I am no reason for you to want to change a single thing. However... If I were to visit you and see you among the remains of your couch... I am having a very hard time resisting the urge to laugh. I am sorry, it would be no laughing matter, of course it wouldn't. It would be a very sad and solemn day, we would have to give it the set off it deserves. Before buying you a couch that holds your weight a little better.
