I didn’t get what the puzzle was about immediately. Finding COUCH was what finally stove me in the right direction. After that, I instantly found SOFA. RECLINER in the bottom right wasn’t a hard find either. At the top, there was STOOL, and that led me straight to uncovering SEATING as the Spangram for today’s Strands.
Next, in the leftmost column, I found DIVAN and on the opposite, ARMCHAIR. The last couple of grids gave me CHAISE, and this was the only word which would have had me. Glad that I found it in the end there.
