The wonderful world of sectionals

Sectionals can be made so many ways now it can be very confusing here are some tips

If the items is a LAF or RAF,
 this means when you are "facing" the sofa peice, that is the side the arm is on, ex. LAF = Left arm facing, RAF = Right arm facing

Some company's will do it the other way they will write LAS or RAS,
this means when you are "sitting" on the sofa peice, that is the side the arm is on. Ex. LAS = Left arm sitting, RAS = Right arm sitting

Wedge vs corner.
A wedge will usually be more like a triangle or visualize a cheese wedge and that is what you get



A corner pice will be more square



From the image you can see you still have the extra seat but with a wedge you have the leg room

101 on ordering beds

OK, for most beds ( and I mean the bed itself not the mattress) you will need a standard mattress and box spring.
Most beds are broken down into 3 components, headboard, foot board and rails ( they are always a pair not separate)

If it is a platform bed the rails will usually be part of the foot board frame and the headboard separate.

Remember to always check with us if you only want a headboard, not all companies will make their headboards compatible with standard bedframs

For platform beds a box spring is not required, only if it has rails and slats.

Always remember that mattress are much thicker than they used to be, 12" to 14".

Usually and a standard box springs will be 9" high ( a low profile box spring will be 5").
So when ordering a bed take into account how high the headboard is and how thick the mattress and box spring will be.
I have had members who now only can see 3"of the top of their headboard because they did not check height.

3 Tips for ordering online

These are 3 tips I tell members when they are in the centre for online ordering

1) always good to use the manufacturers website when purchasing sets ( such as beds, sectionals,etc) the website will not always group all components to make a full peice on our site. If you know what model #'s you need it makes things much easier and quicker as you can just search using the model #

2) Our website is not yet set up to accept transhipment orders,
ex. I order a bed in Winnipeg but want it shipped to Calgary. For these orders you will need to come into the centre to order, or ( for those out of town members) email Pat or myself to place the order for you

3) Orders will not process if the name on the credit card and billing address do not match exactly to the member name and address. I have had initials and full middle names screw everything up,lol. So make sure all is correct before hand to avoid the frustration.

This should help eleviate some issues and remember, our website is still in its infancy, not every product and manufacturer we carry is online so don't panick if you saw it is the showroom but can not find it online, just check with Pat or myself and we can help you out : )
