Platform For "Lift" Chair

contest winner icon
As I have gotten older, health problems are rampant. I have problems with my hips and it had gotten very hard to get out of the my chair. My husband and I priced lift chairs. Even the little portable lift is all too expensive to even dream about.

So my husband spent around $20 for lumber and built a 3 inch high platform for the chair to set on. This raised it up high enough that I no longer have to have assistance getting up. This idea was a combination of need and frugality.
