We deliver Arabic floor sofas to any street address in Texas by UPS Express in 4 to 5 business days, with US import duties and taxes already paid, so nothing is due at your door. It is not only the big cities: if UPS delivers to your address, so do we, from Houston and Dallas to the smallest town in West Texas or the Hill Country, with the same delivery time and the same price. Below: which layout suits a Texas home, what to do when the room is bigger than a standard set, and how to handle the heat and tile floors.
How long does delivery to Texas take?
| Area | Delivery time | At your door |
|---|---|---|
| Houston, Katy, Sugar Land | 4–5 business days | $0 |
| Dallas–Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco | 4–5 business days | $0 |
| Austin and surrounding towns | 4–5 business days | $0 |
| San Antonio, El Paso | 4–5 business days | $0 |
| Small towns, ranches, and rural routes | 4–5 business days | $0 |
The delivery time is the same across the US. If you ask for a change after ordering, such as a different color or an extra piece, that order takes longer. UPS does not deliver on major US holidays, so a holiday adds a day. More in our shipping guide.
Which layout fits a Texas home?
Many Texas suburban homes have a formal living room, a family room, and an upstairs game room. That gives you more than one place to set up a majlis.
| Room | Our suggestion | Footprint |
|---|---|---|
| Formal living room you rarely use | U-shaped set, turned into a guest majlis | 130 x 75 in |
| Family room, open plan | L-shaped set along two walls | 102 x 75 in |
| Upstairs game room | L-shaped or U-shaped; pieces carry up stairs one at a time | 102 or 130 x 75 in |
| Apartment in Austin, Dallas, or Houston | Loveseat or loveseat set | 75 x 27.5 in |
Measure the walls first; our measuring guide walks through it. For the choice between the two big layouts, see L vs U.
What if your room is bigger than a U?
A standard U covers 130 x 75 inches. Many Texas formal living rooms and game rooms have walls of 15 to 20 feet, which leaves empty floor at the ends. In that case we make the set to your room: longer or extra bases, seating on three or four walls, or two runs broken by a fireplace or a doorway. The base depth stays at 27.5 inches so the backrests and armrests fit.
- Measure each wall at floor level and mark doors, vents, and the fireplace.
- Send the numbers and a photo through the custom order page.
- We send back a layout and the full price, with shipping and import duties, before you pay anything.
Custom sets take longer to prepare than standard ones; we confirm the date with the quote. More in custom-size majlis.
How do you handle Texas heat and sun?
- Keep the set out of strong afternoon sun. West-facing windows in a Texas summer fade any fabric over time. A sheer curtain or blinds during the hottest hours protect the colors.
- Keep it indoors. A covered patio works for an evening, but bring the pieces inside afterward. See outdoor majlis.
- In humid areas like Houston, dry covers completely before refitting them after a wash. Covers unzip and machine wash at 30°C (86°F).
Does it work on tile and wood-look floors?
Yes. Tile and wood-look vinyl are common in Texas homes because they stay cool. Bare tile can let the bases slide a little when people sit down, so put a rug underneath. Our sets with a rug include a 47 x 71 in matching rug; for a U or a larger room, add a bigger plain rug below it. More in floor sofas on hardwood, tile, and carpet.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have a showroom in Texas?
No. We sell online and ship directly to your home. To see the fabric and feel the foam first, order the Majlis Sample Box ($35, credited on a set of $850 or more).
Do you deliver to small towns in Texas?
Yes. We ship by UPS to every Texas street address, however small the town, in the same 4 to 5 business days as Houston or Dallas.
Will it fit up the stairs to my game room?
Yes. There is no frame. Each base is a separate foam cushion that one person can carry up a staircase.
Can you make one set for my whole formal living room?
Yes. Send the wall lengths and a photo, and we quote a wall-to-wall layout in the colors you choose.
