Can the chaise go on either side?

Because the pieces are separate modules, the chaise can usually be placed at either end or in the middle, depending on how you join the sections. Check the module list for your configuration before ordering.

Will the sections stay together?

The modules connect to each other, but on carpet or with heavy use the seams can open slightly. Reconnecting the pieces and keeping them against a wall or rug edge helps.

Is it good for a small apartment?

Yes, if you plan the layout. The pieces come apart for narrow hallways and stairs, and you can use fewer modules in a small room and add them later.

How firm is the foam?

It is a soft, casual sit rather than a firm, structured one. People who want strong back support may find it too soft for long sitting.

Does the fabric hold up with pets?

The fabric is standard upholstery, not a performance weave. Claws and accidents can mark it, so a washable cover or a throw on the chaise helps.

What comes in the box?

You get the individual modules for the layout you choose, plus the connecting hardware. Assembly is mainly joining the pieces rather than building a frame.
