A U-Shaped Sectional That Opens Up

The Aven U-shaped sectional sofa is made for the great room where the whole household ends up on the sofa at once. Two arm modules and a narrower armless middle module form a long three-seat row, buckled together with webbing straps over an anti-slip base. Two matching ottomans, cut to the same height as the seat, sit in front of the end seats as a pair of chaises, while the middle seat stays open so whoever sits there can get up without climbing over anyone. Push both ottomans to one side for a double chaise, keep one for an L and pull the other up as a spare seat, or move both away for a straight sofa with footrests. Every piece is 32D foam with no wood frame, covered in textured velvet stitched into rounded tufted sections.

Features

• Frameless Foam Construction with 32D foam and no wood frame in any of the five pieces, so the heaviest module stays under forty pounds and one person can rearrange the whole U
• Textured Velvet Upholstery with a pile that turns lighter and darker as the light moves, covering the three seats, both arms and both ottomans in one matching cover
• Seam-Tufted Cushions stitched into rounded sections on every seat, backrest and ottoman top, repeating across all five pieces so the U reads as one sofa
• 23.6-Inch Deep Seat set low to the floor with a backrest that leans away, roomy enough to sit cross-legged or sink back for a long film
• Strap-Connected Anti-Slip Base under the three seat modules, with webbing straps that buckle the row together and silicone grip pads that hold it in place, best on a rug
• Two Movable Velvet Ottomans cut to the same height as the seat, each free to work as a chaise, a footrest or an extra seat when guests come over
• Open-Center U-Shape with a chaise at each end and the middle seat left clear in front, so the person in the center can get up without climbing over anyone
• 300-Pound Capacity Per Seat for three adults side by side on the main row, with the rating applying to each seat rather than shared across the sofa
• Great Room Footprint at just over nine feet wide and under six feet deep, with seats and chaises enough for the whole household in a family room or open-plan space

Care Instructions

• Velvet looks lighter or darker depending on the viewing angle, and this shading is normal for velvet, not a defect
• Color may look slightly different from the photos depending on room lighting
• Sitting, pressing or brushing against the velvet shifts the pile and leaves shaded marks, which brush back out with a soft clothes brush stroked in one direction
• Allow up to 72 hours after unboxing for all five pieces to expand to full shape, patting the surfaces by hand to help them along
• Vacuum weekly with a soft brush attachment, working in the direction of the pile
• Spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild upholstery cleaner, testing a hidden area first
• Blot spills with a dry cloth right away instead of rubbing them into the pile
• Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to limit fading of the velvet
• Avoid abrasive sponges, bleach and ammonia-based cleaners
• Check the straps under the seat modules every few months and re-buckle them if the row has drifted apart
• The silicone grip pads under the seat modules hold best on a rug; on a bare hard floor, place the sofa on a rug if the seats start to shift
• Swap the two ottomans between left and right now and then so all five pieces wear evenly
• Lift the seat modules and ottomans instead of dragging them when moving
