How does the waiting scenario affect the sofa?
For short waits, compactness and a clear fit are important. If a visitor spends 20-40 minutes in the area, back support, a table for things and personal distance are needed. In a consultation area, a sofa should not force a person to talk across the hall.
Do not fill the entire area with upholstered furniture. Leave a direct route to the counter, elevator and exit, space for a stroller and the ability for staff to freely clean the room.

Check seams, corners, supports and the ability to replace the damaged element. For a modular system, it is important whether individual sections will remain accessible after a few years.
