Well, their ability to fit inside any sized room is certainly one of their biggest selling points, as is that fact you can go from a 2-seater to a corner sofa fairly quickly should you want to add an extra bit of sofa (is that how you’d say it?) to what you’ve got. Their design encapsulates everything you’d want from a sofa that’s both functional and stylish for a space that’s either small or large.
