Oh, we'll do all the lifting. We just need his artistry, experience, and all that other stuff he can do on one foot. He'll be able to hop by then, right?

Travel will cost more than the furniture...

Tell you what. I'll build the furniture here... and send it via trebuchet with a gallon of glue, so you can reassemble the broken parts. The furniture will be there shortly. Brace yourselves!






( Loading trebuchet with ten cases of toothpicks and two gallons of glue.)

Y le T,

We had a furniture repair guy give us an estimate on fixing some furniture. I know it's not really your area... but close.

He said it would be around $300 to fix and repair some upholstery on our leather sofa that has those built in foot rests that pop-up from the little thingy on the side.

I don't think it was worth the money... so might be getting a new sofa. Can you tell me...

1. Do you think a sofa without the built in foot rests would last longer because they are less complex?

2. Does brand really matter as far as the best made? For example, Lazy-Boy seems so much more expensive that stuff you see a Sears. Granted, I'm sure a $200 sofa is not very well built... Any brands you would recommend.


OH.. what I am doing... trying to determine if a furniture purchase is in my future.

When can you come visit me and build a custom wall unit around our fireplace that can hold our TV.... speakers... DVDs/Video Games and of course some books?

BOb
Don't skimp on quality, go for the best because they're built for a lifetime of use.

Foot rest are a design flaw anyway. They always go first because they encourage putting your feet on them and they're not built like floors. Unless you wrap them with a carpet material cover, they never last. Go for leather, not too light, not too dark and you won't have problems with discoloration in creases and well used edges.

300$ is not expensive considering the time it takes to repair upholstery.
I don't know what kind of salary you're used too but figure a furniture restorer to make the same wages you do. The only way to get those prices lower is to go with asian products. That's why cabinet and furniture makers are a dying breed...

Ok. That explains the white glob of toothpicks I found on the back patio.

I think a recalculation of trajectory based on wind drift is needed.
