There was a part of the frame that had cracked which was causing the sagging. We pulled the part out... she went and got some lumber to replace it. We cut it to size... drilled out the holes for the dowels. It took a bit of frustration but finally my wife got the new piece back in with proper wood glue and a new L bracket screwed in.
So, $150 saved on that job. Of course, repairing the leather upholstery is another issue. My wife things if we can get the cover off the cushion she can sew in a new vinyl piece on the side. (You know "leather" couches aren't all leather didn't you?).
