Back off a couch to make an upholstered bench ?

by Huntress

Answered

Have 2 vintage couches, one has a rip along the back. They have wood frames, not upholstered. They are 8 feet long. The one with the ripped back, I want to remove the back. I have a 10 foot table and the other will be against the wall then the table and finally the backless one showing into the room side. I know I will have to raise them but that I can do. Just wondering if anyone has removed a sofa back ?? Yes, I am obsessed. Redo on my whole house, with free, thrift store, serious discount, etc. Love it lol. Thanks
