Prices by Shape and Size By [Cal Hewitt](https://plushpick.com/about/), September 20, 2026 ![A four-seat L-shaped sectional in a deep terracotta woven fabric in a modestly furnished daylit living room, photographed from a low front three-quarter angle just above seat height across a round wooden coffee table in the near foreground](https://plushpick.com/blog/how-much-does-a-sectional-cost/featured.jpg) **Affiliate disclosure.** If you buy through a link on this page, PlushPick may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

[How this works](https://plushpick.com/disclosure/) A sectional cost anywhere from $499.99 to well past $7,500 on makers' and retailers' own listings in September 2026, and the shape and the seat count decide most of where yours will land. At the low end, Monvane's chenille L-shaped sectional was $499.99 on sale and its six-seat chenille U was $799.99. IKEA's KIVIK corner sectionals ran from $1,849 for four seats to $2,849 for six. West Elm's three-piece L-shaped sectionals started at about $2,480 on sale and reached $7,697 in larger sizes and dearer fabrics, and Good Housekeeping puts Restoration Hardware's Cloud at around $7,500 for smaller configurations and above $10,000 for larger ones. Then budget for getting it into the room. Published delivery charges that month ran from $19 at IKEA to $429 for Pottery Barn's white glove service at the far end of its schedule, and assembly, if you need someone to do it, starts at $52 through IKEA's TaskRabbit service. ### Key Takeaways #### Under $1,000 Compressed, boneless sectionals: Monvane's chenille L at $499.99 on sale and its six-seat chenille U at $799.99, September 2026. #### About $1,800 to $2,900 IKEA KIVIK corner and chaise sectionals with pocket-spring seats, $1,849 for four seats and $2,849 for six. #### About $2,500 to $7,700 West Elm and Pottery Barn L and chaise sectionals, where the size and the fabric you choose set the price. #### Above $7,500 Restoration Hardware's Cloud, reported by Good Housekeeping at around $7,500 and past $10,000 for larger setups. #### Add delivery and assembly $19 to $429 for delivery depending on the store, service and distance, and $52 and up for IKEA's assembly service. #### Price the next size too A fifth KIVIK seat added $50; the sixth added $950 more. ## Sectional prices by band, September 2026 The table groups named sectionals by the price read on their own listings. A range means the listing prices several sizes or fabrics, and the low end is the smallest or least expensive combination. Named sectionals by price band, prices as of September 2026 | Band | Sectional | Shape and size | Price | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Under $1,000 | Monvane L-Shaped Sectional Couch, chenille | L, 103 x 65 x 30 in | $499.99 sale, $799.99 regular | | Under $1,000 | Monvane U-Shaped Sectional Couch, chenille | U, 6 seats, 140.95 in wide | $799.99 | | $1,000 to $2,500 | IKEA KIVIK Sectional, 4-seat corner | L, 4 seats, 101 1/8 in | $1,849 | | $1,000 to $2,500 | IKEA KIVIK Sectional, 5-seat corner | L, 5 seats, 116 7/8 x 101 1/8 in | $1,899 | | $1,000 to $2,500 | IKEA KIVIK corner sectional, 5-seat with chaise | Chaise corner, 5 seats, 136 5/8 in | $2,399 | | $1,000 to $2,500 | Burrow Nomad 5-Seat Corner Sectional | L, 5 seats | $2,063 to $2,235 sale, $3,439 regular | | $2,500 to $5,000 | IKEA KIVIK Sectional, 6-seat | L, 6 seats, 129 1/8 x 101 1/8 in | $2,849 | | $2,500 to $5,000 | West Elm Reagan 3-Piece L-Shaped Sectional | L, 107 x 107 in | $2,797.60 to $4,897 sale | | $2,500 to $5,000 | West Elm Marin 2-Piece Chaise Sectional | Chaise, seats 3, 114 in | $3,748 | | $2,500 to $5,000 | Pottery Barn Big Sur Roll Arm Slipcovered Chaise Sectional | Chaise, 115 to 157 in | $3,358 to $6,148 sale | | Over $5,000 | West Elm Harmony 3-Piece L-Shaped Sectional | L, 112 to 128 in | $3,997.60 to $7,697 sale | | Over $5,000 | Restoration Hardware Cloud | Modular | Around $7,500 to over $10,000, per Good Housekeeping | BandUnder $1,000 SectionalMonvane L-Shaped Sectional Couch, chenille Shape and sizeL, 103 x 65 x 30 in Price$499.99 sale, $799.99 regular BandUnder $1,000 SectionalMonvane U-Shaped Sectional Couch, chenille Shape and sizeU, 6 seats, 140.95 in wide Price$799.99 Band$1,000 to $2,500 SectionalIKEA KIVIK Sectional, 4-seat corner Shape and sizeL, 4 seats, 101 1/8 in