Mine's arrived too :dance: :dance: and DH very sweetly immediately assembled it for me -- and then insisted on photographing me with it. Apologies for the cheesy grin in some of them; I've actually deleted the worst from the camera...

We got it set up just to the right height and positions, and it seems to work beautifully so far -- I'll give it a longer trial tomorrow!

Ooh, that's lovely Mabel. I'm getting impatient for mine now and it's not even ordered

I know this is a bump but I'm just getting ready to order my Lowery and I had a couple of questions for you ladies.

I think I'm going to be getting the corner clamp version (the Side clamp is out of stock and I often use hoops or qsnaps, and I think the corner version might be better for that

I'm wondering if I'm going to need the L arm extension. My chair doesnt have wide arms but I don't want to be squished

My question is this - if you use the Lowery without the extension, do you wish you had gotten the extension, if you use the Lowery with the extension do you think it makes much of a difference

Oh and opinions on whether I should wait and get the side clamp or just go for the corner clamp are also welcome

thanks people

I don't really know about the extension, though I do have times where a longer arm would be better, I do cope fine with the normal one.

I have the side clamp but really struggle with small hoops or any size q snap, they rotate and you can't get them to stay still, so the corner clamp sounds as if would be the better solution for you.

Good luck!

I have the side clamp and no extension. It's fine for my sofa, but I suspect I will need the extension at some point in the future when I get a larger sofa.

There's a picture here of it at it's minimum setting:

And a pic here of it in use (though I was trying to show the chart attachment which I now never use!)
