Is leatherette good for a family with kids?

Yes. Leatherette wipes clean with a damp cloth, so spills and crumbs come off far easier than on fabric. It can feel warm in summer, so a throw helps.

How many people does it actually seat?

It is listed as a six-seater across the long run and the L return. In practice that means three to four adults lounging plus kids, or six sitting upright.

Will it fit through a standard doorway?

A 103-inch sectional usually ships in sections, so check the box dimensions and your door and stair widths before ordering. Measure the corner turn too.

Does it need assembly?

Sectional sofas like this typically arrive in pieces with the legs to attach. Expect to connect the sections and screw in the birch legs; no tools beyond that are usually needed.

How does it compare with a fabric sectional?

Leatherette is easier to clean and resists stains, while fabric breathes better and feels softer. Choose this if maintenance matters more than a plush feel.

Leatherette sectionals in this class tend to sit firm and uniform rather than sink-in soft. Try it in person if you want a deep, cushioned lounge feel.
