How to Attach a Sectional Couch That Isn't Attached

Most sectional sofas aren't attached because they are easier to move and install in two or more pieces. If the feet feature nonslip grips or there is a carpet beneath the sofa, you can push the sections together and expect them to stay put. If the feet are slippery or the sofa is resting on wood, linoleum or laminate floors, use a sofa sectional connector to bind the pieces.
