Literally the first video i found and i exclaimed "holy crap that's exactly what I need". Thank you.

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

It’s a common problem, I’m so glad it helped!

[@lauraswanson4806]

We received this in the mail today! The packaging was fine, no damage during shipping thank goodness! The construction was very simple kzbin.infoUgkxXH3jIpsn6vpr3D26KWAriUejh7CSxVp7 , the bottom rocking part and the ottoman were already put together for us which is nice!As for the actual quality, the wood seems fine.. Not too cheap but maybe not the quality you would find in a store for 400$. However, it is still sturdy and feels secure. I've only had it for one night, so of course no squeaking yet.. But if it does squeak it could be easily oiled. The cushions are comfy, and made of a suede like material. Obviously with time these cushions will probably wear and tear.. But for the price of the chair it is still worth it just to go out and buy new cushions that fit in the future.Overall I am very satisfied, I was a little worried after reading some reviews and looking through the photos, but I'm happy I bought it! Obviously it's not a heavy-duty chair, but with care I'm hoping it will last a while.

Ahhh. So nice to find the perfect spring repair video after scanning a bunch of amateur videos. Excellent explanation, video, audio, and done in four minutes. A thousand likes for you. Thank you!

[@Lew114]

Thanks. I had no idea this was something we could do ourselves. You’ve saved a sofa from the landfill!

[@barbaraforde9213]

This is the best video I have watched that explained in a simple manner how to repair the spring in my couch. Thank you much !

[@danielsechrist4410]

Massively helpful brief video! Got a new but broken easy chair for free, and was racking my brain for how I could attach this clip from behind. Thank you for making great content!

[@atvseatexchange2176]

Always a pleasure to see your smiling face no matter what's getting repaired.

[@WinWithKeshia]

Wow I watched a ton of videos and this is the one I actually needed 😂 I found a fairly new L shaped couch and I’m pretty excited about fixing it.

[@anthonybrancaleone9816]

Nice work. Simple and to the point. Thank you.

[@steveallen1635]

I had a sunken seat on my sofa, had know idea if/how to fix it! Watched this video and cut open bottom. The spring system was the same. The bracket hadn't broken, it had come away from the frame! I nailed it back on and it's as good as new. Thanks, your video was of great help.

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Wonderful! Thank you for letting me know it helped you!

[@junephillips8762]

Thank you so much! My husband is ready to send my favorite leather couch and love seat to the landfill. You may have saved their life

[@janiceclark3727]

That was so simple and easy to understand, thank you so much!

[@jbaillie4092]

Fantastic advice, thank you so much for making this video!!

[@timmytim9900]

I had the same issue. The difference was the spring hooks were still attached. 5 of the 6 were simple to reattach. Thank you for this video and saving me a serious headache.

[@googalsalot]

You made that look so easy, I'm gonna attempt this today. Thank you.

[@johnkeatley917]

That’s a great little instructional video. You’ve shown how easy it can be. Thanks. Unfortunately I have a recliner that is a little more hard to get to but the basis is the same.

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Recliners are just bolted together, if you want to fix it badly enough, you can.

[@c.wrightkunkle3681]

Thank you. I’m impressed at how few times you missed the nail with the hammer.

[@Nijkerk2009]

Excellent, thank you so very much! Need to renew all springs on my 1920s sofa.

[@gidgetc6315]

Yes! My wildling “sprung” not 1 but 2 springs in my couch! Thanks for the tip!

[@ValerieCudnik]

Thanks! I'd wondered about the clips, and you answered all of my questions.

[@yuhaohuang8268]

This seems so easy to do it yourself. I will try. Thank you for sharing🎉

[@mrpucklepops4447]

I have the same problem but I was trying to find a video that could attach a spring without pulling out all the foam/sponge, perfect thank you

Thank you! I was able to repair my sofa thanks to your video.

[@danraven2582]

Hey Amie, You can buy regular "repair clips" that are pretty good. A screw is better than a nail, too. (I do this for a living) Have a good one!

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Thanks!

[@magnathomps8311]

Yes it helps a lot. Very. Much simpler than I thought even if my spring does turn out to have broken.

[@taniapaul4177]

Thank you for this video I'm definitely going to hunt down a clip and fix my spring myself.

[@XenaTravelXena]

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

These clips come in different shapes, to suit different projects...best of luck with your project!

Nice video great to know you can mount that clip in a different position thank you from Phoenix 👍🏻

[@dianepitts1861]

Love this! Thank you! Does anyone know how to fix a squeaky spring in the bottom of a wingback??

[@KatSkeates]

Omg it's so simple! Like... I could actually do that thank you!

[@lindaowens65]

THANKS, all the clips are under the chair and I didn't realize you could just put the replacement clips on the outside! Now I need to find out how to take the clip off that's still attached to the jute and wire because my spring has snapped in half and I need to remove it.

[@Jasmin41]

Great video, had me chuckling a couple of times 🤣. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Really well presented and now I have the confidence to fix this myself. BTW it wasn't kids jumping on the sofa it was my big palooka buddy having too many wines. hahaha
