Can I buy the floor sofa's metal support bars separately?

Also asked as:Could I purchase just 2 bars?How tall are the bars?

Metal bars are the quiet backbone of a floor sofa, like a porch rail nobody notices until it's gone. Here's how the workshop sells them when you need a fresh set.

The quick answer

Yes, floor sofa metal support bars are sold separately, but only as a complete set of 4: one bar for each side and two for the back, each 20 in (51 cm) high. Single loose bars aren't sold. A set can ship on its own, and bars can be added to a covers-only order for a small extra.

Fabric
The cover cloth: weave, color and care code.

What comes in one set of floor sofa bars

  • 4 bars, always together: one for each side and two for the back.
  • 20 in (51 cm) tall, standing behind the softer backrests to hold them upright. The metal support bars entry shows the idea.
  • Shipped on their own when the frame is all you need.
  • Priced as a set, so if you need several, say how many up front and the quote covers them all.

What the workshop won't split up

  • Two bars on their own. A buyer asked for just 2; the answer is the full set of 4.
  • One loose side bar or one back bar. Single bars aren't sold.
  • An older answer. Early replies disagreed, and the set of 4 at 20 in high is the current one.

Tired bars, good cushions

A buyer in the US wrote that the old bars had tarnished while the cushions still had years left in them. That's a sofa worth keeping, and the fix is one set of 4, shipped by itself.

If you're re-covering at the same time, order the bars with the covers and save yourself a second parcel. The replacement covers pattern covers the fit, and support bar assembly shows which bar goes where. The whole family lives under modular floor sofas. How many sofas are you outfitting, neighbor?

When you order floor sofa covers only, add the metal bar set to the same order for a small extra rather than buying the frame separately later.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Can I buy the metal support bars separately, and what's included?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes, but only as a set of four: one for each side and two for the back, each 20 in (51 cm) high. In one exchange the set price came down after some back-and-forth; if you need several sets, say how many in your first message.

  2. A common question

    Can I buy just the metal bars for my floor sofa?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. A complete set is sold on its own and ships by itself. A set has 4 bars, 2 for the sides and 2 for the back; single loose bars aren't sold.

  3. A common question

    If I buy only the covers, can I get the bars too?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Bars can be added to a covers-only order for a small extra.

  4. A common question

    Why is the floor sofa listing price so low? Is that the whole sofa?

    The workshop's answer

    No. The low prices are single pieces, such as one backrest, or the fabric sample option. Pick the full sofa variation to see its real price.

Questions buyers ask next

How tall are replacement bars for a floor sofa backrest?

The current set uses bars 20 in (51 cm) high for both sides and the back. If your older sofa's bars look different, send a photo with a tape measure before ordering so the new set suits it.

How do I price new covers for a floor sofa I already own?

Use the cover-only listing: pick each piece's size range and the price appears, then add exact sizes, fabric and piping codes in the personalization box. A cover on its own has cost less than a new cushion with foam, so keep the foam if it still springs back.

Is there a discount on several sets of bars?

It's worth asking. One buyer negotiated the price down even on a single set, so say how many sets you need in your first message and the quote will show what several cost.
