The quick answer

Yes, a custom fabric or size adds time to a modular floor sofa. The corduroy colors shown on the listing are the quickest to make and ship, while any other fabric from the full chart takes longer, a sold-out fabric has to be woven again, and a custom size adds production days. Ask the workshop for dates in writing before you order.

Your fabric-and-size clock

  • Corduroy color shown on the listing: the quickest to make and ship.
  • Any other full-chart fabric, patterns included: longer.
  • H11 light-blue cotton-linen blend: the longest so far.
  • Fabric sold out and rewoven: add the reweave time.
  • Custom sofa size: adds production days.

Why the fabric choice sets the sofa's calendar

Pull up a chair. When a family picks a sofa, the fabric talk runs long and the calendar talk runs short, and that is backwards. Stay with the corduroy colors shown on the listing and your modular floor sofa is the quickest to make and ship. Step off that shelf and the calendar stretches; a sold-out fabric even has to be woven again.

None of that is a reason to settle. Any fabric on the full chart can be used, patterns too. Just plan for it, ask for the dates, and write a custom size straight into the order note; no separate message needed. The modular floor sofa layouts Pattern helps you settle the size first, and the personalization note Pattern shows how to word it.

What date are you counting back from, neighbor?

Before you place the order

  • Look at the customer photos in the listing reviews to see a color in real homes.
  • Ask whether your fabric is in stock; a rewoven one adds time.
  • Write your custom size in the order note.
  • Name your deadline before ordering, not after.

Corduroy colors shown on the modular sofa listing are the quickest; any other full-chart fabric takes longer, so ask for the date.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Can I get the modular sofa in a patterned fabric, and does that take longer?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes, any fabric from the full chart works, but production then takes longer, so ask for the date. The corduroy colors on the sofa listing are the quickest, and the customer photos in the listing reviews show colors in real homes.

  2. A common question

    How much longer for a fabric that isn't standard for this sofa?

    The workshop's answer

    Standard fabrics are the quickest. Others take longer, and some, like the H11 light-blue cotton-linen blend, longer still. If a fabric sells out and has to be woven again, add the reweave time; the workshop gives the current timeline with the quote.

  3. A common question

    How much time does a custom size add, and where do I write it?

    The workshop's answer

    Some extra production time, so ask the workshop for the new date. Simply put the custom size in the order note.

  4. A common question

    Can I pay to rush my order?

    The workshop's answer

    Often, yes. Rush orders have been handled with a separate express fee listing, and the workshop confirms the dispatch date and delivery window for your order before you pay.

Questions buyers ask next

Can the workshop promise my floor sofa by a set date?

Not with certainty. The workshop has prioritized orders and shipped them on an agreed day, but carriers can still run late. Tell it your deadline before ordering and it will say whether the date is realistic.

How long is delivery once the sofa has shipped?

Ask the workshop for the express delivery time to the US after dispatch. Add that to the production time for your fabric and size, leave a margin, and you have a fair picture of when the sofa reaches your living room.

Are event dates a few weeks away realistic for a custom sofa?

Often worth asking, if you order right away and write the deadline in the order note. The order can be flagged urgent and shipped express, but last-minute holiday deadlines may not be possible, so get the workshop's answer before you order.
