97 in L Shaped 3 Seat Sectional in Grey Lint Fabric with a Fixing Knob, Socket and 2 USB Ports

The usual complaint about sectionals is not comfort, it is drift. Two modules pushed together will separate a little each time somebody sits down heavily, and after a week there is a visible gap with a remote control down it.

The maker photographs the fastener on this one: a hand tightened fixing knob that clamps the steel backrest into the armrest and the neighbouring backrest. It needs no tools, and once it is tightened the section is mechanically joined rather than just leaning on its neighbour.

Three seats and a turned out chaise

The studio shot. Three tufted seats in grey lint with the chaise section turned out at the left, and an orange bolster at each end. The pocket on the left arm is in the grey fabric, and every module sits on its own pair of raked black legs.

Measured, and what is in each box

Ninety-seven inches along the wall, 51 out into the room, 31.5 high, with the chaise at 46.5 by 29.5 and seats 25.5 deep at 18 inches from the floor. Underneath, the three boxes are listed: two carry an armrest and a module each, the third carries the metal backrest module.

The hardware, photographed

Four close ups of the parts that are usually described but never shown: the bare metal backrest, the storage box inside it, the three hole socket with two USB ports beside it, and the fixing knob that tightens by hand. This is the panel worth studying before you buy.

Two layers in every back pillow

The back pillows are made as an inner soft cover holding the fill with an outer cover zipped over it. The outer comes off on its own, so a wash does not mean handling loose filling. The bolsters are sponge filled and hold a firmer round shape.

A hand tightened screw clamping the steel backrest into the armrest and the backrest beside it. No tools needed.

By 29.5 inches wide, and it can be built at either end of the run.

A three hole socket with two USB ports beside it, mounted in the steel backrest.

Inside the steel backrest, reached by lifting the seat cushion out.

Printed over each seat on the size drawing, which is 1980 lb across the sectional. A static rating.

An outer cover unzips over an inner soft cover, so the fill stays contained while the outer is washed.

If your last one drifted apart, the hardware panel on this listing is the thing to look at rather than the room photographs.

Ninety-seven by 51 inches fills a corner properly, but tape the 51 inches out from the wall before ordering and try walking past it.

Grey with two orange bolsters keeps the colour decision to a pair of cushions you can take off later.

What we stand behind

• Every dimension and the 660 lb per seat figure are read from the manufacturer's own product size drawing.
• The written description on this listing repeatedly says blue suede fabric. The photographs and the maker's materials panel both show grey lint fabric, so the photographs are described.
• The socket is an outlet built into the sofa, not a power source. No electrical rating, voltage or USB output is published, so none is quoted.
• The record carries a note that products with electrical plugs are designed for the US market. Check the plug and rating before use.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Is it blue or grey?

Grey. The written description on this listing says blue suede several times, but every photograph shows a grey short pile lint fabric with two burnt orange bolsters, and the maker's own materials panel names lint fabric. The description text appears to have been copied from another colourway.

What does the fixing knob actually do?

It is a hand screw that pulls the steel backrest tight into the armrest and the backrest next to it. The point is that the section is held mechanically rather than by weight, which is what stops modular sofas opening up a gap under use.

Can the chaise go on the other side?

Yes. The seat cushions, backrests, bottom frames, armrests and side pocket all detach, so the chaise is fitted at whichever end suits the room and can be moved later.

How do I reach the storage box?

Take the seat cushion out first, then lift the back cushion clear. The box sits inside the steel backrest frame, which is why nothing shows when the sofa is made up.
