Default Outlet in the Floor

You're right, Steve. My son's townhome in Jacksonville has it that way. His furniture divides the living area from the dining area and in order to have the small table lamp between the sofa and love seat without having cords strung across the floor, the outlet is in the floor. Their floors are hardwood and they simply position the sofa just over the plug. Works great.
