# Custom-Made Star Yemeni Jalsah in Warm Beige

About 29.5 in (75 cm) from the wall to the seat edge is the standard depth of the Custom-Made Star Yemeni Jalsah, warm beige seating on dark gold-lined bases around a round center table. A narrow room can take 19.5 in (50 cm) to 23.5 in (60 cm) instead, and a deeper seat goes up to about 33.5 in (85 cm).

## Questions buyers ask

### How deep are the seats, and how far will the seating come out from the wall?

Standard floor sofa seats are 27.5 in (70 cm) deep, and most raised majlis seats measure about 29.5 in (75 cm) from the front edge to the wall, so plan that much floor out from every wall with seating; the backrests take part of that depth.

### When I measure for an L- or U-shaped majlis, should I subtract the corner depth myself?

Don't subtract anything: send the full wall-to-wall length of each wall and the designer handles the corners. Where two runs meet, about one seat depth comes off the connecting run, so deducting it yourself takes it off twice and the set comes out short.

## How is the warm beige jalsah broken into pieces along a wall?

| Piece | Count | Size |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Seat piece on a dark base | One per stretch of up to 75 in (190 cm) | About 29.5 in (75 cm) deep |
| Corner seat | One per inside corner | Same depth as the runs |
| Backrest | Two per seat piece | 16 in (40 cm) tall, 4 in (10 cm) thick |
| Armrest bolster | One per open end | 10 × 10 × 21.5 in (25 × 25 × 55 cm) on raised builds |

On a sketch I write the seat depth beside every wall first, because depth decides how much floor the tables get. These piece names apply to every [made-to-measure Yemeni majlis](https://orientalsofa.com/yemeni-majlis/) we make; the warm beige and dark trim are this design's own.

## How much seat is left once the backrest is in place?

A backrest 4 in (10 cm) thick takes about 4 in (10 cm) of the seat, so a standard 29.5 in (75 cm) seat leaves roughly 25.5 in (65 cm). Here is how three depths compare in a room 157 in (400 cm) wide with two facing runs:

| Seat depth | Left to sit on | Floor between two facing runs |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 23.5 in (60 cm) | About 19.5 in (50 cm) | About 110 in (280 cm) |
| 29.5 in (75 cm), standard | About 25.5 in (65 cm) | About 98 in (250 cm) |
| 33.5 in (85 cm) | About 29.5 in (75 cm) | About 91 in (230 cm) |

I would not go below 23.5 in (60 cm) unless the room leaves no choice, since about 19.5 in (50 cm) of real seat suits upright sitting more than leaning back.

> Measure in one unit, write it down once, and never mix units on one sketch.

## What do round tables change in a rectangular room?

In a long rectangle, I like a round center table: its curved edge leaves no corner to step around, and the wedge pieces can ring it or pull away for more floor. Round sits beside star and square in the table range, as a center table with four side pieces or a nesting group of 5, 7 or 9.

## Can the dark bases and gold lines be swapped for lighter ones?

Base fabric, seat fabric and gold lines are chosen per order from the numbered color card, and gold is optional; with a pale floor, a caramel or taupe base is the softer choice. Ask us about fabric swatches and a foam sample before you order.

- Your choice: seat height from 4 in (10 cm) to 16 in (40 cm)
- Your choice: depth from about 19.5 in (50 cm) to about 33.5 in (85 cm)

A related look with lighter bases is the taupe and cream majlis with mocha fret bases.

## How do you check the seat depth on your own floor?

1. Lay a tape out from the wall to 29.5 in (75 cm) and mark the seat edge.
2. Repeat on the facing wall and measure the floor between the marks.
3. If the gap feels tight, try 23.5 in (60 cm), then send the wall lengths and your depth to the design team.

Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval. The chosen depth is written beside each run, so a mistake shows on paper first. Production time depends on your layout and the season — ask us for the current schedule.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does the seat depth change if the beige jalsah is made lower?

Depth stays about 29.5 in (75 cm) whatever seat height you choose, so a 4 in (10 cm) floor-level version takes as much floor as a 16 in (40 cm) one. Plan around depth first, then pick the height.

### Are the round and wedge tables part of the Custom-Made Star Yemeni Jalsah?

The tables appear as a separate line on the quote, apart from the seating, so they can be added, changed or left out; mention them with your measurements and the design team places them on the drawing.

### Is a 33.5 in (85 cm) seat too deep for upright sitting?

Once a backrest 4 in (10 cm) thick is in place, a 33.5 in (85 cm) seat leaves about 29.5 in (75 cm), which suits leaning back more than sitting upright; the standard 29.5 in (75 cm) seat leaves about 25.5 in (65 cm).
