Persons with physical impairment often have difficulty maintaining independent living at their own home. Simple daily activities such as getting up and out of a low seat chair can prove problematic. The claimed invention provides a lift system and method of installing the same that the physically impaired person can adapt to and raise a particular piece of furniture with minimal physical effort. The adaptable system includes a pair of lift assemblies, each lift assembly having a first rail member and a second rail member that are slideably engaged on a first end, having a riser on each second end. At each riser location there is a flip out guide that provides a visible pointer to facilitate alignment with the furniture leg without having to bend over or lift the furniture. For increased stability an optional cross member can be fixated between the first and second rail members.

A dining chair includes: a pair of support legs having inner surfaces, the inner surfaces defining a pair of slide grooves, each of the slide grooves extending along a direction that is parallel to a surface; a seat having a front end, a rear end, and two opposite sides between the front end and the rear end, one of the sides including a first side, a second side, and a shoulder formed between the first and second sides, the first side slidably received in one of the slide grooves, and the shoulder abutting against a closed end of the one of the slide grooves; and a locking mechanism fixed to the seat adjacent to the one of the sides of the seat, the locking mechanism including a locking member that is to move past the second side and abut against a rear end face of one of the support legs.

A multi-position seat for a boat is configurable to support a person in different positions, such as one or more seated positions and one or more standing positions. The multi-position seat can include a seat bottom, a bolster, and a rest. The bolster can be movable between a use position and an access position. In the use position, the bolster is located above the seat bottom, and in the access position, the bolster is displaced relative to the use position. The rest is movably mounted relative to the seat bottom and positionable in a leaning position and a retracted position. In the leaning position, the rest extends upwardly at an angle transverse to the seat bottom to support at least a portion of an occupant leaning against the rest. In the retracted position, the rest is displaced relative to the leaning position.
