Default Lightning has been dethroned

I hated to do it, but I've tossed Lightning's throne. I'm trying to get my house ready to put on the market, and that thing was such an eyesore and nosesore! Plus at 14 he doesn't need to be getting up and down off of it (I do have stairs for him). He still has his parade float (the ottoman), and I've ordered him a deluxe bed with a bolster, which I hope he loves (he better freaking love it). All that being said, I feel that by getting rid of his throne I am admitting he's old. In my head I know he is, but I still can't bring myself to say it. Boo hoo.
