The couch in our apartment was kind of saggy. Turns out: the plastic hooks that hold the springs underneath in place don’t last forever 😳 #repairtimePermalink On twitter.com

You can buy replacement hooks but they’re screwed or stapled in place from the top, and covered by fabric which is also stapled in place 🙄Permalink On twitter.com

Luckily there’s ONE company that builds hooks that you can screw into the side of the frame. Took forever to find them and even longer to get them 🙈Permalink On twitter.com

So first off the hardest part: getting the remainder of the old hook out of the way. Sawing them off turned out to be the best solution with the tools at handOn twitter.com

Did some predrilling just to be safe and then got the hook screwed in a bit. The springs hold quite some tension, and getting the hook completely screwed in and hooking in the screw was a little too much. Instead, hooking in first and then screwing the hook all in worked greatPermalink On twitter.com

Repeat that a few times, and the first half is back together 💪Permalink On twitter.com

Second half of the couch is even worse, we’re even missing some springs 🤨🧐 (couch came with the place, somebody probably threw them out I guess?)Permalink On twitter.com

Anyway, I figured out a pattern that seemed ok, and by now it’s kind of a quick thing to do…Permalink On twitter.com

Finally all back together again, for about 20€ in parts. You could buy replacement springs as well, but I hope this is enough. #thereifixeditPermalink On twitter.com
