Got this 6 band set in Oct. 2007 Just $200 bucks! It took me 2 trips in my van to get it all home. The dealer told us that he bought it from the estate of a former military couple who were posted in Japan after WWII.
They had it manufactured there and when they came back stateside, brought it back with them. Still has the original cushions with interior springs. It had been recovered with this awful stuff.

We figured that since it was so reasonably priced, after we bought it we could spend a bit more and get it recovered. So we found a good fabric sale and bought 18 yards of a brown chenille. We got help from My Mom to measure correctly and my Mother in Law did all the recovering. 13 cushions, 3 different sizes and all with 36" zippers.
We are SO pleased with it now! :D


I once was lost............but now I'm found
