A lot of loveseats divide sixty inches into two seats, which puts two adults shoulder to shoulder whether they want to be or not. It works for a couple and not for anyone else.

This one is 76.5 inches wide, split into two seats of 34.5 inches. That is armchair width per person, so two people can sit without contact and the sofa still takes three at a push.

Low, long and plain

The studio shot. A straight back with two loose cushions, arms with piping traced along the top, and four tapered metal legs in a warm bronze finish. There is no tufting and no skirt, so the width reads as one clean line.

The three numbers it leads with

The maker circles three figures: 18 inch seat height, 21.5 inch seat depth and 34.5 inch seat width. Overall it 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.

What holds the seat up

The maker's construction pair, captioned lasting firmness. An elastic spring supporting system drawn as rows of steel, and high density sponge carrying the CertiPUR-US mark. The spring layer is the one that usually decides whether a seat still sits level in five years.

Where the fittings are

The installation panel. A full kit of screws and bracket legs on the left, and on the right the same kit taped to the underside of the sofa. Nothing arrives in a separate bag to be lost, which is a small thing until it is not.

Per person, across a 71.5 inch seat run. Armchair width rather than half a loveseat.

Marked on the maker's dimension drawing, described as an ergonomic slope for relaxing.

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, and enough clearance for cleaning underneath.

The backrest cushion covers zip off, shown in the maker's own well made details panel.

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

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

Thirty-four and a half inches each is armchair width, so nobody has to sit shoulder to shoulder.

Seventy-six and a half inches of sofa on only 31.5 inches of depth, which leaves the floor in front of it clear.

A published seat width, seat depth, seat height, back angle, foam certification and load rating is more than most listings give.

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.
• CertiPUR-US covers foam content and emissions, not durability, and is not presented as a wear rating.
• No fabric composition, foam density, carton size, net weight or assembly time is published.
• Ships from our Canadian or United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Is it 31.5 or 34.5 inches deep?

The maker's own dimension image marks 31.5 inches and the written record says 34.5. That is a three inch difference, so measure your space against the larger figure if the clearance in front matters.

Will three people fit?

The seat run is 71.5 inches, divided into two 34.5 inch seats. Three adults will fit at a squeeze, but the sofa is drawn and sold as a two seater and the published 500 lb maximum is for the sofa as a whole.

Where are the legs and screws?

Taped to the underside of the sofa. The maker photographs the full kit in place there, which means nothing arrives loose in the carton to go missing.

What does the 103 degree angle mean?

It is the lean of the backrest, marked on the maker's own drawing. A little over ninety degrees tips your weight back into the seat rather than forward onto the front edge, which is what makes long sitting comfortable.
