In my business I am constantly hearing from people who complain that their previous sofa only lasted last 3 - 5 years. Usually, the reason is that the seat cushions have worn out (and are not worth...

A note to anyone using White Glove delivery - UPS Freight has a new White Glove delivery service. I've used them 3 or 4 times so far without any problems. Pricewise they may not be the least...
In 30 years I have never seen a spring like that. Dwayne's solution is liable to cost some real money. A cheaper (and quicker) solution could be to just have the reupholsterer replace the missing...
