Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Derby Sectional pet-friendly?
The Derby features specially selected pet-friendly fabric that is engineered for durability and resistance to wear from pets. This fabric is designed to withstand scratches, resist staining, and maintain its appearance over time, making it an ideal choice for households with cats or dogs while still providing a soft, luxurious feel.
What is the difference between left and right chaise configuration?
The chaise configuration refers to which side the fixed lounge section is located when you face the sofa. In a left chaise configuration, the chaise extends to your left. In a right chaise configuration, it extends to your right. Choose based on your room layout, traffic flow, and placement of other furniture to create the most functional and comfortable arrangement.
What are the exact dimensions?
The Derby Sectional Sofa measures 117"W × 83" chaise depth × 36"D. The chaise depth of 83 inches provides ample space for stretching out, while the 36-inch overall depth offers comfortable seating. These generous dimensions make it ideal for medium to large living rooms where it can serve as a statement centerpiece.
What is the Derby made of?
The Derby features a solid wood base and legs that provide structural integrity, durability, and timeless aesthetic appeal. The frame is upholstered in soft, durable pet-friendly fabric, while the plush, oversized cushions are designed for premium comfort. This combination of quality materials ensures the Derby is built to last while maintaining its luxurious feel.
Is the chaise lounge removable or reversible?
No, the Derby features a fixed chaise lounge that is permanently attached to the sectional in either a left or right configuration. This fixed design ensures structural stability and consistent comfort. Be sure to select the correct chaise orientation (left or right) when ordering to match your room layout.
Is this sectional suitable for everyday use?
Yes, the Derby is designed for daily living and frequent use. The solid wood construction, durable pet-friendly fabric, and plush cushioning ensure it can withstand regular lounging, entertaining, and family time. The oversized cushions maintain their comfort and shape over time, making it ideal for relaxing, movie nights, and hosting guests.
How do I clean and maintain the pet-friendly fabric?
Regular vacuuming with an upholstery brush attachment is recommended to remove pet hair, dust, and debris. For spot cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth, blotting gently without rubbing. The pet-friendly fabric is designed to resist stains, but we recommend addressing spills promptly. Professional upholstery cleaning is recommended annually for best results.
How much space do I need for the Derby Sectional?
To comfortably accommodate the Derby's 117"W × 83" chaise depth footprint, allow additional clearance around the sectional for walking paths and side tables. This sectional is best suited for medium to large living rooms where it can act as a focal point. Plan for at least 2-3 feet of circulation space in front and around the sides to ensure the room feels open and functional.
What style of décor does the Derby complement?
The Derby's sleek contemporary silhouette and Artis Optical color work beautifully in modern, transitional, mid-century modern, and minimalist interiors. The solid wood base adds warmth that bridges contemporary and organic design styles. The neutral upholstery pairs effortlessly with various accent pieces, throw pillows, and decorative accessories.
