IKEA sectionals.. tell me everything
FRIHETEN L SHAPE SOFA
Depending on which fabric you get, it is completely unwashable. I got mine used, so not sure exactly which fabric I have, but it's a medium gray, and there are literally no cleaning options for it. Some parts of the cover are attached to the frame in a way that you would have to take apart the whole thing to remove them for cleaning, but the "cleaning instructions" pretty much say you can't clean it no matter what because it's not supposed to be machine washed, dry-cleaned, steam cleaned, or really gotten wet in any way. Really absurd choice by Ikea for something that any normal person would obviously want/need to clean from time to time.

If you own an ikea sectional please tell me your experience. We are looking into getting a kivik. I don’t love the upholstery options, though.
I’ve spent MONTHS searching for a sectional—specifically “low toxic” and I’m exhausted haha we can’t afford 10 k for a fully latex/wood sectional right now and with little babies I don’t know if I want to spend $$$ on a couch that is going to be used and abused by toddlers and dogs for the foreseeable future.
