# Thunder 982 Modular Sectional

## **Big Comfort. Bold Style. Built Your Way.**

The **Thunder 982 Modular Sectional by Franklin Furniture** brings a richer, more dramatic look to relaxed contemporary seating. Generously scaled cushions, broad clean-lined arms and deep charcoal upholstery give the Thunder a substantial modern presence, while its modular design lets you create a sectional around the size and shape of your living space.

Designed for gathering, the Thunder offers the kind of spacious seating that invites everyone to settle in. Left and right arm facing loveseats, an armless chair and seating wedge can be combined to create expansive corner configurations with plenty of room for family, friends and everyday lounging. Reversible chaise options add even more versatility when you want dedicated stretch-out comfort.

The **67.5″ deep reversible chaise** transforms one end of the sectional into an inviting lounging destination. Put your feet up, curl up with a blanket or completely stretch out—the generous depth gives you the freedom to relax your way.

Comfort starts with Franklin’s exclusive **WOW Seating System**. Gel-blended foam provides responsive cushioning and supportive comfort, while **premium virgin fiber fill** adds plush softness. **Premium down-alternative seating** takes the experience another step further, delivering the luxurious, sink-in character of down-inspired cushioning without traditional feather filling.

Loose, **reversible seat and back cushions** can be flipped and rotated to help distribute everyday wear and maintain their comfort and appearance. Generously padded sides and backs reinforce the Thunder’s substantial, inviting profile, while coordinating throw pillows in contrasting textures and patterns bring dimension to the deep charcoal upholstery.

For even greater flexibility, add the coordinating **44″ × 44″ bumper ottoman**. Its oversized cushioned surface makes it an ideal footrest, additional lounging area or flexible companion to your sectional arrangement.

The Thunder’s dark upholstery creates a sophisticated foundation that works beautifully with contemporary, modern organic and transitional interiors. The result is a sectional that feels substantial without feeling formal—**bold enough to anchor the room and comfortable enough to live on every day.**

**Made in the USA of domestic and imported materials.**
