This is my ratty old reading chair. My elbows have worn right through the leather and all the internal mechanisms have long since quit working. So why do I keep it? Besides that I hate change, it's comfortable and functional. It doesn't have to be pretty.
Something I have changed recently though is to add some boards under the chair base to raise it about 3 inches. This makes a small yet significant difference to how easy it is to stand up when my hips are being arthritic.
We are expecting a week of autumn temps instead of the nasty winter temps we were dealing with. I've got a few outdoor items to cross off my list and this is my chance.
I don't know what this week will bring so, if possible, stay home and stay safe.

You too! Good idea on the chair.
Something doesn't have to be beautiful to be a thing of beauty. (Gaaahhh, does that make sense?) I say keep using and enjoying your chair for as long as you want.
We, too, are being given a week of warm temps. Well, up into the high 40s, low 50s anyway. What a reprieve for those outside chores that sill need to be done before Old Man Winter arrives again! Who knew we would have to wait for November for this?
Oh I love a good chair to sit and read in - once I am in position it is difficult to get me to move.
