How big a room does this sectional need?

At 152.8 inches long, it needs a wall or corner of roughly 13 feet. Leave clearance for walking around the open end and for reclining or stretching out.

Can the L-shape be switched to the other side?

It is a fixed corner sofa, so the chaise end sits where the frame puts it. Check the layout against your room before ordering; it cannot be flipped after delivery.

Does it have a chaise or recliner?

No. It is a standard L-shaped corner sofa with seat cushions and armrests, without a chaise extension or reclining seats.

What is the frame made of?

The frame is wood. The camel-brown cover is fabric over foam cushions, which suits everyday family use but is not a premium upholstery grade.

Is it good for a family with kids?

The long run and firm seats handle several people at once. The light camel fabric shows stains, so consider a throw or covers if kids and pets use it daily.
