A little side note on that old sofa ... It holds a lot of memories for me. Whenever I would visit my Aunts, they would feed us a monumentally huge meal and then set us up in the living room for nap time on that sofa that had been laid open for sleeping. The rough hewn wooden door would be latched for our privacy and the shutters pinned open for whatever breeze we could feel ... As well as a good view of the neighbor's donkey lest we forget where we were when we awoke. The sofa was hard as cement and barely wide enough for two as we clung to each other to stay atop. Its a wonder we ever slept at all!
Back to the present... I could never quite understand the sofa design either. You had to gingerly take a seat so that the front legs wouldn't slide forward and send you straight to nap time. It wasn't until when we were moving the sofa that I was told that Aunt Voula had added the legs at one point ... Converting a sofa with under storage into extra sleeping space. Bravo for ingenuity ... Not so much for execution...
Before ...
After...
