Free: IKEA Love Seat w pull out couch (Westboro) Gifted This old IKEA love seat is now known as the “dog couch” bc our old dog took it over 4 years ago and uses it daily. It’s pretty grungy, but it’s super comfortable. The original striped canvas-covered cushions underneath the stretchy cover are frayed and discoloured, but the covers come off and can be washed. If the couch does find a new home, it will need a new stretchy couch cover. The couch cover will be going in the garbage and the couch will be going to the curb on garbage day if no one expresses interest in it.
