Why are there two different leg heights included with my VIMLE sofa?
We have replaced the legs in our VIMLE sofa series, changing from 4 cm legs to 6.5 cm legs. The armrest package includes both the lower and the higher legs, depending on whether you have purchased a new VIMLE sofa or only a new sofa section for your existing VIMLE sofa.
If you have purchased a completely new sofa, you should use the higher legs. However, if you have only bought a new section that you want to add to an existing sofa with the shorter legs, you should instead use the shorter legs for your new section.
This does not apply if you have purchased the VIMLE sofa‑bed section - in that case, you must always use the higher legs.
The VIMLE sofa series has sections that can be combined however you like, allowing you to create a tailor‑made solution for you and your home!
