After a conventional sofa proved impossible to maneuver down the narrow basement stairs of a 1930s home, the reviewer chose Burrow’s Range modular sectional. Its separate pieces arrived in boxes and could be assembled in the basement, avoiding the delivery problem that had ruled out the first couch.
The four-piece model included two arm sections and an ottoman. Its cushions can be repositioned to create a twin-size sleeping surface, giving visiting family and children at sleepovers a place to sleep without the need for a traditional pull-out bed. The reviewer says the assembly took less than 30 minutes, using plastic knob screws and metal braces to connect the sections.
Four years later, the sectional has moved from the basement to the reviewer’s bedroom, where it now serves as a reading nook and occasional work-from-home spot. The reviewer describes the seats as medium-firm, with a little bounce, and says the deep seating also works for naps. At 28 inches high, the sofa sits lower than some may prefer; the review notes that people taller than six feet may find it too low.
The Stone Gray performance flatweave upholstery reportedly has no pilling, loose threads or snags after years of use in a home with children and a cat. The cushions have also retained their shape without regular fluffing, despite being used for jumping and video-game play. The reviewer says minor spills can be treated with dish soap and water, though the sofa has needed little cleaning beyond brushing away crumbs.
The review rates the sectional 4.5 out of 5 and lists its four-piece lounger configuration at $1,271 at the time of review, reduced from $2,119. Its main strengths, according to the reviewer, are the modular construction, adaptable layout, sleeping surface and cushions that have remained in good condition. The assessment is personal experience and does not establish how the sofa will perform in every home.
