Assembly Instructions
It is recommended to have two people for assembly. Please follow these steps carefully.
Step 1: Unpacking and Cushion Expansion
The backrests, cushions, and pillows are vacuum compressed for shipping. Gently pat them a few times after unpacking to accelerate fluffing and rebounding. It is recommended to let them sit for 72 hours to restore their fuller shape.
Step 2: Attaching Base Feet
For each modular unit (single sofa seats and ottomans), carefully turn it upside down. Attach the base feet to the designated corners using the provided screws and Allen wrench. Ensure they are securely fastened.

Step 3: Connecting Modular Units
Arrange the modular units in your desired configuration. Use the L-shaped irons and connectors to link the units together. Align the pre-drilled holes and secure with screws. Tighten all connectors to prevent shifting.
Operating Your Modular Sofa
The ModernMate sectional sofa features a flexible modular design, allowing for various configurations to suit your space and needs. The movable ottomans can function independently or be integrated into the sofa layout.
Configuration Options
You can rearrange the 4 single-seat sofas and 2 ottomans into L-shape, U-shape, symmetrical lounge layouts, and more. Simply detach the connectors, reposition the modules, and re-secure them.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your chenille sectional sofa.
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum regularly using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Fluffing Cushions: Periodically fluff and rotate cushions to maintain their shape and even out wear.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading.
- Professional Cleaning: Consider professional upholstery cleaning every 12-18 months for deep cleaning.

Troubleshooting
- Cushions appear flat: As mentioned in assembly, cushions are vacuum compressed. Allow up to 72 hours for full expansion. Gently patting them can help.
- Sofa feels unstable: Ensure all base feet are securely tightened and all modular unit connectors are firmly fastened.
- Slight color variation: Due to lighting or display differences, slight color variations may occur. The actual item's color is definitive.
