The bars come one way, and there's a gentle fix if the shine bothers you.* Also asked as: Can you make the chrome bar black?; Anything more matte than chrome? > **The quick answer:** No, the teddy floor sofa's metal bars come only in polished stainless steel, a chrome silver finish; black, gold, bronze and matte aren't offered. For a softer, less shiny look, the workshop can cover the bars in the sofa's own fabric. An earlier bar version that peeled was replaced by new one-piece bars. ![Cream velvet floor sofa with teal ends in a bright flat with an oak bookcase, monstera plant and low coffee table](https://cushionguide.com/media/modular-floor-sofas/teal-velvet-floor-sofa-bookcase-monstera-1600.webp "Teal velvet ends set against a full bookcase and a monstera in a bright European apartment.") ## Key facts - The floor sofa's bars come only in polished stainless steel, a chrome (silver) finish. - Black, gold, bronze and matte bars aren't available. - The workshop can cover the metal bars in the sofa's fabric for a less shiny look. - An earlier bar version had a peeling problem and was replaced by new one-piece bars. - The workshop promises support if bar problems come back. - Product photos were updated after a buyer said the bars looked different from the pictures. - The bars are steel tube about 0.6 in (16 mm) in diameter. - The bars travel in their own small box, about 16 x 16 x 2 in (40 x 40 x 5 cm) and about 9 lb (4 kg). ## Bar finishes buyers asked for | Finish | Available? | Instead | |---|---|---| | Polished chrome (silver) | [yes] The only finish | — | | Black | [no] | Bars covered in the sofa fabric | | Gold or bronze | [no] | Bars covered in the sofa fabric | | Matte | [no] | Fabric covering takes the shine away | ## Why chrome is the only finish Wanting teddy sofa black metal bars is a fair wish; a dark frame under cream velvet looks sharp. But there are no color options for the metal parts. The bars are polished stainless steel, and that's that. One product description once said matte black powder coat. It was wrong. A buyer noticed, got a partial refund, and the photos were updated. I'd rather tell you that story myself. Peeling came up with an earlier bar version. It was replaced by new one-piece bars, and the workshop has promised support if the problem ever comes back. ## The fabric sleeve fix If it's the shine that bothers you, the workshop has offered to cover the bars in the sofa's own fabric. Chrome disappears, the frame reads soft, and a [modular floor sofa](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/modular-floor-sofas/) in [teddy or bouclé](https://cushionguide.com/fabrics/boucle-and-teddy/) looks all of a piece. Is it the shine you mind, or the silver? Answer that before you order. The [support bars pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/floor-sofa-support-bars-assembly/) shows how the frame goes together. > **Tailor's margin:** Teddy floor sofa bars come only in polished chrome silver. If the shine fights your room, ask for the bars covered in the sofa's own fabric. > No black, gold, bronze or matte: the teddy floor sofa's metal bars come in one finish, polished stainless steel, and fabric can cover them. > > — Rosa ## Buyer questions **A common question:** Can the chrome bars on the sofa be black? **The workshop's answer:** No. There are no color options for the metal parts, so the bars come only in their original chrome finish. **A common question:** Can I get gold, bronze or matte frame bars instead of shiny chrome? **The workshop's answer:** Bronze and gold bars aren't available; silver is. For a less shiny look, the workshop offered to cover the metal bars in the sofa's fabric. **A common question:** How do the floor sofa's metal bars go together? There were no instructions. **The workshop's answer:** Twist and push each bar until the small spring dots click into place. Loosen a tight joint by clicking it in and out of the corner piece a few times. A setup video is sent on request. ## Questions buyers ask next ### Will the chrome sofa bars peel? An earlier bar version had a peeling problem. It was replaced by new one-piece bars, and the workshop has promised support if the problem comes back, so send photos if you ever see it. ### Do fabric-covered bars match the sofa? They're covered in the sofa's own fabric, so the color matches the cushions. Mention it when you order, since the bars otherwise arrive in polished chrome. ### Does the workshop make bed frames or platforms for the sofa? No. It makes foam cushions, covers and pillows only; benches, platforms, bed frames and rigid headboards aren't made. It can make lift-out foam cushions or removable covers instead. ## Related at the atelier - [My sofa's metal bars arrived bent or peeling.