Price$1,849 Band$1,000 to $2,500 SectionalIKEA KIVIK Sectional, 5-seat corner Shape and sizeL, 5 seats, 116 7/8 x 101 1/8 in Price$1,899 Band$1,000 to $2,500 SectionalIKEA KIVIK corner sectional, 5-seat with chaise Shape and sizeChaise corner, 5 seats, 136 5/8 in Price$2,399 Band$1,000 to $2,500 SectionalBurrow Nomad 5-Seat Corner Sectional Shape and sizeL, 5 seats Price$2,063 to $2,235 sale, $3,439 regular Band$2,500 to $5,000 SectionalIKEA KIVIK Sectional, 6-seat Shape and sizeL, 6 seats, 129 1/8 x 101 1/8 in Price$2,849 Band$2,500 to $5,000 SectionalWest Elm Reagan 3-Piece L-Shaped Sectional Shape and sizeL, 107 x 107 in Price$2,797.60 to $4,897 sale Band$2,500 to $5,000 SectionalWest Elm Marin 2-Piece Chaise Sectional Shape and sizeChaise, seats 3, 114 in Price$3,748 Band$2,500 to $5,000 SectionalPottery Barn Big Sur Roll Arm Slipcovered Chaise Sectional Shape and sizeChaise, 115 to 157 in Price$3,358 to $6,148 sale BandOver $5,000 SectionalWest Elm Harmony 3-Piece L-Shaped Sectional Shape and sizeL, 112 to 128 in Price$3,997.60 to $7,697 sale BandOver $5,000 SectionalRestoration Hardware Cloud Shape and sizeModular PriceAround $7,500 to over $10,000, per Good Housekeeping A few more figures fill in the top of the market. Dupe's report on deep sectionals lists the Albany Park Kova Pit at $1,825 to $4,992, the Crate & Barrel Lounge II at $3,698 to $4,098 and the Maiden Home Dune at $13,400 to $14,750, and it ties the higher prices to kiln-dried or FSC-certified hardwood frames, spring systems and more room to customize. If your budget sits under $1,000, the [sectionals under $1,000 compared on seat depth, seat height and foam](https://plushpick.com/guides/best-sectional-under-1000/) goes through the picks at that price in detail. ## What an L-shaped sectional costs The L has the widest spread of prices here, since every brand on this page sells one. The Monvane L-Shaped Sectional Couch in chenille sits at the bottom at $499.99 on sale, down from $799.99, for 103 inches wide, 65 deep and 30 high. The listing describes a boneless, glue-free build on high-density 30D foam, which Monvane states as 1.87 pounds per cubic foot, and it arrives in two packages with free shipping. IKEA's KIVIK is the next step and the easiest place to see seat count at work. The [four-seat corner](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/kivik-sectional-4-seat-corner-tallmyra-blue-s49499601/) in Tallmyra blue is $1,849, the [five-seat corner](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/kivik-sectional-5-seat-corner-tallmyra-blue-s19499612/) is $1,899, and the [six-seat](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/kivik-sectional-6-seat-tallmyra-blue-s69527702/) is $2,849. All three list pocket springs and high-resilience foam in the seat under a cotton-polyester chenille cover. West Elm's three-piece L-shaped sectionals start where IKEA stops. The [Andes](https://www.westelm.com/products/andes-l-shape-sectional-h1816/?pkey=cfurniture&sb=WE) ran $2,477.60 to $5,798 on sale in widths from 90 to 105 inches, with a 34-inch or 39-inch depth. The [Reagan](https://www.westelm.com/products/reagan-3-piece-l-shaped-sectional-h13490/?catalogId=71&sku=7245242), 107 by 107 inches, was $2,797.60 to $4,897 on sale against $3,497 to $5,797 regular, with 97 fabric choices. The [Harmony](https://www.westelm.com/products/harmony-l-shaped-sectional-h2507/?cm_src=AutoRel), 112 to 128 inches wide with 131 fabric choices, ran $3,997.60 to $7,697. ## What a U-shaped sectional or a large modular set costs A U puts seats on three sides, and at the low end it costs a few hundred dollars more than an L. The Monvane U-Shaped Sectional Couch in chenille seats six across 140.95 inches wide, 69.29 deep and 33.47 high for $799.99, set up without tools and shipped in three packages. Monvane also sells an 8-seat U-shaped couch built from eight modular units, with a 27.56-inch seat depth, 10-inch armrests, a 1,800-pound capacity and four packages, plus 10-seat and 12-seat versions made of ten and twelve units. Check the current price for the eight, ten or twelve-unit set on Monvane's own listing before you plan around it, and ask for the number of packages and the heaviest box, since the 12-seat set arrives in six. Beyond Monvane's sets, a U can be built from a modular system such as Lovesac's Sactionals, which is priced by