After having to replace two sofas, we decided it was time for something ferret-proof......a futon. I didn't want the simple, plain black wrought iron style, so we started searching for something else more along the line of a contemporary sofa-style futon. We were very fortunate to find JUST what we were looking for at Sam's Wholesale Club. It is a beautiful, heavy, solid oak futon with built-in magazine holders on each end. Also, the arms open to provide storage for your remotes. The mattress actually has springs in it, rather than your basic stuffed one that is so uncomfortable. And, if you don't like the cover, you can always purchase one to your liking. There are LOTS of places online that sell them. And get this........The futon with mattress was a little over $400. Not a bad price to have a sofa that doesn't smell like ferret poop! LOL The fuzzies are not the LEAST interested in it.........There's nowhere to hide! Also, we found out later online that if we purchased the frame alone at this particular company that it was almost $800! So, the deal at Sam's is truly a good one! Plus, it looks great in our living room! Rhea & the Fuzzy Crew of 8 [Posted in FML issue 3760]
