Hi Flanders, welcome. I'm new around here and a new owner too. I know what you mean about the weight, I was expecting the weight but I think what surprised me was the " stiffness " of moving her about. Luckily I will echo what the rest of the forum has been saying in that it does get easier very quickly. Watch a few videos and spend an hour with her just posing her and moving her about and you'll learn pretty quickly.
Office chairs are an excellent shout, also a small coffee table covered in a soft sheet I also find very useful for just quickly laying back, repositioning, then back up. Careful of sharp edges, like I say cover the table.
I've found loads of useful stuff on here since becoming a owner, have a dig about on here and you'll be put right on a lot of things.
Enjoy,
