My wife bought a large ottoman (3'x3') from Overstock.com and it was
damaged in shipping. We emailed to see if they could send us a new one
but they don't have anymore. We really liked the ottoman and thought
that since it was just a small crack that wasn't very noticeable we
could deal with it. Well the crack has expanded and now it threatens
the integrity of the ottoman. I was wondering if I drilled a hole from
narrow edge of the wood on the bottom of the ottoman through the
cracked piece of wood and place a long screw through it would it
reinforce the wood or crack it further? Is there any way to salvage
this crack from expanding and falling apart or should I just send it
back?
