76.5 in Loveseat Sofa in Ivory with 34.5 in Seats, 103 Degree Backrest and CertiPUR-US Foam

An ivory sofa looks cool on one screen, warm on another and different again in a room with north light. It is the colour people most often find does not match what they expected when it arrives.

One of the listing images shows the same sofa on a desktop, a laptop and a phone, then under indoor sunshine, indoor light and studio light. It is an unusually honest way of saying that the tone shifts, and it lets you judge which version your room is closest to.

Plain shape, warm legs

The studio shot. A straight low back, arms with piping along the top and four tapered bronze legs. Nothing is tufted, so on a pale fabric the only lines are the piping and the seam between the two seats, which is what keeps it from looking busy.

Three figures it leads with

The maker circles 18 inch seat height, 21.5 inch seat depth and 34.5 inch seat width. Overall the sofa is 76.5 inches wide, 31.5 deep and 34.5 high, with a 71.5 inch seat run, 5.5 inch legs, 25 inch arms and a backrest set at 103 degrees.

The same sofa, six ways

The maker's own colour note, with the sofa shown on three screens and under three lighting conditions. Ivory reads cooler under studio light and warmer in daylight. Worth looking at before deciding whether it will sit next to a warm oak floor or a cool grey wall.

Springs under the foam

The construction pair, captioned lasting firmness. An elastic spring supporting system drawn as rows of steel, and high density sponge carrying the CertiPUR-US mark. Suspension is usually the layer that gives way first when a seat starts to dip.

Per person across a 71.5 inch seat run. That is armchair width rather than half a loveseat.

Marked on the maker's own drawing, a slope that tips weight back into the seat.

Printed as a maximum weight capacity on the maker's own panel. A static rating.

A foam certification covering content and emissions, over an elastic spring supporting system.

Solid metal with anti scratch foot pads, high enough to clean underneath.

The backrest cushion covers zip off, which matters more on ivory than on any other colour.

Named on the maker's detail panel alongside the cosy armrests and the zipped cushion.

The legs and accessories are fixed to the underside of the sofa rather than packed loose.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

Ivory lifts a dark room, and the piping gives it enough outline that it does not disappear against a pale wall.

Thirty-four and a half inches each, which is close to sitting in separate armchairs.

Zipped cushion covers, a published load rating and a stated back angle are worth more than a photograph on a pale sofa.

What we stand behind

• Every measurement, the 103 degree back angle and the 500 lb maximum come from the manufacturer's own panels.
• The maker's image gives a 31.5 in depth while the written record says 34.5 in. The image figure is used and the difference noted.
• One listing image is the maker's own note that colour differs between screens and lighting. It is reproduced here rather than explained away.
• CertiPUR-US covers foam content and emissions, not durability.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Will the ivory match my room?

The maker publishes its own warning that colour differs between screens and lighting, and photographs the sofa under six conditions to show it. Ivory reads cooler under studio light and warmer in daylight, so judge from the image closest to your own room rather than from the studio shot.

Is it 31.5 or 34.5 inches deep?

The maker's dimension image marks 31.5 inches and the written record says 34.5. That is a three inch difference, so measure your clearance against the larger number to be safe.

Can the covers be cleaned?

The backrest cushion covers are detachable and zippered, which the maker shows in its own detail panel. That matters most on a pale fabric. Check the care code on the label before washing anything.

Where are the fittings?

Taped to the underside of the sofa. The maker photographs the full installing kit in place, so nothing arrives loose in the carton.
