my son and I rented a studio back in aug and did not have any furniture. We scoured the city to see what we could find in the way of something besides the floor to relax upon. After a couple of days we happened upon this couch ,it has only one cushion for the back and was pretty shabby but we needed it bad. We took it home and gave it a bath. The first time one of us sat on it ,we went down in it so far that we almost touched the floor,the springs were streched and some broke. Thats when we put a board across the bottom and wa-la we now have a couch
