There’s a version of a modern sofa that looks great in a showroom and falls apart in real life. The Parker Post from Essentials For Living isn’t that. At 86 inches wide, it’s built to anchor a room — not just decorate it. The olive green velvet is the kind of color that photographs beautifully and actually works with the other things you already own: warm wood tones, natural linen, even a good Persian rug. The 8-way hand-tied suspension and down-blend cushions mean it gets more comfortable over time, not less. This is a sofa you buy once and keep.

What You Get With the 86″ Parker Post Wood Olive Modern Sofa
- 8-way hand-tied suspension — the industry gold standard, meaning springs are individually tied in eight directions so the seat holds its shape and distributes weight evenly, year after year.
- Down and polyester blend cushions — seat cushions use a 2-to-1 down/poly ratio for that sink-in feel that still bounces back; back cushions are 50/50 for a softer lean.
- Reversible seat and back cushions with tie-downs — flip them when one side shows wear; the tie-downs keep them from sliding during a movie marathon or a long afternoon on the couch.
- Solid oak wood frame and legs — the natural gray-washed oak post legs give this sofa its name and its character; the detail that makes it feel designed rather than just assembled.
- 86.25″ W × 36.5″ D × 33.5″ H — substantial enough to seat three adults comfortably, with a 36-inch depth that actually lets you sit back without your feet dangling.
- 100% polyester velvet upholstery — more durable than silk or cotton velvet, resistant to snagging, and easy to vacuum; it handles real life without looking like it does.
- Free delivery on all LOOMLAN orders — no freight surprises at checkout; white-glove room placement is available if you want it brought in and positioned for you.
- Two bolster pillows included — in the same olive velvet, so you’re not hunting for throw pillows that match.
Is the 86″ Parker Post the Right Size for Your Room?
The Parker Post measures 86.25 inches wide, 36.5 inches deep, and 33.5 inches tall — just over seven feet of sofa. A good rule of thumb: leave 18 inches between the front of the sofa and your coffee table, and at least 30 inches of clear walkway on either side. For most living rooms, that means a room at least 12 feet wide. If you’re working with a tighter floor plan, the matching Parker Post Chair gives you the same look at a much smaller footprint.
What Is This Sofa Actually Made Of?
The upholstery is 100% polyester velvet — which sounds less glamorous than “silk velvet” but is genuinely better for a sofa you’re going to use. Polyester velvet resists snagging, holds its pile longer, and is far easier to clean. The frame is solid oak wood with MDF and plywood reinforcement where it counts. The legs are solid oak with a natural gray wash that keeps the look grounded without going full Scandi. The cushion fill is a down and polyester blend — not all-down (constant fluffing) and not all-poly (feels like a firm mattress).
How Do I Care for This Velvet Sofa?
Vacuum the velvet regularly with an upholstery attachment to keep the pile from matting — once a week if you have pets, less if you don’t. For spills, blot immediately with a clean cloth; don’t rub, because rubbing pushes the liquid deeper into the pile. A damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild dish soap handles most stains. Avoid direct sunlight if you can, since velvet fades over time with UV exposure. The reversible cushions are your best maintenance tool — flip them every few months to even out wear.
How Long Does Delivery Take for This Sofa?
Most LOOMLAN sofas in stock ship within 3 to 7 business days and arrive within 1 to 2 weeks depending on your location. You’ll get a tracking notification the moment your order ships. White-glove delivery — where the carrier brings it inside, unpacks it, and places it exactly where you want it — is available for an additional fee. If you have a specific project deadline, call us at 833-566-6526 and we’ll confirm current lead times.
How Do I Style This Sofa?
The olive green velvet reads as a warm neutral against most wood tones — walnut, oak, and even painted white furniture all work. Pair it with a rug that extends at least 12 inches beyond the sofa on each side; an 8×10 or 9×12 works for most rooms. Add a coffee table 16 to 18 inches in front, flank with accent chairs in linen, boucle, or leather, and finish with a floor lamp in the corner. Add contrasting throw pillows in cream, terracotta, or deep navy to complete the look.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this sofa fit through a standard doorway?
- The sofa is 86.25 inches wide and 36.5 inches deep. Most standard doorways are 32 to 36 inches wide, so you’ll need to angle it through. Measure your entry, hallways, and any tight corners before ordering. The legs detach, which helps with clearance. Call us at 833-566-6526 if you have a tight entry and we’ll walk through it with you.
- Is the Parker Post good for everyday use with kids and pets?
- Yes. The 100% polyester velvet is more durable than natural velvet and resists snagging. The reversible cushions are a practical feature for families — flip them when one side shows wear. That said, velvet does show pet hair more than a textured fabric, so factor that in if you have a heavy shedder.
- What size rug pairs well with this sofa?
- For an 86-inch sofa, an 8×10 rug is the minimum; a 9×12 is ideal for larger rooms. The goal is to have the front legs resting on the rug, which anchors the seating area. Browse LOOMLAN’s area rug collection and filter by size to find the right match.
- Does LOOMLAN offer trade pricing on this sofa for design projects?
- Yes. Interior designers, hospitality buyers, architects, and commercial contractors qualify for exclusive trade pricing through the LOOMLAN Trade Program. The Parker Post is well-suited for hotel lobbies, model homes, boutique hotel suites, and commercial lounge installations. Email trade@loomlan.com or visit Trade program” target=”_blank”>onlyb2b.com to apply.

- Eligible items can be returned within 5 days of delivery, unused and in original packaging, with prior authorization. We recommend using our Visual Search feature before ordering — upload a photo of your room and we’ll match it to the closest piece in our collection.
- Is the velvet on this sofa pet-friendly?
- More so than silk or cotton velvet. The 100% polyester construction resists snagging from claws and is easy to vacuum. It won’t be completely immune to pet hair, but it holds up to everyday pet contact better than most velvet options at this price point.
