A common question that I hear is about sectional sofas.  People often feel strongly one way or another about this piece of furniture.   The main concern with sectional sofas are the massive size.  For many young professionals a sectional simply doesn’t make sense.  That said, one of my good friends has a rather large sectional sofa in a mix 1 bedroom/studio apartment and it works out great.  He has the high ceilings, however, to make a sectional sofa seem like a good idea in that type of condo.  One of the other concerns with sectional sofas is the price.  Discount sectional sofas are always available, however, and I never recommend purchasing one at retail.  Modern sectional sofas, however, are often more difficult to find.  I recommend going with a microsuede to prevent your living room looking like you have four kids and another on the way.  Sectional sofas tend to give off that vibe anyway, so sticking with something sleek is important.
