Reply to Recommendations for a quality sofa that is durable and per friendly? by PsychicSeaCow

I'm not sure but old owners of the house left a leather couch. The daughter of them said they had it since before she was born (in early 90s). Not sure about it but the tag that said leather was left on. It's pretty torn up but also very very old. Look for a darker couch color. We have a light grey fabric loveseat next to the real couch but no dogs or cats allowed on that one. Sectionals/sofa doesn't really matter just based off of style. Don't go too bold like bright red but a maroon shade would be okay. Also don't buy a sleeper sofa specifically. Unless you know you'll use it, otherwise it'll sit unused and get funky inside. Take proper care of your couch and vacuum regularly. Don't get too heavy of a one if it's close to the floor make sure you can lift and move it slightly in order to clean. It's a far enough away from the floor it's not as much or a problem.

Cooper cookware can leech dangerous amounts into your food of cooper. I personally wouldn't use it and although I haven't done much research but I've heard of issues. My grandpa and some aunt's/uncles has Wilson's disease causing cooper buildup, my dad isn't a carrier meaning I'm safe. My dad does have primary hemochromatosis (high iron) and has to remove/donate blood every so often. So he's unable to use any iron pans. I might have high iron now but I never got a blood test before and had low iron a few years ago by symptoms only. While menstruating you lose blood meaning iron so that might be why I don't have high iron. Right now I'm only using carbon steel or cast iron pans. I use glass or enameled casserole for baking. I have some cake and muffins pans that's nonstick but I don't use them often and they're still in good condition.
