Place to sit, right until now (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
so far
'until now' is the definition.
(both can mean up to the current point)
'place to sit right' is the wordplay.
'place to sit' becomes 'sofa' (I've seen this in another clue).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'sofa'+'r'='SO FAR'
(Other definitions for so far that I've seen before include "till now" , "Up until the present moment" , "to a certain degree" , "To this point" .)
