It's time to gift the beloved blue couch to the next recipient!
My adult kiddo has flown the nest and now the blue leather couch that was gifted to her when she was a much younger kiddo and is now ready to be gifted to someone else.
I've wiped down the outside as well as under seat cushions, which are removable and were manufactured with a velcro strip to secure them. The cushions also have zippers on the back, so my guess is that they are removable and even able to be restuffed if need be -- they don't need that at this point, but I would maybe place a piece of plywood under the cushions just to give them a little added support. They're still very solid, not sagging, and still have lots of life in them. If younger ones are using the couch, you can probably forego the plywood.
The leather is in great shape overall. The leather on one of the armrests is worn with fine cracking on the surface (see pics).
The couch also has no legs and sits right on the floor, which is why it's particularly good for kids (or outdoors at a frat house?) Or maybe there is a leatherworker out there who would like to use this beautiful blue leather and transform the couch into another leather creation.
It will be a little sad to see it go. It's a lovely dark blue color and has been in the game room for just over 15 years now. Got a mild case of empty-nest syndrome for sure now that my only has moved out, so parting with the nostalgic items is particularly challenging.
Maybe you have a kiddo who would love this couch like mine did. Maybe you would also like the big huge stuffed bear and/or the bright orange curtain behind it. All are up for grabs.
Just a note that I have had surgery to my wrist and would not be able to assist with lifting and moving the couch. It may require 2 people and/or a dolly to move it.
