Sectionals can be separated into two or more pieces.

Couches that come in two, connected pieces are called sectionals. Sectionals can take up large areas of a room, depending on the size and location in the room. For a different look, you may want to separate the sectional. However, sectional units may have hardware, such as a connector assembly, that will need to be removed.
