Good Questions: Where Can I Find a Cheaper Version of this Piece?

8.21seat.jpg Hello AT,

Does anyone know where I can find a more affordable version of something like this very cool hybrid table/love seat? I have a small bungalow and am always looking for multipurpose pieces...

Maybe I could finally ditch one of my futons for a couch that converts into a table instead of one that converts into a bed?

Thanks! ML

Anyone?

This should be possible as a DIY piece. Could be made with wedges cushions as in the original, or with the wood pieces in a wedge shape and two flat cushions on them.

Finding a sturdy hinge is the most difficult part, although having a hollow space in the top/back can give a lot of space for the hinge.

bud smith, a lot of people living in small apartments are on a budget. this site is dedicated to helping people in small apartments. therefore, cheap is often the order of the day.

I haven't seen this piece -- and is different in design but has a similar multi-purpose use -- but have admired it for a while as a reasonably priced multi-purpose piece. Look here: http://www.vessel.com/prod_furn.html
