Do you spend nights worrying about stupid stuff? Yeah me too.
But furniture?
I never gave any thought to the height of furniture until that damn red couch came to sit in my living room.
My last couch was red. I loved it.
It was wide, and low, and full of comfy
Ah, but one day that beautiful new red sofa will be broken in and you won’t have to be afraid any more. Do you remember the TV show, Rhoda? Her mom covered the new furniture with plastic covers. You might consider that. ;D
The answer is simple. Just raise the floor. Since I always sit with my feet under me (I’ve always sat this way. That includes one foot under me while driving.) You could try taking the legs off the couch, thus lowering it, or just saw off the bottom half of the couch with a chain saw.
You could sell it to the Jolly Green Giant (of canned veggie fame) and tell him that the two of them together (couch and giant), would make great Christmas advertising.
Poor Wanda! A beautiful new couch, and she wants to kick it to the curb. Deserves it, though, if you can’t eat food on it, what good is it?
How awful! A sofa that doesn’t fit is terrible. Did you call the furniture store to learn why it was taller than the one you tried? Perhaps they can exchange it.
Anyway, I’m so glad you were able to make a funny story from the experience.
Do like my Italian aunts and wrap everything in the house, including your children if needs be, in plastic.
Oh, I can feel your pain and can tell you are perhaps vertically challenged? The feet on the floor test is one that I have to do and am so sorry this purchase backfired on you. This would be hysterical if I didn’t want to just give you a big hug and tell you got the shaft! Maybe those wooden legs will screw off and it will sit closer to the ground?! 😉
Ooh it sounds to me like you might have a haunting going on. Meaning your couch is haunted by a bully. Maybe if you hired one for the coffee table too the first one would vacate the premises. I mean, who wouldn’t run from a coffee table wielding bully defending his territory, or reclaiming it. haha Hope you get it sorted out soon.
You’re lucky its just the couch. My feet never touch the floor. I can’t even ride a Harley Fatboy.
