Free: Vibrating lounge chair (Solon, but we could deliver) This was used by my mother-in-law for many years and it could be considered an antique, but the vibration still works and the heating may be weak but it still works. It is very easy to layback or the sit upright in it. It could use some reupholstery, but usable as is. We would prefer that it go to somebody than take it to the landfill!
