Frequently asked questions

  • Built Best is designed so when life happens, you replace parts, not the whole couch. Every component is available individually—frames, cushions, foam, pillows, and covers.

  • Shipping included:

    • Small frame pieces: $25
    • Large frame pieces: $40
    • Seat cushion: $75
    • Individual fabric pieces: $55
    • Back pillow (Armless / Small Corner): $55
    • Back pillow (Wide Armless / Large Corner): $65
    • Back foam (Armless / Small Corner): $55
    • Back foam (Wide Armless / Large Corner): $65

    No need to replace the whole couch over one worn piece.

  • If you’ve built a bookshelf, you’ve got this. Assembly takes about 45 minutes per unit. Instructions are written by real humans.

  • Yes. Everything ships flat-packed in boxes designed to fit through standard doors, staircases, and elevators.

  • Yes. All units connect with strong connector bolts that keep all units locked together but make it easy to undo the bolts and rearrange layouts when needed. We tested the bolts with all hands - 7 years old to 70 years old - to make sure they are ergonomic and feel easy to twist!

  • Assembled frames were tested to hold over 2,000 pounds. It was the same test that is used to approve furniture used on military bases - so, it's meant to be tough!

  • Yes. Unit fabrics are:

    • PFAS-free
    • Flame-retardant-free
    • OEKO-TEX® certified (or in process)
    • Stain-resistant via iClean™ technology
    • Fully machine-washable

    Cold wash. Gentle cycle. Hang dry.

    (Storage liners - sold separately - are wipeable, not machine washable.)

  • They’re water-resistant, not waterproof. Spills bead up if caught quickly, but standing liquid should be avoided.

  • While no fabric is fully pet-proof, many customers have great success with our performance velvets and weaves. Covers are removable and replaceable if life happens!

  • Nope. We believe in honest pricing every day. No inflated prices, no fake discounts — just fair pricing built around quality and longevity.
