[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 553423, member: 84"] MM that is a good idea. I need to go back to hobby lobby and buy a wooden & glass case for his flag too. They had them on sale half off. :) Janet.......if you're going to eventually end up replacing furniture, don't buy new. Even the expensive ones don't seem to hold up very well. I bought 2 and then gave up and bought 2nd hand. The 2nd hand one I paid 50 bucks for 10 yrs ago is still in the family room. The others are long gone. The fabric doesn't hold up well.....to be kind, and the dogs never got to sit on the new ones, so that wasn't it. mother in law's loveseats......are toast, they've been in the house about 2 yrs maybe a little more. She never sat on them unless she had company, which explains why they lasted for her. Once they started being sat on.....it went straight downhill. I did let Molly up on them once Fred passed.........but she really didn't use them as she wanted to be near me and I hang out in the kitchen on the computer. I've got to shampoo the old couch in the family room (after yard sale I can't even get to it right now). Then, I may just toss out mother in law's loveseats......or I may try shampooing them, let them wear out more and then toss them. easy child just bought a couch a year ago, paid a pretty penny, nice couch........already looks about 30 yrs old. I swear they just are not making them the way they used to, frame or fabric. So Now I opt for 2nd hand......I look for the old quality that actually holds up for 30 yrs or more. MM, thinking about that glass you need replaced.........if it were the frame, it would be an issue. But being the glass......it probably won't be, and probably won't be very expensive. I know the type of frame you're talking about and they're beautiful. That photo needs protected though, air is not good for it. [/QUOTE]
