📏 1. Measure and Plan Your Space: Measure your living room area carefully—height, length, and width. Ensure there’s at least 3 ft (90 cm) clearance around the sofa for easy movement
🔄 2. Configuration & Flexibility: ARV offers reversible sectionals and moveable ottomans or armless chairs, so your layout can adapt to your space or evolve over time For flexibility, go with chaise-style sectionals with interchangeable sides.🛠️ 3. Structure & Construction: Look for hardwood frames (e.g., air-dried hardwood with corner blocks), quality spring systems, and strong joinery. Avoid anything with particleboard or weak joint reinforcement.
🧼 4. Fabric & Upholstery: Choose durable, easy-to-clean fabrics—polyester is low-maintenance, linen is breathable but stain-prone unless protected
💺 5. Comfort & Cushion Quality: Test cushions in-store: they should feel supportive yet comfortable; look for 2 lb density foam wrapped in polyester fiber, paired with reliable springs If you prefer a softer feel, consider down-foam blends, but be aware they require more maintenance
🔄 6. Functionality & Features: Ottomans with storage or built-in chaise storage can hide blankets, games, etc. Look for included features like accent pillows, adjustable chairs, or customizable cushion firmness
🎨 7. Style, Color & Room Harmony: Light neutrals brighten up the room but show stains; dark or mid-tone neutrals (like grey) hit a balance . Ensure the sectional complements existing furniture, flooring, and wall colours.
🚪 8. Delivery & Fit : Confirm whether ARV’s delivery includes installation and whether the sectional can navigate your doorways and hallways. Measure all relevant paths to ensure smooth delivery.
đź’¬ 9. Customer Feedback: ARV has solid local reviews: customers praise the quality, service, delivery, and family-friendly pricing
