for years I kept telling my DH that we needed new living room frunisture and he would put me of with "what we have is still find". Finilly after 26 years (true story) he relented but still insisted that it was just fine until I told him that I would donate it to goodwill.
His answer to me was they will not take the fabric is torn just trash it. aha! I though it was just fine I said. we trashed it.