the piece and covered below. ![A compact sofa-with-chaise sectional in a pale gray weave standing beneath a wide window in a small daylit apartment living room, its chaise on the far side, photographed from the near end of the room at standing height at a front three-quarter angle](https://plushpick.com/blog/how-much-does-a-sectional-cost/chaise-under-the-window.jpg) A sofa with a chaise is the smallest sectional shape, so it is the place to start pricing. ## What a sofa-with-chaise sectional costs A chaise sectional is a sofa with one long seat for your legs, and the chaise sectionals here include the smallest sectional on this page. The [IKEA KIVIK corner sectional, 5-seat with chaise](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/kivik-corner-sectional-5-seat-w-chaise-tallmyra-blue-s89499623/), is $2,399 for 136 5/8 inches wide with a chaise 64 1/8 inches deep. The [Burrow Nomad Sofa Sectional](https://burrow.com/products/nomad-sofa-sectional?sku=NSC-CH-1-LO-BZ) is 85 inches long with a 61-inch chaise, built on three layers of CertiPUR-US foam over a precision-milled wood frame with steel latches between pieces. Its regular price is $2,519, and Burrow's [sectionals listing](https://burrow.com/sectionals) showed it on sale at $1,511 to $1,637 in September 2026. At West Elm, the [Wyatt 2-Piece Chaise Sectional](https://www.westelm.com/products/wyatt-2-piece-chaise-sectional-f789/?pkey=cfurniture&sb=WE) ran $2,698 to $3,598 across 80 fabrics. The [Marin 2-Piece Chaise Sectional](https://www.westelm.com/products/4077233/), 114 by 64.5 by 32 inches and described as comfortably seating three, is $3,748, with high-gauge sinuous springs and foam and down-filled cushions. The [Harper 2-Piece Bumper Chaise Sectional](https://www.westelm.com/products/234176/) is $3,898 in its small size, 106 by 92 inches. Pottery Barn's [Big Sur Roll Arm Slipcovered Chaise Sectional](https://www.potterybarn.com/products/big-sur-roll-slipcovered-sofa-sectional-with-chaise/) ran $3,358 to $6,148 on sale across widths from 115 to 157 inches. ## How modular sectionals are priced by the piece A modular sectional is sold as parts, and the total is the parts added up, so the useful question is what one piece costs. If the shape is still undecided, [what makes a sofa modular](https://plushpick.com/blog/what-is-a-modular-sofa/) covers how the systems differ. Lovesac's [Sactionals](https://www.lovesac.com/sactionals) are built from Seats and Sides. Each Seat is 35 inches long, 29 wide and 18 high and comes as a seat frame, seat cushion and back pillow; each standard Side is 35 by 6 by 28.5 inches and works as an arm or a back. A four-seat arrangement is commonly shown as four Seats and five Sides, and a six or eight-seat layout adds the Seats plus the Sides needed to close the arms and backs. The Sactionals listing does not show a dollar figure per piece, so ask Lovesac for the price of one Seat and one Side in the cover you want, then multiply by your layout. There are more than 200 covers, and the cover choice is part of that quote. Burrow prices whole configurations instead. The Nomad 5-Seat Corner Sectional was $2,063 to $2,235 on sale against $3,439 regular, and the Nomad 6-Seat Corner Sectional was $2,339 to $2,534 on sale against $3,899 regular. On regular prices, the sixth seat adds $460. If you want to compare a sectional against a straight sofa on equal terms, [pricing a sofa per seat](https://plushpick.com/blog/how-much-does-a-sofa-cost/) shows how that works. ![A close front three-quarter view at seat height of two closed, upright reclining seats of a sectional with an upholstered console standing between them, its padded lid closed flat and level with the arms on either side](https://plushpick.com/blog/how-much-does-a-sectional-cost/the-console-seat.jpg) Power seats, consoles and pull-outs are priced as extras on top of the shape. ## Sleeper and reclining sectionals A bed or a motor adds parts, and the price follows. West Elm's Harris 2-Piece Sleeper Sectional with Bumper Chaise, 114 inches, ran $2,798.40 to $4,298 on sale in its [sectionals collection](https://www.westelm.com/shop/furniture/sectionals/?msockid=36cfc465fa336dfc0583d2ecfb6a6cc1). Burrow sells a Nomad Sleep Kit as an add-on to its modular system at $242 on sale, $345 regular, which is an accessory for the Nomad rather than a sleeper sectional