What is the difference between modular and standard sofas?
1 Answer
The difference between modular and standard sofas lies in their design. A standard sofa consists of a single piece, though it may have detachable cushions. A modular sofa is made up of separate components, such as a loveseat and a chaise on armless and single-arm chairs. As a result, a modular sofa offers the ability to create different configurations compared to a standard sofa. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of sofas.
