Less-Deep Sofas and Loveseats (shorter front to back)

We can make any of our furniture (sofas, loveseats, and chairs) less deep than normal. But many customers tell us that our standard sofas and chairs, even when not specially made less deep, are substantially less deep than most sofas in stores these days.

With our standard frame depth, the distance from the front of the seat to the front of the back cushions is 20" - 21". And the total depth of the frame is 33". The back cushions are 8" thick, but there is only (covered) plywood behind them, so the back support provided is firmer than on many sofas and chairs.

narrow less-deep sofa

 

 

The sofa shown here is 30" deep. This is a 3"-less-deep version of our standard Florida model. (Please excuse the setting, which is in our Fredericksburg, Virginia workshop). The man shown sitting on it is 6'1" tall, and (like most people of tall or average height) his legs are not supported fully with this dimension. For many or most people, this would significantly detract from the comfort of the sofa or chair during extended sitting. But, especially for shorter-term sitting, it certainly is not uncomfortable. And very short-legged people are likely to find this shallower seat depth more comfortable than that on normal sofas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the 3"-less-deep option, add 20% to the base price of the sofa, loveseat, chair or sectional. (It uses the same materials as our standard-dimension models but requires special, time-consuming labor to make everything smaller).

We can also make the frames lower in our exposed-wood sofa models, for $90 for the first frame and $25 for each additional frame in the same design. We also make any of our couches and loveseats in shorter lengths than can typically be found in stores; for more on this, click here.

 

 

small sectional sofa

 

 

The sectional shown here is in our standard seat depth (33" frame depth), which most people will like better than the less-deep option. The adults shown here are, left to right, 5'3", 5'9" and 5'6". Our customer wrote, when sending us this holiday picture a month or so after delivery, "Everyone found it really comfortable, all our guests really like it.  No problem for my mother, at 87, getting up."
