Fixed the love seat with a furnace filter

The rod across the middle broke at the junction with a spring and all the elastic was broken so it would sink into the mechanism.  I happen to remember  we had a thick fiber furnace filter that came with the furnace 5 years ago, it is made of the same stuff as the stiffener used in furniture.  After I got it from the basement I realised it had rods in it that are exactly the right size for the broken cross rod under the seat.  We then went to the store and got elastic which I used to tie up the springs.  Now it is just like new.  It cost $1.94  plus tax and the unused furnace filter.  Can you Doug IT?
