FAQ
What is the difference between open-end and chaise?
An open-end sectional has regular depth seating without an armrest on one side. A chaise sectional extends one seat much deeper for full leg stretching. Open-ends let people sit normally or enter from the side easily. Chaise creates a lounging spot where someone can lie back fully. Open-ends work better for flexible seating, while chaises focus on relaxation and lounging comfort.
Can the open-end be changed later?
This depends on the collection. Anabei open-end sectionals are fully modular, so you can rearrange the layout whenever you like. If you decide to move the open-end to the opposite side, it can be easily repositioned — you’re never locked into a single configuration. That flexibility makes it easy to adapt your sofa as your space or needs change over time.
Are open-end sectionals suitable for corner rooms?
Yes, open-end sectionals work very well in corner rooms. Place the corner piece in the actual room corner with sections extending along two walls. Position the open end facing into the room rather than toward a wall. This creates welcoming seating that doesn't block the space. The open side makes the corner feel less closed off and easier to access. Corner rooms actually benefit from open-end designs more than fully armed sectionals.
Are covers removable and washable?
Cover removability varies by sofa model. Some feature zippered covers that can be taken off for cleaning, while others have upholstery that is permanently attached. Anabei sofas are designed with fully removable slipcovers made from high-performance fabrics that resist liquids and stains. Every cover is machine washable, making it simple to keep your sofa looking fresh over time.
Can I customize the fabric of an Open-End sectional?
Yes, definitely! With 16 performance fabrics to choose from, you can select the option that best fits your lifestyle. Every fabric is machine-washable, liquid-resistant, and stain-resistant. If you have pets, be sure to explore our pet-friendly, snag-resistant options.
Open-End Sectional Sofas Designed for More Flexible Layouts
Anabei’s open-end sectional sofas are designed around modular seating layouts that create a more open and flexible living room arrangement. Unlike traditional sectionals with arms on both ends, open-end configurations leave one or both sides without an armrest, creating a more accessible seating layout and a less visually enclosed appearance.
The collection includes left-facing, right-facing, and double open-end modular sectionals built from interchangeable seating components. Because the system is modular, layouts can also be rearranged or expanded over time depending on room size and seating needs. Customers can also add individual seating pieces through Anabei's Build Your Own collection, making it possible to grow an existing configuration rather than replace it entirely as needs change.
Built within the broader Anabei modular seating collection, the category combines adaptable layouts, washable upholstery, and performance fabrics designed for everyday living spaces.
Designed for Open Layouts & Multi-Directional Spaces
Open-end sectionals are often used in rooms where flexibility and traffic flow are especially important. The absence of a fixed arm on one or both sides allows the seating arrangement to feel more integrated into the room rather than acting as a closed-off furniture block.
The category works particularly well for:
- Open-concept living rooms
- Spaces with multiple walkways or entry points
- Floating furniture layouts
- Medium and larger family rooms
- Living spaces that prioritize conversational seating
Because the seating edges remain open, the layouts can feel more visually flexible within the room itself. The armless side also simplifies entry and exit from different seating positions, particularly in spaces where people move frequently around the furniture.
The modular structure additionally allows customers to shift between left-facing, right-facing, or expanded configurations over time through additional seating modules.
Built Around Modular Seating & Washable Upholstery
One of the defining characteristics of the Anabei open-end collection is its combination of modular construction and removable washable slipcovers.
Features across the collection include:
- Open-end sectional configurations
- Left-facing and right-facing layouts
- Modular seating components
- Machine washable removable slipcovers
- Performance fabrics designed for everyday use
- Pet-friendly upholstery options
The collection is available across multiple upholstery textures and 16 fabric color options designed to coordinate with Anabei’s broader seating collection. Customers can also order free fabric swatches before selecting a configuration.
Rather than functioning as a fixed sectional layout, the collection is designed to support changing room arrangements and evolving household needs over time.
What Makes Anabei Open-End Sectionals Different
Many sectional sofas use fully enclosed layouts that can feel visually heavy within open living spaces. Anabei approaches the category differently by combining modular seating flexibility with more open-ended configurations designed to improve movement and layout adaptability.
Because the collection is modular, customers can reconfigure layouts, add additional seating sections, or adjust orientations over time rather than replacing the full sectional.
The removable upholstery system also supports easier maintenance within high-use living environments. Covers can be removed and machine washed, helping simplify upkeep in homes with pets, children, entertaining, and everyday wear.
By combining open-ended modular layouts with washable performance upholstery, Anabei’s sectional collection is designed to support more adaptable and lower-maintenance living spaces.