on its own. For reclining, Lovesac makes a power Reclining Seat for Sactionals at the same 35 by 29 by 18 inches as a standard Seat, with a 79-pound mechanism and a 54-pound frame. Its price is not on the Sactionals listing. For any sleeper or recliner, ask the seller for the same model's price with and without the bed or the motor; that difference is the real cost of the feature, and it lets you decide whether a separate guest bed or recliner would cost less. ## What moves a sectional into the next price band Seat count is the first lever, and it does not move in even steps. At IKEA, going from the four-seat KIVIK corner at $1,849 to the five-seat at $1,899 costs $50, while the six-seat at $2,849 costs $950 more again. If I were budgeting for a large L, I would price the size below and the size above the one I thought I wanted, because the jump is not the same at every step. The cover is the second. Burrow's Nomad in fabric was $3,439 regular for the 5-seat corner and $3,899 for the 6-seat corner, while the Nomad Leather versions were $5,049 and $5,729 regular. That is $1,610 and $1,830 more for leather, though leather is sold as its own Nomad line, so check that the dimensions match before treating the gap as the price of the cover alone. At West Elm, where the Reagan offers 97 fabrics and the Harmony 131, the range on each listing covers both size and fabric, so ask for the price in the exact fabric and size you want. Construction is the third, and it is where the published detail changes most between bands. What each band publishes about the frame and seat, September 2026 | Band | Sectional | Frame and seat as listed | | --- | --- | --- | | Under $1,000 | Monvane L-Shaped Sectional Couch, chenille | Boneless, glue-free; 30D foam at 1.87 lb per cubic foot | | $1,000 to $2,500 | IKEA KIVIK 4-seat and 5-seat corner | Pocket springs, high-resilience foam, polyester fibers | | $1,000 to $2,500 | Burrow Nomad Sofa Sectional | Precision-milled wood frame, three-layer CertiPUR-US foam, steel latches | | $2,500 to $5,000 | IKEA KIVIK 6-seat | Pocket springs and foam; fiberboard and plywood components | | $2,500 to $5,000 | West Elm Reagan | Solid oak and engineered wood, kiln-dried; sinuous springs; fiber-wrapped high-resiliency foam | | $2,500 to $5,000 | West Elm Marin | High-gauge sinuous springs; foam and down-filled cushions | | Over $5,000 | Restoration Hardware Cloud | Kiln-dried hardwood frame, pocket springs, foam, down and feather cushions, per Good Housekeeping | BandUnder $1,000 SectionalMonvane L-Shaped Sectional Couch, chenille Frame and seat as listedBoneless, glue-free; 30D foam at 1.87 lb per cubic foot Band$1,000 to $2,500 SectionalIKEA KIVIK 4-seat and 5-seat corner Frame and seat as listedPocket springs, high-resilience foam, polyester fibers Band$1,000 to $2,500 SectionalBurrow Nomad Sofa Sectional Frame and seat as listedPrecision-milled wood frame, three-layer CertiPUR-US foam, steel latches Band$2,500 to $5,000 SectionalIKEA KIVIK 6-seat Frame and seat as listedPocket springs and foam; fiberboard and plywood components Band$2,500 to $5,000 SectionalWest Elm Reagan Frame and seat as listedSolid oak and engineered wood, kiln-dried; sinuous springs; fiber-wrapped high-resiliency foam Band$2,500 to $5,000 SectionalWest Elm Marin Frame and seat as listedHigh-gauge sinuous springs; foam and down-filled cushions BandOver $5,000 SectionalRestoration Hardware Cloud Frame and seat as listedKiln-dried hardwood frame, pocket springs, foam, down and feather cushions, per Good Housekeeping Several listings leave out part of this. The Monvane U names high-density foam but not the frame; the West Elm Harmony, Harper, Wyatt and Andes listings name fabrics and sizes but not the frame or the seat build; the Pottery Barn Big Sur shows a down-blend cushion option but not the frame or suspension. Before paying anything in the upper bands, ask the seller three things in writing: the frame material, the suspension (springs, webbing or foam alone) and the foam density in pounds per cubic foot. ![A sectional upholstered in a rich deep olive cotton velvet standing in a daylit living room with warm white walls and bare floorboards, photographed from the front at standing height a little off center](https://plushpick.com/blog/how-much-does-a-sectional-cost/special-order-velvet.jpg) A special-order fabric