My new couch came and I did like Sister Helen said and asked them to bring it in. They did. I told them they could take my old couch to give away if they wanted to. They did and loaded it up. Well, the legs went on find on the left side of the couch, but the right screws were too large for the insert they were to be screwed into. The delivery guys said I should ask for a new one. They’d have to send someone to pick up this one. There was a phone number so I called. Yes,I could have another one sent. I’d keep this one and they’d send someone else to get it. I gave my old couch away.
Larry went to a screw place when he needed screws. That’s all they sell. I took the one that did not fit and the guy measured it and sold me 4 screws the next size down. I tipped the couch over and put in 3 of the smaller screws I purchased. The one slot had the insert pushed completely out. The delivery man likely did this trying to put the too large screws the sent into the slot. So one leg is held with only one screw but I think it’ll be ok. Astrid can probably put a new insert in for me.
So then I had to call Sams back and tell them I just wanted to keep the defective couch. I may ge a little discount, but either way it’s okay. I really like the couch. It’s lots smaller and I can scoot it out easily to sweep under it. It pretty comfortable too.
Here is the silver screw I bought and the larger screw that would not fit in the smaller device for my couch legs. Seems like since Larry passed everything I do gets messed up. I don’t even know the correct word to use when talking about a problem. Hope tomorrow is cooler and calmer.
