I had a nice tax refund because I attended school the first part of last year so I bought a new couch and chair today. The ones that I have now are 17 years old and I have had throws on the couch for several years. The frames were still good and there were no tears but I couldn't get them to look really clean anymore. I am having the old furniture picked up Tues and I have to call the store Monday to arrange delivery. I had to make sure the new wouldn't be here before the old is gone because I don't have room for both. I'll have plenty of time to shampoo the carpet before the new furniture gets here.
