When we fixing up our old house, we were given a couch and 2 chairs by the Andersons. They were getting new ones and passed their old ones to us. The couches were at least 15 years old.
Summer 2009
The couch finally met it's match-4 Smith kids. It was time to send it to it's finally resting place at the Johnson County Dump. To get it out the basement door we were either going to have to take the door frame off, or cut the legs off the couch. The saw won the battle with the legs.
We ordered a new couch, love seat and ottoman from Homereserve.com
What's really neat about this company is the furniture comes unassembled in boxes! It can fit through any door and can be taken back apart when you need to move it. The fabric we choose was Cricket Berry which is very kid friendly. It's machine washable-every piece of fabric is-even the back of the couch-and there's storage under the cushions.
The boxes arrive-50 lbs each.
The frame pieces
The ottoman frame started
The cushions and fabric-you put the fabric on the cushions yourself
The kids watching tv while we work-you can see the cushions for the couch in the background. It was so neat to watch the cushions expand when you opened the bag. They vacuum the air out of the bag so they fit more compactly.
The finished product!
It's so nice to have the ottoman to put your feet on and to have more places for us to sit.

They look great! How fun!!! We got some new couches when we moved here and it is so nice to have a place for everybody to sit now. I've never heard of the assemble yourself couches before. Was it hard to do? I'll be it was neat so see how they are put together.
