IMO there is no such thing since arm rests = comfort you get 2 people comfy all the rest are just like sitting on the dreaded center seat on a sofa . A sofa and 2 choirs are IMO the best choice after all chairs but usually those are not pratical. I agree we have no info so can't even begin to help with choice. BTW my comfort can be a way different than someone elses .

Okay, Goldilocks : )

"This chair is too big!" she exclaimed.

So she sat in the second chair.

"This chair is too big, too!" she whined.

So she tried the last and smallest chair.

"Ahhh, this chair is just right," she sighed. But just as she settled down into the chair to rest, it broke into pieces!

Where is it going, what are the room dimensions.....where will you place it etc.............................??

Draw the space, show all the openings, windows fireplace if there is one. Measure everything.Take pics of the space as well. Upload those too.

There only about nine billion sizes, in this category of seating and how do any of us know anything about what fits in your space or does not..........

We don't .

I saw on Southern hospitality blog a distressing technique that I may try. I posted it (as well as many others on pinterest.) http://pinterest.com/pin/253538653991844736/ The cushion it came with could probably be reused, but I just want something comfier. I want this to be a cozy place to read and hangout. The cane has one small tear, and there is one spot that the frame needs some wood glue and a nail or two. Thanks bestyears for the recommendation on one piece of foam, that was one of my questions! Hoping to find a good deal on the foam part, as I have a seamstress that could make the cover. I found this site for foam, anyone know anything about them? http://www.newreplacementfoamsofacouchcushions.com/p17-Standard-New-Replacement-Foam-for-Sofa-and-Couch-Cushion.html I posted a pic of the room it will be in (they don't need to match the window treatments, because I want to replace those too) Here is a link that might be useful: sunroom

Try Crate and Barrel and I believe they are having a sale. In the sectional category, select u-shape. https://www.crateandbarrel.ca/furniture/u-shaped-sectionals/1 Reviews can be found on this site.

My advice is to go out and try as many modular sofas as you can. You should know before you go what size you will need. You can use boxes as a mock up or tape on the floor. Personally I would not get something too expensive as it will probably be well used and you'll want to replace it when the kids are older.

What do you think of this one? It is a new model with World Market. Can be ordered in any configuration of course.

It appears somehow crowded - course you can move the ottoman to the side. What does the room look like?

Hi again, thank you all for your messages! Yes I didn't get a chance to upload any images or dimensions, but have now. Please see photo attached of the layout of the tv room. living room and dining area. The L- shape I need should be about 125 inches x 105 inches. Everyone's suggestions have been so good. If any of you come across a glossy black buffet cabinet, that would be great! Much appreciated.

I am trying to stick to neutrals, so the L shape sofa in a beige/cappuccino, the semi-circle in a light gray the 3 swivels in black or beige(?), bar stools in ??? Phew!

Thanks for adding that! So I'm curious why you are not specifically interested in the Maddox modular sectional? Are you looking for it to be different in some way, or less expensive?

Hi Cecilia, not so much the expense as I have read on numerous websites that RH items are not worth their price...so just exploring my options. But need something similar. Lastly and most importantly, I live in West Africa and once I ship my furniture there is no going back. Thank you

These sofa pits as they were known in the 80s were deemed horrid then...why did they come back? My son has two, both very expensive. I wouldn't give you a nickel for either. Traditional seating gives one sooo many more options for arranging.
