Oh gee, I was really looking forward to it as well. This is a really late date to delay it, but I agree that it’s better to get it right. It must have been in final proofs though, with publication only 2 months away? With a year delay, sounds like rewrite time, rather than just fine-tuning.

We purchased the Sven in August 2018. Within a couple of weeks, the fabric started pilling. We were told that this is normal for natural fibers and it would eventually stop. Two plus years later it has only continued to worsen. We shave it regularly with a fabric shaver but it just continues to pill. The cushions are sagging heavily. This started early on. Because of the tufting on the seat, we can't restuff. We are now shopping for a new couch because we are uncomfortable. Sadly, I don't recommend this couch. I have pictures but cannot see how to post them! Here are links that hopefully work. https://photos.app.goo.gl/zbd2K7M4pz7r6MaD6 https://photos.app.goo.gl/LWeSp9uirdnCtQfg9 https://photos.app.goo.gl/WfMBYxfE56J5p6PHA https://photos.app.goo.gl/3oL9UyBBJp8y7kL66 https://photos.app.goo.gl/TmbL6nXfwHHEo8DAA

Hey, Deb...sorry to hear your story of woe! But I know exactly how ya feel. I had a bunch of scrawny, gangly seedlings volunteer early this year from two plants I grew in too much shade last year. I almost tossed them since I knew the parents didn't produce much in that shady spot, plus I wasn't sure which original plant these seedlings came from. But I have NEVER learned how to throw plants away, so I stuck them in the ground in two different flower gardens and I figured they might just peter out on their own since the soil is crap here. Well, they both turned out to be the JD Special C-Tex that I got from a GW swapper when I asked for tomato seeds that would take the Florida heat. These maters are huge and "purple" and I am still astounded by the production I have been getting from them. I also started alot of other seeds from a Round Robin in February - all are either in pots or hydroponic solution - and JD's plants have either kept up with or surpassed those. Except that JD's were planted earlier and stopped producing last week after I picked the last ones, and I still have potted ones still ripening, like Super Sioux, Chyornii Tarasenko, Defiant, Creole, etc. Anyways, I just had to tell ya not to give up and if the community garden lets you grow in your buckets, I can send ya some JD Special seeds to start in the fall. Your friend, Susie PS I will try to post a picture that I took with my phone. I seem to always lose messages I type in Houzz with my phone, I get aggravated and never try again.

Are those cast iron grates? My Blue Star has cast iron grates and the grates have the whitish marks from sliding pots around.
