Modloft’s Perry Modular Sofa Set 01 is a low-profile, oversized modular sectional built for people who want to stretch out. In our hands-on testing, it felt most at home during movie nights, gaming sessions, and casual hosting in a larger room. The upside is easy, lounge-first comfort; the trade-off is that its low, deep shape is less natural for upright sitting and shorter legs.

Overview
| Sofa | Overall Score | Pros | Cons | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Perry Set 01 | 4.2/5 | Deep comfort; modular flexibility; forgiving fabric | Low seat height; large footprint; not posture-forward | Big rooms, tall loungers, couples who sprawl |
Verdict
After living with the Perry Set 01, our testing kept pointing to the same conclusion: this is a clean-lined lounge sectional that feels substantial and easy to use every day, but it is not built for work-chair posture. It works best when you want to sink in, shift positions, and stay put for a while.
Who It’s For
-
People who prefer a deep, relaxed sit for movies and gaming
-
Taller users who want more thigh support
-
Larger living rooms that can handle a wide sectional footprint
Who It’s Not For
-
Petite users whose feet tend to dangle on low seats
-
Anyone who wants upright, work-friendly support by default
-
Small spaces where a large sectional can block walkways
Testing
In our hands-on testing, we treated the Perry Set 01 like a daily-use living-room piece rather than a showroom sofa. We evaluated assembly, cooling, comfort across upright and reclined positions, durability over repeated use, layout practicality, cleaning, and value. Notes were logged across weeknights and weekends so the sofa was judged in normal routines, not just on a quick sit.
Experience
What stood out first was how quickly the Perry pulled us out of upright posture and into a lounge position. Marcus claimed a corner for late-night gaming and paid close attention to heat buildup. Jenna and Ethan used it the way most couples do—snacks, shifting positions, getting up, sitting back down. I kept testing the move from laptop posture to semi-recline, and the pattern was consistent: the sofa felt roomy and inviting, but it clearly favored relaxed hips and a looser spine over a straight-backed sit.

Choosing the Modloft Perry Modular Sofa Set 01
Start with seat geometry: the 16" seat height and 26" seat depth favor lounging over upright posture. If you’re tall, like to recline, or tend to stretch out, that will likely feel natural. If you’re petite or prefer a cleaner 90-degree sit, plan on a lumbar pillow or footrest. Then look at the room itself. A 126" x 126" footprint needs real breathing room and clear walkways. For a more upright everyday sit, the Room & Board Metro Sofa is worth a look. If you want easier reconfiguration in a smaller footprint, the Burrow Range Sectional makes more sense.
Limitations
The Perry makes its priorities obvious. It wants you to relax, not perch. The low seat height can be annoying if you have sore knees or prefer easier stand-up support. The deep seat can push shorter users into a slouch unless they add back support. And although it is modular, the pieces feel heavy enough that most owners will likely settle on one layout and leave it there.
Perry vs Alternatives
Why choose these models
-
You want a deep, modern lounge sit for long sessions
-
Your room can support a big footprint without pinching traffic flow
-
You like modular flexibility but expect to keep one main layout
Alternatives to consider
-
Burrow Range Sectional: better if you want easier reconfiguration in a tighter room
-
Room & Board Metro Sofa: better if you want a more upright everyday sit
-
Crate & Barrel Lounge Sofa: better if you want a similarly relaxed feel with a more traditional plush look
Pro Tips
-
Tape out a 126" x 126" footprint on the floor before committing to placement.
-
If you work on a laptop, keep a firm lumbar pillow nearby and sit slightly forward.
-
Add a low ottoman or pouf to fine-tune leg support in reclined positions.
-
Rotate your favorite seat weekly to spread out wear patterns.
-
For warm sitters, use a breathable throw instead of piling on heavy blankets.
-
Spot-clean quickly and blot instead of rubbing so a fresh spill does not spread.
-
Keep a lint roller or upholstery brush nearby if you have pets or wear dark clothing.
-
If standing up feels awkward, leave open floor in front of the sofa instead of crowding it with a tight coffee-table gap.
-
Treat the modular layout as semi-permanent and plan the best configuration upfront.
FAQs
Does the seat feel too low day to day?
It feels distinctly lounge-low. It quickly made sense for relaxing, but quick sit-stand moments—like answering the door or tying shoes—felt less effortless than they do on a higher sofa.
Is it comfortable for laptop work?
It is fine in short bursts. For longer sessions, it nudges you into a recline, so a lumbar pillow and a firmer lap desk made a noticeable difference in our testing.
How does it handle long movie nights with two people?
This is one of its strongest use cases. Jenna and Ethan could shift positions without feeling cramped, and the deep seating made feet-up lounging feel natural for a full movie.
