Every seat and backrest has its own zippered cover, so one marked cover comes off alone, and a replacement cover can be ordered at any time. ## Questions buyers ask ### Have you made sets in the colors I picked before, and can I see photos of real finished projects? Photos and videos of finished majlis sets are kept by fabric number, so the team can send examples in the browns you shortlisted. Ask for examples at the same seat height and layout as yours for the most useful comparison. ### Do you offer faux leather for a family majlis? Faux leather is available in plain colors only and wipes clean easily. Solid-color fabrics are straightforward too, and a faux leather color chart is available for custom orders. ## What does a brown velvet order list, line by line? | Line on the quote | How many | Size | | --- | --- | --- | | Seat module | Per wall, in equal lengths | Up to 75 in (190 cm) long, about 29.5 in (75 cm) deep | | Backrest | Two per full-length seat | 37.5 × 16 × 4 in (95 × 40 × 10 cm) | | Corner backrest | One per inside corner | 23.5 × 16 × 4 in (60 × 40 × 10 cm) | | Armrest | 2 to 4 on a small L, 6 or more on a large U | 10 × 10 × 21.5 in (25 × 25 × 55 cm) on raised builds | | Accent pillow | Set by the designer | To order | | Glass tables | Optional | Quoted separately | Each line is foam inside its own zippered cover. Brown velvet is only one of the fabrics behind our [Yemeni-style majlis seating](https://orientalsofa.com/yemeni-majlis/); chenille and linen-look weaves go on the same modules. Pictured is a mocha velvet room from the same family, on a quilted charcoal base; this design pairs the brown velvet with X-base glass tables. ## How does brown velvet cope with a busy family room? A deep brown hides small marks better than cream, though no fabric is spill-free. I would still choose brown over cream for a room where the children eat their snacks. - Blot a spill at once with a dry cloth, and unzip the cover if a mark stays. - Covers unzip, and a marked one can go through a gentle 86°F (30°C) machine wash with a mild detergent. - Let a washed cover air-dry fully, away from heat, which can shrink it. The longer routine is in our guide to [cover washing and everyday care](https://orientalsofa.com/arabic-sofa-care-guide/). > Coffee spills happen. The zipper is there so they do not become history. ## Room size, seat height and extras: what is fixed before cutting? Three things are settled before any fabric is cut. The room size comes first, wall by wall. Then the seat height: 4 in (10 cm) or 8 in (20 cm) for floor-style sitting, 12 in (30 cm) or 16 in (40 cm) for older knees. Last comes the list of extras, because tables, rugs and curtains are separate lines. > A family in California sent a reference photo and a room of about 108 in (275 cm) by 108 in (275 cm), asking for a raised majlis with seating wrapped around the corners. They first asked whether the base could be MDF and whether the seat could sit 18 in (46 cm) off the ground; our team showed a video of a build at that height, and the family settled on a 16 in (40 cm) seat. After reviewing fabric videos, they chose a brown colour in the style of another photo, with one plain colour on the seat mattresses. Later they enlarged the plan to 114 in (290 cm) by 114 in (290 cm), and added a round table set of four side tables and one centre table after asking why the tables were a separate line in the plan. A wooden base fixes the seat at 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm), with no lower option. Sizes, seat height and fabric number are all checked with you once more before production. Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval. ## How dark should the brown be, and can it change? Choose the brown by its number on the color card, and the shade on your quote is the one that gets sewn. A darker brown suits a room with daily traffic. Gold accents are optional, and the same modules take any other color in the range. Ask us about fabric swatches and a foam sample before you order. ## If something looks wrong after delivery, what is the first step? - If a seat looks flat out of its vacuum bag, give it about a day. Open every bag within about a week. - If a box is late, check its tracking: boxes can arrive on different days. - If a cover is past saving, a single replacement cover can be ordered any time. Production time depends on your layout and the season — ask us for the current schedule. Progress photos come along the way. Custom orders are photographed and filmed for your approval before they ship. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can the brown velvet seats be made without a wooden base? A wooden base is optional on most designs, so the brown velvet can sit on all-foam modules instead. Those come in two main heights, 12 in (30 cm) and about 16 in (40 cm), and lower floor-style seats are possible too. ### Can more brown velvet seats be added later? Single seats, backrests and covers in the same velvet can be ordered any time, as the family grows. Keep your layout drawing, because new pieces are cut to the sizes listed on it. ### Are the X-base glass tables sold with the brown majlis? The glass tables are an add-on with their own line on the quote. A set pairs one big table with four side tables, or nests 5, 7 or 9 pieces, and the seating can be ordered without any of them. ## Related pages - [Plan your majlis from your wall measurements](https://orientalsofa.com/tools/majlis-planner/) - [White Elegance Royal Jalsah](https://orientalsofa.com/urun/elegance-royal-jalsah-arabic-yemeni-star-majlis/) - [Cream Jalsah with Glass Table](https://orientalsofa.com/urun/cream-arabic-jalsah-four-seating-zones/)
