The Cutting Table · a common question

Is that low floor sofa price for the whole sofa?

Also asked as:Why is this floor sofa so cheap?Is that price for the entire sofa?

The smallest number on a floor sofa listing is almost never a sofa. It is one backrest, or a swatch. Read the options before you order.

The quick answer

The lowest price on a floor sofa listing is for a single piece, such as one backrest or the fabric sample, not the whole sofa. To see what the complete set costs, choose the full sofa size and color variation. The modular listing shows a from-price per module; the complete-sofa listing shows one fixed price, and the sofa costs the same either way.

What the smallest number is buying

The smallest number on a floor sofa listing is almost never a sofa.

It is one piece: a single straight or L-shaped backrest, sold on its own for people adding to a sofa or replacing a part. Sometimes it is the fabric sample option, a piece of velvet or teddy to hold in your own light.

The full sofa and the sofa with ottoman are their own variations, and much higher. Choose the size and the color, and the real price appears.

Which are you pricing: a whole sofa, or one more piece for the sofa you have?

The modular floor sofa listing shows a from-price, because you build it module by module. The other listing sells the complete set at one fixed price. Modular layouts shows which pieces make a straight run, an L or a U.

A low number is a piece. A fixed number is a sofa. The sofa costs the same on both.

Reading the options menu before you pay

  1. Pick the size

    Until a size is chosen, the listing shows its lowest line.

  2. Then the color

    The number after both choices is the price of that version.

  3. Read the variation name

    It should say full sofa, or sofa with ottoman. If it says backrest, it is one backrest.

  4. Expect a message

    Order a lone backrest and the workshop writes to confirm it is what you meant.

The lowest price on a floor sofa listing is one backrest or a swatch; the complete sofa costs the same on either listing.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Why does one floor sofa listing look so much cheaper than the other?

    The workshop's answer

    The sofa costs the same in both. The modular listing shows a starting price because each module is picked in its options; the other sells the complete sofa at one fixed price.

  2. A common question

    The sofa shows a price that seems far too low for a couch. Is that the whole thing?

    The workshop's answer

    No. The lowest prices are single backrests, straight or L-shaped. The full sofa and the sofa with ottoman are their own variations and cost much more. If a lone backrest is ordered, the workshop messages to check it wasn't a mistake.

  3. A common question

    Is the low price for the sofa, or only a cover?

    The workshop's answer

    Often it is the fabric sample option, the cheapest line on the menu. Choose a size and a color and the real cushion or sofa price appears.

Questions buyers ask next

Can I buy a single backrest to replace a worn one?

Yes. Single backrests, straight or L-shaped, are sold as their own variations, which is why they sit at the bottom of the price range. The workshop will message to confirm a lone backrest is what you meant.

Is the sofa with ottoman a separate choice on the listing?

Yes. The full sofa and the sofa with ottoman are separate variations, each priced above the single pieces. Select one in the options and the listing shows that version's price before checkout.

Why does a sofa listing carry a fabric sample option at all?

Because color on a screen is a guess. The sample lets you hold the fabric in your room's own light before committing to a whole sofa, and its small price is often the first number the listing displays.
