One of the legs of my sofa broke. Thinking about repairing but not sure the best way to do that. I have a very limited amount of tools

I’m thinking of unscrewing the other legs, then resting the frame on something. What should I rest it on? I’m thinking of just getting some wood form Lowes or something like that. Is that totally stupid?

Is there a way to check the strength of the frame? Am I just delaying the inevitable?

Appreciate any advice you can offer!

      Yes, it’s repairable, but it’s fairly involved. A fair amount of the sofa needs to be “undone” to get the arm off. How much work that is depends on how the couch is constructed. Then it becomes a matter of matching the leather, which probably won’t be possible to make it invisible.
