Does the drop-down center section count as a seat?

Yes. The center backrest folds down into a console with cupholders, so that spot becomes a table rather than a seat while it is down. Fold it back up to seat three people.

Do all three seats recline?

The power recline covers the seating positions, with the center backrest folding down as a console. Check the seat layout you order, since drop-down models vary in which positions are powered.

How much space does it need behind it to recline?

Power recliners still need clearance behind the backrest to lay flat. Leave several inches between the sofa back and the wall, and more if you recline fully.

Is the leather real or bonded?

The sofa is listed as leather with a wood frame and foam filling. Ask the seller whether it is top-grain, split or a leather match on the sides and back before you buy.

How do I keep the white or beige leather clean?

Wipe spills promptly with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner made for upholstery. Keep it out of direct sun, and avoid dark denim on light seats to limit dye transfer.
