Each full seat takes two or three adults, so about 591 in (1500 cm) of seating along the walls is enough for a large family gathering. ## Questions buyers ask ### Can you take a very large order for a hall with hundreds of feet of floor seating, and what do you need to quote it? Large halls are quoted as a project, section by section along the walls, and the team offers both wooden and full-foam builds for comparison. State clearly whether your numbers are in feet, inches or meters, and add a short video of the space with the doors, pillars and vents in view. ### Is the overall room size enough for a quote, or do you need each wall measured? Overall room size is a start, but an accurate quote needs the wall-to-wall length of every wall that will carry seating, plus a simple sketch of doors, windows and corners. Cushion sizes are not your job: the designer turns those lengths into seats, backrests and corner pieces and sends a layout drawing to approve before production. ## What goes into a jalsah that lines a whole hall? | Piece | Role in a long hall | Size or count | | --- | --- | --- | | Seat piece | Fills each wall in equal lengths | Up to 75 in (190 cm) long, about 29.5 in (75 cm) deep | | Corner seat | Joins two walls without a gap | One for each inside corner | | Backrest | Gold-toned and tufted on this design | A pair for every full seat | | Armrest | Ends each run and breaks up long walls | About 10 × 10 × 21.5 in (25 × 25 × 55 cm) on raised builds | | Accent pillow | Champagne cushions along the backrests | To order | A hall jalsah is less a set than a single line of seating, and it is drawn the way every design in [the Yemeni majlis family of designs](https://orientalsofa.com/yemeni-majlis/) is drawn, wall by wall, before anything is sewn. Tables, rugs and curtains are quoted separately, on request. ## How much seating does a long hall need for a family gathering? A useful rule is that each 75 in (190 cm) seat piece takes two or three adults, so a hall lined with about 591 in (1500 cm) of seating welcomes a large family with room to spare, and on a run that long the designer spaces six or more armrests so that no one feels squeezed between neighbors. > The guest who arrives last still deserves a backrest. ## How is a hall this long measured and drawn? Measure each wall along the floor from corner to corner, note every door, column and window, and send the numbers with a sketch or a short video, since a long hall hides more surprises than a small sitting room. Ask us for a design consultation — we can talk through your room on a video call. One person reading the tape while another writes is the calmest way through a long room. Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval. ## What happens when a long jalsah arrives in many boxes? A set this size travels in several boxes that may arrive on different days, and the pieces are numbered at the workshop to match your drawing, so the hall fills in order rather than by guesswork. Cut the vacuum bags open within roughly seven days, then allow the cushions about a day to regain their shape before the first guests sit down. > An Afghan-American family in the US wanted a very large majlis with a wooden-bench look for family gatherings. The team measured the room with them on a video call: about 720 in (1830 cm) of seating in total. Two builds were drawn with a table set, full sponge or MDF wood plus sponge, and the family settled close to the full-sponge option, partly with future orders from relatives in mind. The set shipped in seven packages that arrived at different times. During setup one area seemed to have nothing to fill it, so the team sent the layout plan again and arranged a video call to show where each piece belonged. ## Can the gray and gold be changed for another hall? The hall in the photos pairs gray seats with gold-toned backrests and champagne pillows, and the same layout can be made in beige, slate blue or any numbered shade from the color card. Lighter rooms are gathered among our beige and sand majlis designs, and a related long-hall set is the [beige royal Yemeni seating](https://orientalsofa.com/urun/beige-royal-yemeni-seating-long-halls/). Many families begin planning a hall jalsah well before Ramadan or the wedding season, because the drawing, the fabric and the making each take their turn. Production time depends on your layout and the season — ask us for the current schedule. Progress photos follow while the covers are sewn. Custom orders are photographed and filmed for your approval before they ship. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can the hall jalsah leave an opening for a door or a TV wall? The seating stops wherever your drawing says, so a door, a TV wall or a passage simply becomes a gap between two runs, each ending with an armrest. Mark those openings on your sketch, measured from the closest corner. ### Can a large gathering be seated across two rooms instead of one long hall? Two rooms can each get their own layout and drawing, which is often easier to live with than one very long run. Send the walls of both rooms together, and the team plans the seat pieces and armrests for each. ### Can the gray jalsah be made low for floor-style gatherings? It can sit at 4 in (10 cm) or 8 in (20 cm) as all-foam seating, the low line many families keep for big gatherings, or at about 16 in (40 cm), close to ordinary sofa height, for guests who prefer to sit higher. ## Related pages - [How to Measure a Room for a Majlis, Wall by Wall](https://orientalsofa.com/guides/how-to-measure-for-a-majlis/) - [Plan your majlis from your wall measurements](https://orientalsofa.com/tools/majlis-planner/) - [Cream Jalsah with Glass Table](https://orientalsofa.com/urun/cream-arabic-jalsah-four-seating-zones/)
