Questions buyers ask

My U set has three backrests in the photo, but along my three walls I count room for seven. Can extra ones be added?
Backrests are counted to your walls, not to the catalog photo. Long backrests measure 37.5 × 16 × 4 in (95 × 40 × 10 cm), two to each 75 in (190 cm) seat, and a short corner backrest of 23.5 × 16 × 4 in (60 × 40 × 10 cm) fills each turn of an L or U. List the extra pieces on the same quote so they are made and packed with the set.
Is a 8 in (20 cm) seat one solid piece, or two 4 in (10 cm) layers stacked? I'm not sure which one I picked.
Both builds exist: a 8 in (20 cm) seat can be one solid block or two stacked 4 in (10 cm) cushions. Stacked layers are separate pieces, not sewn together, so the top one can come off and serve as an extra floor mattress for guests. Say which build you want when you order, so the quote confirms it before cutting.

Local questions

Can velvet and linen be mixed in one majlis?

Velvet and linen sets are separate collections, and fabrics are not mixed across collections, so a linen set stays linen throughout. Pick the family first, Turkish velvet, chenille, linen-look weaves or a cotton-polyester blend, then compare colors within it.

How high can the seats be for an office or for older guests?

Floor sofa cushions come in four thicknesses: 4 in (10 cm), 8 in (20 cm), 12 in (30 cm) and 16 in (40 cm). At 16 in (40 cm), a raised majlis sits at about the seat height of a regular living-room sofa, the usual pick when someone finds low seats hard to get up from.

Can bench cushions for a balcony or terrace be made to size?

The atelier makes made-to-measure cushions for window seats, dining benches, balconies and reading nooks, so send the length and depth of your bench. Cushions meant for a terrace are covered in a water-repellent outdoor fabric, mostly in plain colors.
