For you to take? Ikea Manstad sofa/bed, well-worn but basically sound

[mattdm.livejournal.com]

We are getting rid of an Ikea Manstad convertable sofa / couch because it has seen several years of abuse in a household with young children. It's a really clever design, but Ikea has retired it for some inscrutable Ikea reason.

The fabric is torn, and it really needs the cushioning replaced as well. We looked at having that done, and it'd probably be $500 or so. The basic hardware is still sound (a few dings here and there), and that's still cheaper than a new one. Or maybe you are crafty and can do it yourself.

In any case, it's yours if you want to take it. Otherwise, city is hauling it away with the trash on Monday.

Cameron Ave. not far from Holland. Let me know — either post here or send email.
