Default Clever ways to use (AND HIDE)floor receptacle
We have a Gardenia, built in 2006. It has the two-plug floor receptacle that was commonly installed at that time.

DW and I just bought matching motor driven recliners, and the plugs are too big to fit into the recess. I'm thinking of putting one chair on each side with an end table and lamp directly over the receptacle. Obviously I'll need some sort of extension/power strip coming out of the receptacle to plug both chairs into, and either plug the lamp into the remaining floor socket, or also into the power strip.

If you faced a similar situation and have come up with a clever idea to use the receptacle and hide all of the ugly wires and plugs, I'd love to see how you did it.

TIA
