Know before you buy
The LC5 is primarily designed as a sophisticated seating piece that offers a secondary function for lounging or short naps. While it is comfortable, it is not a direct replacement for a standard mattress and is best suited for guest rooms or living areas where occasional rest is needed.
Cassina uses high-quality, durable leather that develops a beautiful patina over time. To maintain its appearance, it should be kept away from direct sunlight and treated periodically with a leather conditioner to prevent drying or cracking.
The polished chrome and steel frame can be kept clean by wiping it down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch the finish or cause the metal to lose its luster.
The LC5 is a substantial piece of furniture with a sturdy steel frame. Depending on the delivery service, it typically arrives fully assembled or requires minimal setup, but given its weight and dimensions, we recommend having assistance when positioning it in your space.
The daybed measures 79 inches in width and 26.5 inches in depth. We recommend measuring your intended area to ensure there is enough clearance around the piece to appreciate its profile and allow for easy movement in the room.
