I had a mid-arm, but I sold it because it crowded my sewing studio too much. I would like to have a long arm but the only room big enough for one is the great room. I tried to convince DH that we don't use the sofa enough to warrant keeping it. We could get rid of the sofa and move his recliner and my chair and the lamp table to that side of the room. The long arm would fit along the wall where the chairs and lamp table were. So far he's not falling for it. lol
