Which is the best option for your home: a sectional or a pair of sofas? Like the intractable conflict in the Middle East or getting everyone in your family to agree on where to go for dinner, there's no simple answer.

We may not know much about resolving centuries-long international disputes or picking between tacos and pizza, but we do know furniture. Complete our five question quiz below to find out whether a sectional makes sense for your space.

• elegant and a little formal [0 points]
