Know before you buy
Yes, the couch is designed for functional use. The interior is lined with hand-sewn Italian leather, providing a firm but supportive seating surface that mimics the feel of high-end lounge furniture.
The 18-gauge steel frame is reinforced with welded undersides, allowing it to support a total weight capacity of up to 800 lbs. It is structurally sound for three to four adults.
The couch arrives as a finished piece. Because it is constructed from a solid steel coffin frame with fixed cast iron legs, no complex assembly is required.
To preserve the leather, wipe it down periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, and use a high-quality leather conditioner once or twice a year to keep the material supple.
Yes, each unit features a laser-engraved ID plaque. This serves as a mark of authenticity for this exclusive production run of only three pieces.
The cast iron legs are sturdy and heavy. Depending on your flooring type, we recommend using felt pads or a rug underneath the legs to prevent potential scratching or indentations on hardwood or delicate surfaces.
