Custom Sectional Dimensions: Why One-Size-Fits-All Doesn't Work
Why Standard Sectional Sizes Fail — And What to Do About It
Every living room is different. Every client has unique needs. So why do most furniture manufacturers offer sectionals in only 3-5 preset sizes?
At Hendricks Fine Furniture, we believe custom sectionals should actually be custom. That means any width, any depth, any arm height, any configuration — built to your exact specifications.
The Problem with Preset Sizes
Most legacy manufacturers — Lee Industries, Hickory Chair, Century Furniture, Sherrill — offer "custom" sectionals that are really just modular pieces in fixed dimensions. You choose from their catalog sizes and hope it fits your client's space.
That forces designers into compromises:
- A sectional that's 4 inches too long for the wall
- A seat depth that doesn't match the client's preference
- Arm heights that don't align with adjacent furniture
- Configurations that don't exist in the catalog
True Custom Means True Custom
At Hendricks, our 14+ sectional models are starting points, not limitations. We can modify:
- Overall width and depth — to the inch
- Seat depth — standard, deep, or extra-deep seating
- Arm height and width — proportioned to your design
- Back height — standard or custom
- Configuration — L-shape, U-shape, chaise, curved, any combination
- Leg style — wood, metal, skirted, or custom
