Re: [A/S] Re: Couch Drawer Question

Lot's of good ideas here.

I'll add another.  Related to the topic of access under the couch.  I 
have the rear Queen bed in my 31, and all those drawer under it are 
fairly hard to get at.  I had though about setting it up to also lift 
the whole of the bed platform up on strut.  similar to those that hold 
up a car hood or trunk lid.  With this added access capability, I could 
also get to the unused areas in the back a little easier.  I t would 
still require getting up, but simply moving a relase lever to open would 
be slick, it wouls move up on it's own for example.  I had though about 
the same for the front couch, if/when I ever get to building the "L" 
configuration that I've seen in other floorplans.

The front version might be with a twist though, I had thought about 
raising the whole of the sitting surface along with the containers,which 
would become shelves, up high enough to just reach in a grab, or put 
things. then just puch the whole thing back down and into it's sitting 
position, out od the way.  I think I can even set this up and still 
maintain the pullout part for the bed setup.  I still need to figure out 
the mechanics, of the linkage system, which might become comewhat heavy 
in the end.  I was just a thought along the lines of ease of access.
