94.5 in L Shaped Sectional in Grey Linen with a 22 in Seat Depth and a Convertible Ottoman

Large sectionals have crept towards 25 and 26 inch seats because they photograph as luxurious. For anyone much under five foot eight the result is a seat you cannot sit back in without your feet leaving the floor, so you perch on the front edge instead.

This one keeps the seat at 22 inches deep and 17 inches from the floor, which is a sitting position rather than a lounging one. You get the back support the sofa was designed to give without a cushion wedged behind you to make up the difference.

Where the ottoman stops and the sofa starts

The studio shot. The ottoman at the left has its own legs and its own upholstered box, and it simply butts against the end of the run. That is the whole mechanism, which is why it can be moved without tools and without leaving empty bolt holes.

The figures, front and side

Ninety-four and a half wide, 63 deep with the ottoman out, 32.5 high. The seat is 57 inches across and 22 deep at 17 inches from the floor, on 5 inch cushions. Back cushions are 16 inches, arms 24, ottoman 28.5 wide. The panel prints 2640 lb.

Three arrangements in one panel

The maker shows the ottoman left, the ottoman right, and the ottoman detached and standing on its own, with the caption saying it moves left and right freely. Nothing has to be unbolted to change between them.

The other hand, and the caddy

The same sofa with the ottoman on the right instead, and an inset showing the arm caddy in use. The caddy is sewn into the outside of one arm and is deep enough for a magazine, which is a better place for a remote than the gap beside a cushion.

Shallower than most sectionals this size, which suits sitting upright with feet flat on the floor.

Twenty-eight and a half inches wide on its own legs. Moves left or right freely, or comes away entirely.

Printed on the dimension panel, which is 660 lb across each of the four seating positions. A static rating.

The seat and back cushion covers are described as detachable and washable.

A steel spring grid under high density sponge, with the cushions held by hook and loop fasteners.

A detachable fabric holder on one arm for magazines, glasses and remote controls.

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

If everyone in the house has been perching on the front of a deep sofa, 22 inches is the number that fixes it.

The ottoman goes left, right or nowhere at all, so the sofa follows the furniture rather than dictating it.

Removable washable covers matter more on a pale grey than on anything dark, because there is nowhere for a mark to hide.

What we stand behind

• Every dimension and the 2640 lb capacity are read from the manufacturer's own dimension panel.
• The record's Color field reads Dark Gray. The photographs show a mid to light grey, so it is described simply as grey.
• The shared family text describes a socket and USB ports. No charging hardware is photographed on this listing, so no rating or claim is made for it.
• No fabric composition percentage, foam density, carton dimensions, assembly time or net weight is published, so none is quoted.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Is it dark grey?

The record calls it dark grey. The photographs show a mid to light grey linen, the kind that reads warm in daylight and cooler under a bulb. If you are matching it to something already in the room, work from the photographs rather than the colour name.

How many boxes does it come in?

The record says two, three or four depending on the configuration, shipped separately and not always arriving together. Each box carries its own screw kit. Wait until all of them have arrived before starting, because the modules fasten to one another.

Can the covers really go in the machine?

The record describes the seat and back cushion covers as detachable and washable. Check the care label for temperature before the first wash, and dry them flat rather than hot, because a shrunk cover will not go back over 5 inches of foam.

Will 63 inches of depth fit my room?

That figure includes the ottoman standing out from the sofa. Without it the sofa is a straight three seater. Tape 63 inches out from the wall and walk past it before ordering, then decide whether the ottoman lives at the end or in front.
