Rove Lab M1 Sofa Sectional vs Lovesac Sactional

The M1 is the better pick for most people: it is a modular sectional that ships in small boxes, assembles without tools and can be split between rooms, and 6,177 ratings average 4.6 out of 5. The Lovesac Sactional is the more established modular system with a much wider choice of fabrics and configurations, but owners pay a lot for that flexibility and the pieces are heavy. The M1's main complaints are a low backrest, very firm foam and fabric that pulls and shows pet hair; the Sactional's are bulk, weight and a higher outlay for the same seat count.

• Choose the M1 Sofa Sectional if you want a modular sofa that arrives in small boxes, goes together without tools and can be rearranged or split between rooms.
• Choose the Lovesac Sactional if you want a long-established modular system with a wide fabric and configuration range and are prepared to handle heavy, bulky pieces.
