[VAC] Extending the Twin bed/settee



Hi Everyone,

I have heard about folks altering the pull-out twin bed/lounge unit that is
located along the middle of certain layouts.This alteration extends the bed
size to a standard double bed width.I understand how the cushions need to be
altered,but carpentry is not exactly my forte!

 So my question is,how difficult is altering the pull-out to make this
work?Does it require JUST an alteration of the exisiting pull-out,or does it
require a TOTAL re-build of the entire wood frame?

 I am taking the old cushions in later today for new foam and
re-upholstery....so need to make a call on whether to have that particular
cushion set altered.

 Thank you in advance.
