The Best Loveseats
Rivet Revolve Modern Upholstered Loveseat Sofa
This loveseat is part of a larger set that can be ordered separately if you are looking to furnish an entire room. The other pieces include a chair, sofa, and a sectional with chaise. You can choose your loveseat in either cloth or leather options, and both come in multiple colors. Assembly is as simple as screwing in the legs and arranging the pillows. The legs allow the loveseat to sit up off of the floor, making it easy to get in and out of, and the cushions are firm and durable. The main critique is that the back of the couch has a low profile so the back cushions rise up beyond the support of the couch lessening upper-back support. The loveseat is stylish and a great addition to most rooms.
Pros
- Easy to assemble
- Sits high
- Firm, durable cushions
Cons
- Cushions raise higher than the back of the loveseat so less upper-back support
Key Features
- Hardwood frame with beech wood legs
- Cloth upholstery
Specifications
- Brand: Rivet
- Dimensions: 56.3″ wide, 35.4″ tall, and 34.6″ deep

The drawback to it being so lightweight is that it has a tendency to move easily on bare floors, so a rug or carpet is likely necessary to ensure it stays in place. It comes in either beige, dark grey, or light blue so only a couple of color options, but neutral colors that are likely to work with most room designs.

- Easy to assemble
- Storage for legs and assembly equipment in pocket under seat for easy moving

Loveseat Buying Guide
Loveseats are a great addition to a living room set or as a sitting area in a bedroom. Choosing the right fit for your space shouldn’t have to be overwhelming, but it can become stressful when looking at all of the options on the market. Size and weight, design, and assembly required are all factors that go into choosing the best place to relax. Don’t forget to take these into account when choosing the loveseat that is right for you.
Size
Loveseats do not come in a standard width, so it is important to measure the space you will be using it in to ensure that it will fit. Another important factor is the actual seat width, not simply the width of the entire love seat as the armrests can take up varying amounts of space leaving more or less area for two to comfortably cuddle up. If you have the space available, go for a slightly wider loveseat that will be more comfortable and spacious for multiple occupants.
Design Vs. Comfort
Design is generally the primary concern of many as they want to ensure it looks nice in their space. While this is clearly important, don’t sacrifice comfort for design if your intention is to use it regularly for extended periods of time. If you are purchasing as an accent piece that will not be sat in often, then you have more wiggle room to select something more your style without worrying about comfort. We recommend selecting an option that is first and foremost comfortable, and then choose the design that you are most comfortable with as a secondary factor.
Assembly
Loveseats can either come fully assembled, require feet/legs to be attached, or require full assembly. Make sure you know what you are getting before you buy so that you are not surprised when it arrives. Products that require assembly may be preferred for those that live in buildings with tight stairwells or doorways, while others want a finished product when it arrives at their home.
