Lowell Sofa

A low three-seat sofa with track arms, two seat cushions and two back cushions, and a self-welt along every edge. The seat is 23″ deep and 19″ high, deep enough to sit back with your feet up.

How it’s made

A kiln-dried hardwood frame with sinuous springs across the seat, 2.0 lb density foam wrapped in fiber, and back cushions filled with fiber that you plump now and then. The seat feels firm for the first few weeks and settles after a month of use. The frame is guaranteed for 10 years.

What to measure

The Standard is 86″ wide, 36″ deep and 32″ high; the Apartment is 74″ and the Grand 98″, on the same seat. The diagonal depth is 30″ in every size, so with the legs off the sofa goes through a 30″ door. Measure your narrowest door, hallway and stair turn before you choose a size. It ships in 2 boxes; screwing on the legs takes about 10 minutes.

Materials and care
