# Arabic Star Royal Palace Majlis in Black Velvet and Gold

The Arabic Star Royal Palace Majlis is a black velvet palace majlis on a gold band of interlocking ovals, planned around the walls of your room with round or straight armrests edged in gold fringe. Along the base, the oval lattice follows every seat and turns each corner with it, and X-strap pillows carry the gold up onto the black velvet.

## Questions buyers ask

### How high can your majlis seating go? Can it sit like a regular sofa instead of low on the floor?

The highest full-foam majlis sits about 16 in (40 cm) from floor to seat top, close to a regular chair, with lower options at 12 in (30 cm), 8 in (20 cm) and 4 in (10 cm). Models on a wooden base sit at about 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm), depending on the model.

### Does a majlis set come with the rug, ottoman table and floor pillows, or are those extra?

A custom-measured majlis quote usually covers the seating only: seats, backrests, armrest bolsters and pillows. Rugs, ottomans, coffee table sets and curtains are optional add-ons quoted separately, so check your quote to see exactly which pieces are included.

## Which pieces make up a Black Velvet Palace Majlis order?

| Piece | How many | Size or note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Seat piece | One or more per wall | About 29.5 in (75 cm) deep, up to 75 in (190 cm) long |
| Corner seat | One for each inside corner | Drawn on your layout plan |
| Backrest | Two per full-length seat | 16 in (40 cm) tall and 4 in (10 cm) thick |
| Armrest | Spaced by the designer | Round or straight, with gold fringe |
| X-strap pillow | To order | Black velvet with gold straps |

The quote covers the seats, backrests, two styles of armrest and the matching pillows, each with cover and filling. The star table, rug and curtains in the photos are styling, quoted only on request. The set sits with our other [Yemeni majlis sets made to your walls](https://orientalsofa.com/yemeni-majlis/).

## How does the oval lattice follow your walls and corners?

Measure each seating wall from corner to corner, skip the doorways and send a sketch with photos. A 146 in (370 cm) wall becomes two pieces of about 73 in (185 cm), because no piece runs past 75 in (190 cm).

In the rooms shown, the gold band follows every seat and turns each corner with it. Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval. Seats are about 29.5 in (75 cm) deep, or 19.5 in (50 cm) to 23.5 in (60 cm) for a narrow room on request.

> If a corner looks easy on paper, ask how the two runs meet.

## All-foam modules or a wooden frame under the velvet?

| Build | Seat height | Worth knowing |
| --- | --- | --- |
| All-foam modules | 4 in (10 cm) to 16 in (40 cm) | Every layer of foam sits in a zippered cover |
| MDF and wood frame with foam seats | About 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm), by model | Not made lower than that |

Height is the first decision I would make here. At 16 in (40 cm) the seat matches a regular living-room sofa, which helps anyone who finds a low seat hard to leave. Floor-style rooms and prayer corners usually stay at 4 in (10 cm) or 8 in (20 cm).

A design photographed on a frame can also be made as all-foam floor seating, usually at 8 in (20 cm). Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build.

## Can the black velvet and gold be swapped for other colors?

The seats are plain black velvet. Patterned fabrics are not always woven in true black, so a patterned version would come in a very dark navy or charcoal. Most models can be made in any color from our range.

Solid colors are picked by number from the color card, in velvet, chenille or a linen-look weave. Ask us about fabric swatches and a foam sample before you order. Baroque and lattice bases like this one are gathered under palace-style majlis designs.

## Which three things should you settle before ordering?

- Which walls get seating, and where do doors and vents break the run?
- Who sits here most evenings, and how easily do they rise from a low seat?
- Should the table, rug and curtains be quoted too, or the seats alone?

Send the answers with your wall lengths. Custom orders are photographed and filmed for your approval before they ship. Check each piece against your drawing, my friend.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the Black Velvet Palace Majlis be made as an L instead of a U?

The design is not tied to one shape. It is made as an L, a U or a long run around a hall, since every seat piece is planned for your walls and each corner gets its own seat.

### Can the gold lattice be left off the palace majlis?

Gold accents are optional, so the black velvet seating can also sit on a plain base. Tell the team which details to keep, such as the X-strap pillows, and the layout plan shows the result first.

### Can more palace majlis pieces be added after delivery?

Single seats, backrests, armrests and covers can be ordered any time, for example when the set moves to a longer room. Keep your layout drawing at hand so new pieces follow the same measurements.
