- What is a sofa and loveseat?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021A sofa and loveseat are two different pieces of seating furniture. The size is the most significant distinction between a loveseat and a sofa. Sofas are bigger and available in a variety of lengths, though the conventional three-cushion seat is one of the most popular. Loveseats, on the other hand, are significantly smaller and often only seat two persons. The second significant comparison between the two is the function of the seat. Sofas are bigger and hence more suited to lounging and socializing. You may sprawl out on a sofa or gather a group of friends to speak or watch a movie. Loveseats are more useful in small spaces where a larger sofa would be too large. Find a collection of antique and vintage loveseats as well as sofas today on 1stDibs.
- What is the sturdiest sofa?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The sturdiest sofa is largely a matter of personal opinion. Generally, the materials of the frame greatly impact the sturdiness of a sofa. Kiln-dried hardwoods are often more durable than softer woods and engineered wood materials. Pieces featuring dowel construction, corner blocks and metal-bracketed joints are usually stronger than ones assembled with staples, nails and glue. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of vintage and antique sofas.
- What is a wingback sofa?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A wingback sofa or chair has extensions from the back that wrap around the sides partially creating a sort of wing that branches out of the back. Often the wings extend down and then form the arms of the chair or sofa, but not always. Shop a collection of wingback furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is a bumper sofa?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024A bumper sofa is a sofa with a specific design. Usually part of a larger sectional sofa, it is a long chaise with an extended armrest. The design of the bumper sofa makes it possible for a single person to sit with their legs stretched out along the chaise or for multiple people to sit on the chaise with their feet on the floor, using the armrest as a backrest. Shop a large collection of sofas on 1stDibs.
- What is a modular sofa?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A modular sofa is an upholstered seating solution meant to accommodate two or more people.
