Wooden chair had to go

Philippines
January 3, 2020 7:25pm CST
This was a memorable departure of my aunts last year. My eldest brother who was their driver was took a lounge on this chair and then broke when he tried to get up. He promised to have it fix but mom was having none of it and decides to have it thrown away. I guess it's a blessing so that we can buy new a one soon.

@Letranknight2015 I can relate to that since some items had to thrown away after they could not longer work like a toaster or microwave.

Now you can buy a new one. I don´t buy a new furniture unless it is broken or could no longer be used.

Would it be easy to get a replacement? Sometimes I wish I could be good with carpentry, so that I could fix up things around the house. (We had to get rid of plenty of broken chairs in the past.)

Hello @YrNemo Looking back now, maybe Mom could have just move it over and have time to have it fix. But she was so busy at that time.
