The TV in our ER lobby, along with its mounting hardware, was donated by the company that did the installations in all of our patient rooms. There was apparently discussion about replacing the row seats in the ED lobby but that would have taken money away from the new patient beds we bought.
The chairs in our rooms for the family members are the best available at a certain price point. When you have to buy in volume, you divide the total available dollars for the chairs by the number of rooms that must be outfitted, which tells you the maximum amount the individual chairs can cost. For us, it was 15 chairs at $125 each. They are hard plastic with wire frames, and yeah, they suck.
The TV is mounted so that the person lying in the bed can view it without straining, while not taking up floor space.
Believe me, I've sat through way to many meetings about the topic of ED furniture!
