# Premium Yemeni Jalsah in Ivory with Black-and-Gold Cube Tables

The Premium Yemeni Jalsah is ivory seating edged in gold and cut to your wall measurements, with gold-framed cube tables topped in black glass quoted as a separate line. Ivory and cream look alike on a screen but differ on a wall, so the shade is chosen by its own number on the fabric card.

## Questions buyers ask

### What's the difference between upholstered sponge tables and wooden tables for a majlis?

Sponge tables are firm foam blocks covered in the majlis fabric, so they match exactly and weigh less. Wooden tables are separate pieces with a traditional furniture look. Sponge tables can also be made taller to suit raised seats.

### What else can I add to a majlis to complete the room? Do you also sell dining sets?

Dining tables and dining sets aren't part of the range; the workshop focuses on majlis and floor seating. Common additions are a full-foam ottoman table, a matching rug, pouf pillows and extra armrests, and any of them can be skipped.

## How many pieces line the walls of a Premium Yemeni Jalsah room?

| Piece | Count | Size |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Seat piece | As many as each wall needs | 75 in (190 cm) at most, about 29.5 in (75 cm) deep |
| Corner seat | One per inside corner | Same depth as the run |
| Backrest | Two per seat piece | 16 in (40 cm) tall |
| Armrest bolster | One per open end | 19.5 × 8 × 8 in (50 × 20 × 20 cm), larger on raised builds |
| Cube tables, rug | Separate quote lines | Sized to the room |

Counts follow your walls, so a small L and a full hall share piece names but not totals. Quotes work as for all [Yemeni majlis seating made to your walls](https://orientalsofa.com/yemeni-majlis/): seating first, then tables, rug and curtains as extra lines.

## Will a cluster of cube tables leave a clear path between the seats?

Open floor between two facing runs equals the width of the room less two seat depths: at about 29.5 in (75 cm) a side, a room 157 in (400 cm) wide keeps about 98 in (250 cm), and the cubes stand inside that.

I keep one long side of the tables free for the coffee tray. The cubes in the photo were chosen for that room; matching sets come as a center table with four smaller ones or as nesting sets of 5, 7 or 9, in star, round or square shapes.

## How high off the floor can the ivory jalsah be built?

| Seat height | Build | Suits |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 4 in (10 cm) | All foam, on the floor | Classic floor sitting |
| 8 in (20 cm) | All foam | A low seat with a little lift |
| 12 in (30 cm) | All foam | An easier rise |
| 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm) | All foam or a wooden base | Regular sofa height |

A wooden base stays at 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm) and is not made lower. With grandparents and small children in the same room, I would give at least one wall a 12 in (30 cm) seat. Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build.

> Guests forgive a long wait for coffee. They rarely forgive a bad seat.

## How much gold does the ivory jalsah need?

None, if you prefer: gold accents are optional, and every plain shade has its own number on the fabric card. Ask us about fabric swatches and a foam sample before you order.

- Fixed: no seat piece is longer than 75 in (190 cm)
- Adjustable: depth from about 19.5 in (50 cm) to 33.5 in (85 cm), plus height, build and fabric

More rooms in this tone sit under white, ivory and cream majlis designs.

## Which checks should you make from the doorway before ordering?

- From the door, note which wall a guest faces first; that run frames the tables.
- Walk to the farthest seat and check that no table corner blocks the way.
- Measure each wall between its corners, leave doorways out, and send the lengths with a sketch and photos.

Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval. After you sign, fabric and foam are cut in our Istanbul workshop and the covers are sewn. Production time depends on your layout and the season — ask us for the current schedule. Progress photos are shared along the way. Custom orders are photographed and filmed for your approval before they ship.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which rug sizes fit inside an ivory jalsah layout?

Stock rugs come in sizes between 31.5 × 79 in (80 × 200 cm) and 79 × 118 in (200 × 300 cm), but not every design is made in every size. Measure the open floor between the seat edges first, since the rug sits inside it.

### How many guests fit along a 150 in (380 cm) wall of the ivory jalsah?

A 150 in (380 cm) wall takes two seat pieces of 75 in (190 cm), each seating two to three people, so plan on four to six guests; armrests and corners change that a little.

### Is it worth ordering a spare set of ivory covers with the seating?

Covers are sold without foam as well, so a spare ivory set can sit in a cupboard for the months with the most guests. Keep your layout drawing, because each cover is cut to its own piece.
