If you’re looking at buying a good sectional sofa with a reversible chaise and chrome legs—especially from a local store like ARV Furniture in Mississauga, Ontario—here are some key tips to help you pick wisely + a short list of example sofas you can compare in style and specs.

1. Room‐and-Fit/Layout
Measure your space carefully — length, width, doorways, staircases. Many guides say a sofa should take up roughly ~2/3 of the room length so it doesn’t dominate or overwhelm.

With a chaise (especially reversible), you’ll want to make sure the chaise end won’t block traffic flow or look awkward.

Reversible chaise means you can switch the chaise end from left to right (or vice-versa) depending on your room layout. That flexibility is a really big plus.

2. Configuration & Flexibility
Make sure that the model you pick actually allows the chaise to be swapped easily. Some “chaise” sectionals are fixed and the chaise end cannot be changed.

Consider how you use the space: lounging, watching TV, entertaining, how many people, kids/pets. The more versatile the piece, the better the investment.

3. Frame, Legs & Build Quality
The legs matter: chrome legs are a stylish modern touch—make sure they are sturdy, well-fixed, and can support the weight of a large sectional.

The frame beneath the upholstery should be solid (e.g., hardwood or metal) so you don’t end up with sagging or creaking. Quality guides emphasise build.

For chrome metal legs: check finish (no rusting potential), compatibility with flooring (if you have wood floors, for example), and ensure they’re properly attached.

4. Cushion & Upholstery Materials
Seat depth, back height: With sectionals you’ll likely spend a lot of time lounging, so depth and comfort matter.
Room & Board

Upholstery fabric or leather (or faux leather) – durability vs style. Some fabrics resist wear/pets better than others.

For a modern look with chrome legs, you might lean toward sleek fabrics or leather that complements the metal.

If you have kids/pets: pick something that is stain-resistant or has easy clean features.

5. Style & Visual Impact
A sectional with chrome legs is visually bold. Think about whether it fits with your room’s design aesthetic (modern, mid-century, industrial).

Also consider the leg height: raised legs (chrome ones) make the sofa look lighter and help visually open up the space.

Color & fabric texture: determine if you want a neutral piece you can decorate around, or a bold statement piece.

6. Practicalities & Delivery
Since you’re in Mississauga, Ontario – ask about delivery, door/hallway access, stairs, assemble. Make sure the showroom (ARV Furniture) can handle the logistics and you’ve measured door/hallway widths.

Returns/exchanges policy: Sectionals are big; making the wrong choice can be a hassle.

Delivery lead-time & warranty: Understand what’s covered, what is the build guarantee, how long upholstery is warranted.
