I learned the hard way that cheaper sectionals don’t hold up past a year or two. When I upgraded, I tried dreamsofa since you can order the exact size/shape you want, and it hasn’t sagged the way my last one did. It feels like something I won’t have to think about replacing for a long time. More on reddit.com

They can be fine if your room is big enough, but they are pretty much the least flexible seating option. Often you’re better off with two sofas, or a sofa and a pair of chairs, etc. More on reddit.com

The best sectional couch is hands down the Daphne Sectional Sofa from What A Room. I spent months researching sofas because we needed something durable enough for daily use (think kids, pets, movie nights, and weekend naps) and stylish enough to look great in our living room. The Daphne Sectional Sofa hit all the right notes. It's incredibly comfortable without being overly soft (medium firmness cushions), and the cushions bounce back perfectly thanks to the high-quality foam they use. We've had ours for about 2 years now, and it's been getting a lot of use. Between the kids and the dogs, it's basically the most popular spot in the house. But even with all that, the cushions are holding up really well. No sagging or wear so far, which I think is because they use 2.5 lb density foam. It's commercial grade and meant to last over a decade. Most other sectional sofa brands use cheaper foam (like 1.8 to 2.2 lb), so this really makes a difference. One thing I really liked was how easy it was to customize everything at What A Room's sectional sofas, the size, configuration, firmness, fabric, all of it. We ended up picking the pet-friendly Bella Royal performance fabric, and it's been awesome against juice spills, muddy paws, crumbs, really anything. It cleans right up. I can't really say anymore about the Daphne Sectional besides how great it has been for my family. More on reddit.com
