A straight sofa gives you about 25 inches of seat to lie across, so anyone stretching out ends up with knees bent over the front edge or feet on the arm. It is the reason a second cushion always ends up on the floor.

Turning a module out as a chaise gives 46.5 inches of depth at that end. Lying along the corner, the chaise depth and the seat depth add together, which is how a 97 inch sofa becomes somewhere one adult can lie full length without anything hanging off.

The L, from the front

The studio shot. Three seats in coral leathaire with the chaise turned out at the left, and the light falling in soft bands along the tufting the way it does on a coated cloth. A pocket in the same material hangs from the left arm.

Ninety-seven by fifty-one, in three boxes

Ninety-seven inches along the wall, 51 out into the room, 31.5 high, with the chaise at 46.5 by 29.5 and a seat 25.5 deep at 18 inches from the floor. The box list underneath shows two cartons with an armrest and a module each, and a third with the metal backrest module.

The chaise is not fixed

The combination panel shows it built left, built right, and pulled clear as a standalone seat. The caption lists what comes apart, which is the seat cushions, backrests, bottom frames, armrests and side pocket. That is everything except the upholstery.

Pillows built in two layers

Each back pillow has an inner cover holding the fill and an outer cover that unzips off it, so washing one does not involve loose filling. The bolsters are filled with sponge instead, which is why they keep a round shape rather than flattening under an elbow.

By 29.5 inches wide, fitted at either end of the run or used on its own as a seat.

Deep enough to sit back into, on a 5 inch cushion of high elastic sponge over the spring grid.

A leather look fabric, described by the maker as breathable, wear resistant, dirt resistant and fade resistant.

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

Seat cushions, backrests, bottom frames, armrests and the side pocket, according to the combination panel.

An outer cover unzips over an inner soft cover, so the filling stays contained during a wash.

The chaise corner is what turns an evening on the sofa into lying down rather than half sitting with your knees up.

Fifty-one inches of depth is a lot. Tape the footprint out on the floor and check the door swing before ordering.

A coated face gives you a minute to reach a spill instead of watching it go straight into a weave.

What we stand behind

• Every dimension and the 660 lb per seat figure are read from the manufacturer's own product size drawing.
• The store lists the colour as pink. The photographs show a coral or salmon leather look fabric, which is what is described here.
• The written description on this listing says blue suede fabric. The photographs and the materials panel show coral leathaire, so the description text is not used.
• Leathaire is a leather look fabric. No hide content, coating type or thickness is published, so none is claimed.
• Ships from our 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 really long enough to lie on?

For one adult, yes. The chaise is 46.5 inches deep and joins a seat that is 25.5 inches deep, so lying along the corner uses both. What it is not is a bed, and nothing in the record describes it as one.

Which side does the chaise go?

Either. The combination panel shows it built on the left, on the right and pulled away as a separate seat. The armrests, backrests, frames and pocket all detach, so it is a decision you make while assembling and can change later.

What colour is it?

The store says pink. The photographs show a coral or salmon with an orange cast, which reads warmer under lamplight and pinker in daylight. This page describes the photographs rather than the colour name in the listing.

Will it fit up the stairs?

It arrives in three boxes, and the modules unbolt again afterwards. Carton dimensions are not published, so measure your narrowest corner against a single module's 31 inch depth rather than against the finished 97 inches.
