Had the sofa, a great big leather thing for years. Been great, easy to clean and with three kids that is important.
Thing is the big lunk of an 18 year old has a habit of just jumping onto it and eventually something went.
Had it upside down and a big lump of cheap tulipe wood had broken off. Missus wants to buy a new one but I'm not up for that until I get off of the bench so I've done a bit of a Heath Robinson and screwed huge lumps of oak across the thing to sort of fix it.
Bit uncomfortable now and I've admitted that we do need to replace it.
However, I'm leaving it until big lunk takes another flying leap onto it and breaks his coccyx on the kick-ass bits of oak I've installed. That'll teach him for breaking it in the first place, having a hissy fit on the kitchen cupboards, breaking the very expensive wireworks, the several expensive portmeirion plates he's broken and for constantly leaving the bleeding freezer door ajar that means I have to de-ice the fecker again.
I did have a couple of 2" nails poking up as well but the wife made me take them out.
