My pal reupholstered a sofa he found in the dumpster

In fact, if I didn’t know that it was from a dumpster, I would have never guessed it, and my sibling got a brand current sofa and all he had to do was pay the cost for it to be reupholstered

Ever since I can remember, my father and sibling have been obsessed with dumpster diving… Over the years, they have found so many things inside these dumpsters; As a child, I got clothes, shoes, toys, and so much more, and at the time, I didn’t know where this stuff was coming from… It was literally Christmas every afternoon in my house, and as long as I got a current surprise, I was constantly blissful! Well, it has been well over 20 years since they have been dumpster diving and though my Mom is no longer doing it as much as me sporadically, he would join him especially if my sibling needed help with something. That happened last weekend when my sibling found a sofa on the side of the road, he called my Mom because he wanted this sofa so badly. It was a brown leather couch that was surprisingly in good condition. Aside from a few blemishes and some small cracks in the leather, the sofa was sturdy and perfectly fine, so, I understand why my sibling wanted it so badly. He planned on reupholstering the sofa and keeping it for himself, then luckily, he has a acquaintance who owns a reupholstering and weather repair supplier in town, so he was able to get the sofa over to his shop. Within a couple of days after the sofa was reupholstered, it looked like a brand current sofa. In fact, if I didn’t know that it was from a dumpster, I would have never guessed it, and my sibling got a brand current sofa and all he had to do was pay the cost for it to be reupholstered. I consider that a win for dumpster diving.