can add weeks to delivery, so ask for the date in writing. ## Special order and the wait for your fabric Choosing a fabric or size the store does not stock usually means waiting. West Elm publishes delivery windows of 1 to 4 weeks for in-stock furniture, 1 to 5 weeks for quick-ship upholstery and 8 to 10 weeks for special-order upholstery, and [Pottery Barn's shipping information](https://www.potterybarn.com/customer-service/shipping-information.html?cm_src=OLDLINK&searchredir=true&searchredirtype=br&term=shipping) gives the same 1 to 5 weeks for quick ship and 8 to 10 weeks for special order. Neither publishes a separate surcharge for special order on the listings read, so the price shows up in the fabric you choose. Ask whether the fabric you want is quick-ship, and if it is not, whether a quick-ship fabric at a lower price would do. ![The separate pieces of a sectional just carried in, each fully wrapped in plain gray quilted moving blankets and standing in a neat group on the floor of a daylit entry hall beside the open front door, their shapes readable through the blankets as a corner unit, a chaise and an armless seat](https://plushpick.com/blog/how-much-does-a-sectional-cost/wrapped-for-delivery.jpg) Each piece is a separate carry, so ask exactly what delivery and assembly include. ## Delivery, white glove and assembly charges These are the delivery and assembly charges each seller published in September 2026, and they sit on top of the listed price. Published delivery and assembly charges, September 2026 | Seller | Service | Charge | | --- | --- | --- | | IKEA | Standard delivery, qualifying orders under 300 lb | From $19 for IKEA Family members, $29 otherwise | | IKEA | Scheduled doorstep delivery | From $29 members, $39 otherwise | | IKEA | Scheduled in-home delivery | From $59 members, $69 otherwise | | IKEA | TaskRabbit assembly | From $52, set by the products | | Pottery Barn | White glove, 0 to 50 miles | $159 on orders up to $999, $279 over $999 | | Pottery Barn | White glove, 51 to 99 miles | $179 or $299 | | Pottery Barn | White glove, 100 to 199 miles | $209 or $379 | | Pottery Barn | White glove, 200 miles or more | $309 or $429 | | Monvane | Shipping, L-shaped chenille | Free; no assembly needed | | Lovesac | Shipping | Free; room of choice delivery offered | | Burrow | Shipping | Flat rate; assembly offered as an add-on | | West Elm | White glove | Offered, with assembly included | SellerIKEA ServiceStandard delivery, qualifying orders under 300 lb ChargeFrom $19 for IKEA Family members, $29 otherwise SellerIKEA ServiceScheduled doorstep delivery ChargeFrom $29 members, $39 otherwise SellerIKEA ServiceScheduled in-home delivery ChargeFrom $59 members, $69 otherwise SellerIKEA ServiceTaskRabbit assembly ChargeFrom $52, set by the products SellerPottery Barn ServiceWhite glove, 0 to 50 miles Charge$159 on orders up to $999, $279 over $999 SellerPottery Barn ServiceWhite glove, 51 to 99 miles Charge$179 or $299 SellerPottery Barn ServiceWhite glove, 100 to 199 miles Charge$209 or $379 SellerPottery Barn ServiceWhite glove, 200 miles or more Charge$309 or $429 SellerMonvane ServiceShipping, L-shaped chenille ChargeFree; no assembly needed SellerLovesac ServiceShipping ChargeFree; room of choice delivery offered SellerBurrow ServiceShipping ChargeFlat rate; assembly offered as an add-on SellerWest Elm ServiceWhite glove ChargeOffered, with assembly included IKEA's [delivery page](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/customer-service/services/delivery/) says pricing varies by ZIP code, so enter yours before you count on the starting figures, and its [assembly service](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/customer-service/knowledge/articles/6aada8f2-0f76-473f-95d9-b6a413aec984.html) sets the final rate from the products in the order. At Pottery Barn, the Big Sur's lowest price of $3,358 puts it in the over-$999 column in every zone. Lovesac, West Elm and Burrow leave the amount off their listings. For Lovesac's room of choice delivery, one owner on the [Lovesac forum](https://www.reddit.com/r/Lovesac/comments/1q89sw9/room_of_choice_delivery/) reported paying an extra $199, which brought the pieces into the chosen room but did not include assembly or taking the boxes away. For West Elm, a poster on [r/AskNYC](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskNYC/comments/uwaf5z/white_glove_sofa_delivery_how_much_do_i_tip/) reported $250 for white glove delivery of a sofa, carried upstairs and set up. For Burrow, the Nomad listing names flat-rate shipping and an assembly add-on without giving either amount. In all three cases, get the figure for your address before you order, and ask whether it covers assembly and packaging removal. The difference between the services matters on a sectional because of the number of boxes. Doorstep delivery leaves every carton at the door, which for a large sectional can mean several heavy boxes to carry in, while white glove and in-home delivery bring the pieces into the room. Measure the route before either one arrives; the steps for [measuring a sofa against a doorway and stairs](https://plushpick.com/blog/how-to-measure-a-sofa/) apply to each box as well as to the finished piece. ## Getting rid of the old sofa Taking the old sofa away is usually arranged apart from the new sectional. IKEA offers mattress removal for $30 with local-store delivery, but that service does not cover sofas and is not offered on online orders, and its TaskRabbit assembly does not include removal. None of the other five sellers here lists a haul-away price. If the old sofa has to leave the day the new one arrives, ask the store whether it will take it and at what price, and if not, [the ways to get rid of an old couch, with their fees](https://plushpick.com/blog/how-to-get-rid-of-an-old-couch/) cover selling, donating, city bulk pickup and paid haulers. ## Adding a seat or a corner later A modular or component sectional can grow, and the add-on price is worth knowing before you buy the first set. IKEA sells a [KIVIK corner section](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/kivik-corner-section-tallmyra-blue-s99499665/) separately for $950, 92 1/8 inches wide, 37 deep and 32 5/8 high, with the same pocket springs, high-resilience foam and Tallmyra chenille cover as the full sectionals. Lovesac says owners can add Seats at any time and that Seat Inserts can serve as ottomans, but the Sactionals listing does not show the price of a single Seat, Side or insert. Burrow and Monvane list complete configurations rather than single pieces. For any of the three, ask for the price of one added seat and one corner in your current cover, and ask whether that cover will still be sold in a few years, since a new piece in a discontinued fabric will not match. ## What a return can cost The return window tells you how long you have to decide whether the sectional works in the room. IKEA's KIVIK listing gives 365 days for a full refund. Monvane gives 30 days for eligible items, Burrow gives 30 days, and Lovesac advertises free shipping and returns without stating the period on the Sactionals listing. West Elm's [returns page](https://www.westelm.com/customer-service/return/.WebReturn) says return shipping may be the customer's cost, depending on the reason for the return. A sectional is several large boxes, so return freight can be a real figure. Before ordering, ask who pays to ship it back, whether a compressed sectional can be returned once opened, and whether there is a restocking fee. The warranties differ too: Monvane gives 2 years, extended to 3 when you register, and IKEA gives a 10-year limited warranty on KIVIK. ## Adding up the delivered total This is how the listed price becomes a total. Each figure uses the cheapest published delivery option and adds assembly where the sectional needs it. Delivered totals from published figures, September 2026 | Sectional | Listed price | Delivery | Assembly | Total before tax | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Monvane L-Shaped Sectional Couch, chenille | $499.99 sale | Free | Not needed | $499.99 | | IKEA KIVIK Sectional, 4-seat corner | $1,849 | From $19 standard | From $52 | From $1,920 | | IKEA KIVIK Sectional, 6-seat | $2,849 | From $19 standard | From $52 | From $2,920 | | Pottery Barn Big Sur Chaise Sectional, lowest-priced configuration | $3,358 sale | $279 white glove, 0 to 50 miles | Included where eligible | $3,637 | SectionalMonvane L-Shaped Sectional Couch, chenille Listed price$499.99 sale DeliveryFree AssemblyNot needed Total before tax$499.99 SectionalIKEA KIVIK Sectional, 4-seat corner Listed price$1,849 DeliveryFrom $19 standard AssemblyFrom $52 