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!

    Not an expert but I’ve dealt with a few sofas over the years. I think your best bet is trying to replace either the broken leg or all of the legs. Removing the legs and resting it on something can work but you risk it sliding around. Sofa construction tends to be straightforward, the frames are mostly just a big rectangle made from wood, if its not wiggling around you are probably fine.
