# Elegance Royal Jalsah: White and Gold Yemeni Star Majlis

The Elegance Royal Jalsah is a white and gold Yemeni majlis planned around your walls, with cream seats on a brown base faced in gold fretwork and backrests crossed by gold straps. Boxy brown armrests faced in the same fretwork close each open end, and the dark chevron pillows carry a gold stripe.

## Questions buyers ask

### Can the cream covers on the Elegance Royal Jalsah go in a washing machine?

The covers unzip from the foam and can be machine-washed on a gentle 86°F (30°C) cycle with a mild detergent. Heat can shrink them, so skip the dryer and refit each cover only once it is fully dry.

### If one cream seat cover on the Elegance Royal Jalsah gets a mark that will not wash out, can I replace only that piece?

Single pieces and covers-only sets can be ordered any time, so one lasting mark does not mean a new majlis. Ask us with a photo of the piece and its size from your layout drawing.

## Which pieces make up the Elegance Royal Jalsah?

| Piece | On this design | Size |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Seat module | Cream on a brown base faced with gold fretwork | Up to 75 in (190 cm) long, about 29.5 in (75 cm) deep |
| Corner module | Cream, turning each inside corner | One per inside corner |
| Backrest | Cream and channel-stitched, some with gold straps | Two per seat, each half its length |
| Straight armrest | Brown box faced with gold fretwork | At each open end |
| Round armrest bolster | Cream with a gold band | 19.5 × 8 × 8 in (50 × 20 × 20 cm) on low builds |
| Accent pillow | Dark chevron weave with a gold stripe | Set on the drawing |

No count is fixed in advance: the design team draws every piece your walls need, each as foam in a zippered cover. Darker designs in our [Yemeni majlis collection](https://orientalsofa.com/yemeni-majlis/) share this module list; cream mainly changes the care routine.

## How does a 146 in (370 cm) wall become seat pieces?

A 146 in (370 cm) wall becomes two equal seats of about 73 in (185 cm), because no seat piece runs past 75 in (190 cm). Walls are measured along the floor from corner to corner, with doorways left out.

Seats sit about 29.5 in (75 cm) deep, or about 19.5 in (50 cm) to 23.5 in (60 cm) for a narrow room. Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval.

## How high can the seats sit, with or without the brown wood?

| Seat height | Build | Suits |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 4 in (10 cm) | All foam | Classic floor-level sitting and prayer rooms |
| 8 in (20 cm) | All foam | Low seating with a little more ease |
| 12 in (30 cm) | All foam | Anyone who finds low seats hard to rise from |
| 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm), depending on the model | All foam, or foam seats on an MDF and wood frame | About the seat height of a regular sofa |

Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build. Builds with wood sit at about 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm) and are not made lower, and on a 16 in (40 cm) seat the backrest brings the total height to about 31.5 in (80 cm). Production time depends on your layout and the season — ask us for the current schedule.

## What can change on this design, from fabric to gold trim?

- Shade: picked by number from the fabric color card, so the cream can move toward ivory or beige.
- Gold: the straps and fretwork accents are optional.
- Fabric and build: indoor velvet, chenille, a linen-look weave or a cotton-polyester blend, as all foam or on an MDF and wood frame.

Other ivory and cream majlis designs show how far a pale palette can travel. Pale fabric shows marks sooner than navy or maroon. Ask us about fabric swatches and a foam sample before you order.

## How does a cream majlis cope with small children and daily use?

Firm upholstered backrests stay put, while soft pillow-style backs end up on the floor once toddlers find them. Each seat takes two, each about half its length.

> A US family with two young children wanted light seating to match rugs they already owned. They chose a beige that sat between two catalog fabric shades and picked firm standard backrests over loose pillow-style ones, because the children would pull loose pillows onto the floor. Their living-room wall was about 335 in (850 cm). The parents had drawn a sketch with help from an AI chat assistant that left room for a small drawer unit, and the designer read it as runs of 236 in (600 cm) and 56 in (142 cm). The proposal came in two builds: a washable standard build and an upholstered 8 in (20 cm) full-sponge build, with an optional rug, table set, ottoman and a three-layer curtain. When the family asked what separated the two builds, the team explained the foam grade and the velvet used in the upholstered one and offered a lighter-spec alternative. The family went ahead with the order.

My rule for pale covers: wash the one that looks dull, not the whole room, and keep the chevron pillows to a few while the children are small.

> Unzip, wash gently, air-dry and be patient.

The longer routine is in our [everyday majlis care guide](https://orientalsofa.com/arabic-sofa-care-guide/). When you are ready, neighbor, send your wall lengths, a room photo, your seat height and the shade you lean toward. Custom orders are photographed and filmed for your approval before they ship.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the Elegance Royal Jalsah be made without the brown wood?

Most of our designs can be built with or without a wooden base and backrests, so this one can also be made as all-foam seating. Ask the team how the gold fretwork would carry over.

### Are the black glass tables and the blue cove light part of the order?

The order covers the seating: seat modules, backrests, both armrest styles and pillows with covers and filling. Tables, rugs and curtains are separate add-ons, and the lighting belongs to the room.

### Does the cream look blue when a colored ceiling cove is switched on?

Pale fabric takes on the color of the light around it, so under a blue cove the seats read cool at night and return to cream by day.
