What is a small loveseat called?
1 Answer

A small loveseat is also called a chair and a half. It is called a chair and a half because it is slightly bigger than a chair and smaller than a loveseat. It is wider and deeper than a standard armchair, but it’s not quite a loveseat, which is a two-seater. Loveseats pair well with oversize sofas or are ideal replacements for sofas.
