Is the Alder sofa good for everyday sitting?

It is built for lounging. The deep 26-inch seat and low 13-inch back are comfortable for reclining, but people who want firm, upright back support may find it lacking.

How many people does it seat?

The 93.5-inch width and 83-inch seat width fit three adults comfortably and four in a squeeze. It is a large piece, so measure your room and doorway first.

Does it need assembly?

No. It arrives fully assembled, so plan for a wide delivery path rather than tools and setup time.

How do I care for the velvet?

Vacuum with a soft brush attachment and blot spills promptly. Velvet crushes and holds marks, so keep it out of direct sun and away from heavy wear with pets.

Is taupe a good color choice?

Taupe hides light dust better than cream and warms up neutral rooms. It still shows dark marks and pet hair, so it is not as forgiving as a mid-grey or textured weave.

How does it compare with a standard three-seat sofa?

It is wider and deeper than most three-seaters, with a lower back and softer, lounge-style proportions. That makes it more of a room centerpiece than a compact everyday couch.
