"The lamella on the sofa broke again."

When my wife and I saw the sofa, they immediately decided to take it, all the more inexpensively 10 thousand, however, there was no such amount, we had to borrow it, we took it for the children. The wife said that this is a sofa bookturns out to be an expert.

Problems

When installing, I noticed that the support was made of slats, we did not have such furniture before, but I did not think badly, I saw these slats everywhere on the Internet. They looked practical, ventilation, and all that.

But after the children broke the first slat, I realized that we got to the sofa. The support material was thin plywood, it became clear that breakdown of the rest is a matter of time, so I decided to make them for future use, cut out 7 pieces.

I had to tinker, but I was calm for the future, everything is in size, take it and change it.

Margin of safety

New supports made from thicker plywood, I even had to trim the edges to fit into the plastic inserts. The plastic was fastened to the frame with staples, the idea came to increase the strength.

For this, I made scraps from the old slats and used as props for homemade, now all thickness will "work" plywood, which means that strength will increase.

Today I replaced two more broken ones, there are three left in stock.

Conclusion

It is necessary either to immediately replace everything with more durable ones, or to abandon them altogether, and lay a sheet of plywood by adding two jumpers on the frame. Such is the experience that can be useful to you.
