Complete the set

The Complete the set section shows the other products in a product's group, for example the matching chair, ottoman and bench under a sofa. You make one group entry that lists the products, and each product points to that group. Adding a product to the set is one edit.

Complete the set on a phone: "The Harlow living room" above the heading, then cards for the Harlow sectional and the Pell club chair with their lead times. The sticky add to cart bar is at the bottom.
The group name shows above the heading.
