Guide Review - Review of Lorelei Sofa from Simplicity Sofas
The Lorelei is one of the six collections of customizable sofas from Simplicity Sofas
which makes Ready to Assemble (RTA) upholstered furniture. I interviewed owner Jeff
Frank and was intrigued by the fact that it needed only 15" width to be moved, that it
Could be assembled easily within fifteen minutes, and that it was a quality product. Jeff
Suggested he would send a sample so that I could experience the entire process firsthand.

Assembling the Sofa
The sofa comes with a one page instruction sheet, but typically it won't be needed.

openings, and it would be easy to carry in its disassembled state as it wouldn't be as

The Sofa
The sofas from Simplicity Sofas are modular and come in three sizes:
An 80" full-size, with three 22" cushions
A 74" mid-size with two 30" cushions
A 68" apartment size with two 27" cushions.
The overall widths vary depending on the size of the arms which come in six different
styles. I opted to receive the mid-sized one. Lorelei is also one of their most popular
styles and one can see why.
Assembled, it's a modern design with slender arms and a low, cushioned back.
It has an oak frame and seems ideal for smaller spaces because of its design. Even
Though it is a little sofa, the seat is deep enough to get a taller person to sit in comfort,
While the seat height makes it comfortable for someone who is less tall. The seat
cushions are firm and 8" in height.
The sofa can be ordered in any of the Business's over 150 fabric choices, or covered in
the customer's own fabric.
