Trying to fix the batteries was a failure, replacing them was a success.
Some things will become more permanent, last for years or even decades. There will always be a few items that just get replaced, or the whole caboodle is junk.
But I want to talk about rounded edges.
I would never replace a cabinet with rounded edges, or a bed frame with curved corners.
Sharp square knife-edged furniture is only acceptable if it is out of range, beyond reach, otherwise, those scraped legs, grazed fingers and other minor blemishes or quasi-injuries will continue. Unnecessarily!
