out of it!!
