IKEA MORABO Sofa vs Delaney 3-Seat Modular Sofa

The MORABO is the safer pick for a traditional living room: a fixed 81-inch sofa with a solid wood frame, firm supportive cushions and a wide base of owner ratings. The Delaney is the better buy for anyone who wants deep, wide seats and a layout that adapts to the room, since its three modular pieces split apart and its seats are 34 inches wide. The Delaney scores higher with its smaller group of owners, but the MORABO has far more ratings behind its score. Build quality favors the Delaney's mortise-and-tenon solid wood frame; the MORABO uses a plywood frame and coated fabric on non-contact surfaces.

• Choose the MORABO if you want a straightforward fixed sofa with supportive cushions, a proven track record and no assembly puzzle.
• Choose the Delaney if you need modular flexibility, wider seats and a solid wood frame, and you can handle a multi-box assembly.
