Reconditioned Lazy Boy Recliners
One of my hobbies is restoring old furniture and selling it. One of the most profitable pieces of furniture to restore is a lazy boy recliner.
The reason they are such a lucrative piece of furniture is because they are comfortable and maintain their resale value. I buy the chairs at pawn shops and thrift stores. Sometimes I can even find some at the garbage dump (though it has to be in good shape for me to take it).
Some of these chairs I pick up are in various conditions of disrepair. I use some of them just for the lazy boy parts inside, while others just need some simple restoration.
Once the chairs are restored and sold I throw in a lazy boy slip cover (which I buy in bulk) to help the customer match their new chair to their home. This adds the finishing touch to an already reconditioned chair. You would be amazed at the waiting list for the chairs I recondition and the number of satisfied customers - this alone makes my work worthwhile.
