Brayton — Cane-Back Sofa Cum Bed

It opens out flat rather than folding down. Closed it reads as a daybed against a wall; open it gives a flat sleeping surface across its 76 by 41 inch footprint. The cane backs sit at one end and along one side, so it works pushed into a corner.

The maker does not say - no fibre content, no fill type, no weight. On a piece someone is going to sleep on, that is a gap worth closing, so we are asking. If the cushion specification matters to you, ask us before ordering rather than after.

They are computer renders rather than photographs, produced by the maker. We checked them and they are internally consistent and accurate to the described product, but a render is not a photograph - grain, tone and the exact colour of the cushions will differ in the real piece, as they would with any solid wood item.

The maker publishes no finish name for this piece, and it is sold in a single configuration with no options. The renders show a warm mid-tone acacia. We are getting the finish confirmed rather than naming one from an image.

Brush it rather than wipe it - a cloth catches on the weave - and keep it dry. Cane lightens in sunlight faster than the wood around it, and very dry air can make it brittle. Do not lean or push on a cane panel: it is a facing, not a structural surface, and on this piece it sits exactly where someone will put their weight when getting up.