Total before taxFrom $1,920 SectionalIKEA KIVIK Sectional, 6-seat Listed price$2,849 DeliveryFrom $19 standard AssemblyFrom $52 Total before taxFrom $2,920 SectionalPottery Barn Big Sur Chaise Sectional, lowest-priced configuration Listed price$3,358 sale Delivery$279 white glove, 0 to 50 miles AssemblyIncluded where eligible Total before tax$3,637 The IKEA totals are floors. The $19 rate applies to qualifying orders under 300 pounds and varies by ZIP code; for the four-seat KIVIK brought into the room by a nonmember, scheduled in-home delivery at $69 plus $52 assembly makes it $1,970. Run the same sum with your own ZIP code, the service you actually want and the removal of the old sofa, and that is the number to budget. **Quiz: Can you budget this sectional?** 1. The IKEA KIVIK four-seat corner is $1,849 and the five-seat is $1,899. What is the six-seat? - $1,949 - $2,849 **(correct answer)** - $2,399 2. Your sectional costs $3,358 and Pottery Barn is delivering it 30 miles with white glove service. What is the delivery charge? - $159 - $279 **(correct answer)** - $429 3. A modular listing shows no price for a single seat. What should you ask for? - The price of one seat and one side in your cover, multiplied by your layout **(correct answer)** - The average price of a sectional - The price of the display model 4. Which seller here gives 365 days to return a KIVIK sectional? - Monvane - Burrow - IKEA **(correct answer)** ## Frequently asked questions **How much should I spend on a sectional?** Start with the shape and seat count, then the band that covers it: under $1,000 for a compressed L or U, about $1,800 to $2,900 for an IKEA KIVIK corner or chaise sectional, and about $2,500 to $7,700 for West Elm and Pottery Barn configurations, as of September 2026. Add delivery and assembly, which ran from nothing at Monvane to several hundred dollars for white glove service. **What is the average price of a sectional couch?** A single figure would mix a $499.99 boneless L with a Cloud sectional past $10,000, so the range for your shape is the more useful number. Read on their own listings in September 2026, six-seat sectionals ran from $799.99 for Monvane's chenille U to $2,849 for IKEA's KIVIK six-seat, with Burrow's six-seat Nomad corner at $3,899 regular. **Why do some sectionals cost so much more than others?** Size, cover and construction account for most of the gap. Among the sectionals here, the lower-priced ones list foam over a boneless or unnamed frame, IKEA lists pocket springs, and West Elm's Reagan lists a kiln-dried solid oak and engineered wood frame with sinuous springs; size and fabric together move a single West Elm listing by thousands of dollars. **Does a sectional cost more to deliver than a sofa?** It can. Pottery Barn's white glove charge depends on the order total and distance, $279 within 50 miles on an order over $999, and the Big Sur chaise sectional, from $3,358, is well over that line. At IKEA the starting rate applies to qualifying orders under 300 pounds, so a large sectional may cost more to deliver than the starting figure. ### Terms on a sectional's price and delivery Tap a term to see what it means. **Sale price.** The reduced price a listing shows against its regular price, such as Monvane's chenille L at $499.99 against $799.99. Confirm it at checkout, since it can end before you order. **White glove delivery.** Delivery into the room with the pieces set up and the packaging taken away. West Elm includes assembly with it; Pottery Barn prices it by distance and order total. **Room of choice delivery.** Delivery to the room you name, which may stop short of assembly. One Lovesac owner reported paying $199 for it without assembly or box removal. **Special order.** A fabric or size made after you order it. West Elm and Pottery Barn publish 8 to 10 weeks for special-order upholstery against 1 to 5 weeks for quick ship. **Corner section.** A single piece sold on its own to extend a sectional, such as IKEA's $950 KIVIK corner section. **Sinuous springs.** S-shaped springs running front to back under the seat. West Elm names them on the Reagan and the Marin, and asking whether a sectional has them tells you what sits under the cushions. Once you know the band for your shape and the delivery charge for your address, the next step is comparing named sectionals in that band.
