Are you saying that westies are supposed to have plywood floors? I just
have my carpet laying on that kinda rubbery/vinyl crosshatched pattern
floor. The floor has the tracks built flush into it, with round head machine
screws holding the covers onto the track.
I'd love to get one of those captain chairs. Is there a bench seat that can
fit on those same tracks though?
