stubuzz Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 My wife has her eye on a teak sofa set (L 200 x D 60 x H 40 cm). However, it seems to be very narrow at only 60cm deep. The supplier also has a set with a 80cm depth, but claims that the 60cm set is the most popular. I am out of the country and the supplier is 800km away so it is not possible to take a look before buying. So, if anybody has a wooden chair set and could comment on the 60cm depth i would be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Our upholstered sofa is 54cm deep. 80 is too deep for most people's legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlover Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I would not consider buying any chairs or sofas until I've had a good long sit on them. I've made mistakes far too often in the past not to adhere to that principle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sat on a few wooden sofas in Thailand and as i remember all of them have been too large, but i think the size adds to their appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the idea of 80cm by the Thai wife? Or if by you, perhaps your hips are over 80cm? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same size as the one we have and can sit and lay comfortably if you use padded cushions. Edited September 27, 2021 by GreasyFingers added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubuzz Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 Thanks all for the input. I think 60cm is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) 80cm is more day bed than sofachair. Edited September 29, 2021 by VocalNeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
