Student Buys Lumpy Old Couch, Decides To Cut It Open

Full Of Opportunities

It wasn’t like any other moral debate they’d ever been through. This was nothing like giving someone their wallet or lost bike back.

This could turn their whole lives upside down. It also has the potential to make all their dreams come true. Or, it could have the police knocking on their door in seconds. And to think that it all started over some stupid sofa.

Adult Life

After their graduation, Reese Werkhoven, Cally Guasti, and Lara Russo were entirely focused on moving on to the next chapter of their lives as full-fledged adults. Even though it wasn’t the most intricate of plans, sprucing up their New Paltz, New York apartment seemed like a great place to start.

Is there anything that makes a place feel more at home than a sofa?

Affordable And Classy

In their vision, the trio pictured an affordable yet classy place to start their search. Needless to say, the Salvation Army wasn’t exactly what they had in mind.

But their wallets and bank accounts limited their options. They took the measurements they needed and started their search through the sofa section for the perfect fit. It was then that the lumpy grey three-seater caught their attention.

A Disappointment

The roommates exchanged looks of desperation with hints of disappointment. The measurements were perfect, but it wasn’t at all what they had in mind.

But for the low price of $20, it was a steal. Maybe they could put a nice blanket over it? Having no idea of the secrets hidden within the frumpy couch, they sighed collectively and decided to purchase it.

Getting Comfortable 

Throughout the first month, the three wiggled around the strange cushioning. They shoved and shifted as they searched for a comfortable position to sit in.

It was probably stuffed with lumps of stuffing or pieces of upholstery. Reese finally had it. As she punched the sofa in her frustrated state, a popping noise sounded from it.
