It probably won't happen anytime soon, but I would love to try.

We pretty much only use them to put our feet up. I have sat on them with the awareness that they might not hold too well so I just try not to wiggle around or anything and that has been fine. So basically... They're perfect for putting your feet up, but I wouldn't invite over guests and tell them to sit there... especially if they've had a glass of wine or something!

That kinda stopped me in my tracks until I seen this pin I'm going to Home Depot in the morning. Im also doing a headboard I'm defiantly using this foam. I LOVE DIY budget friendly projects.....

There is a hole on the top of the legs that you want to keep intact so that you can screw the legs on as directed in the IKEA instructions. They are also hallow inside, so it would be difficult to repair if you cut off the top end with the hole. Good luck!Genevieve Chamblisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817596489371697515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327169827925679825.post-51424854156371465552013-02-07T13:54:47.873-08:002013-02-07T13:54:47.873-08:00Hi!
