The Cutting Table · a question, worked through

Can I buy replacement metal bars for my modular floor sofa?

Yes, with one condition. The follow-ups tend to arrive in the same order every time, so I've kept them that way.

The quick answer

Yes, if you own the sofa: a replacement set of metal bars, 4 per sofa and priced per sofa, is sold to owners through a private link. The bars are not sold on their own for other furniture. If you want only part of a sofa, the seat cushions can be ordered with their metal parts, without the backrest, through a custom link.

I once cut a lovely cushion two inches short, and I have not forgotten it. That is why the workshop goes over your measurements with you on the phone. — Maggie

Leave your details and the workshop will call you to confirm measurements, fabric, foam and piping. No prices, dates or payment on this page: it is a request, not an order.

Fabric · Foam · Pipingwhat the workshop will confirm with you

Fabric
The cover cloth: weave, color and care code.
Foam
The core: its density and thickness set the feel.
Piping
The corded seam edge: matching, contrast or none.
Only for this request: no marketing calls or texts. Outside the US, add the country code.
In inches: length × depth × thickness, plus any angles or cut corners.

* Required. A member of the workshop team will call you to talk it through; nothing is charged and nothing is made until you have agreed on every detail with them.

We use these details only to answer this request and make your cushion: your name and contact details, the cushion details and photos you send, the page you came from and the ad or link that brought you, if any. The workshop that makes the cushions receives them. We don't sell them or share them for advertising, and we delete requests after 24 months. Privacy notice for requests.

“I own the sofa. Can I get another set?”

Right, then: yes. Each floor sofa stands on 4 metal support bars, and owners can buy a replacement set through a private link, priced per sofa rather than per bar. Tell the shop which sofa you have, and the link follows.

That covers the bar that bent in a move, or the set that went missing when a box wandered off. If you are re-covering at the same time, the floor sofa replacement covers Pattern walks through fit.

“Can I buy just the bars for another piece of furniture?”

No, dear. The bars are not sold as a standalone product for other furniture. They come in standard sizes, in silver chrome only, and they go out with a modular floor sofa or to someone who already owns one. Bars can also ride along on a covers-only order, which is the one exception people tend to miss.

“What if I only want part of the sofa?”

That has an answer too. The shop can sell the seat cushions with their metal parts and leave the backrest out, through a custom link. It suits anyone replacing seats while keeping backs that are still perfectly good. Which part of your sofa actually needs replacing?

Before you pay for a new set

  • Check every tracking number: the bars travel in a small box of their own.
  • Parcels from one order can arrive on different days, so give the last one time.
  • Truly missing? Tell the shop with a photo of what arrived, and ask what it will send.
  • Bent or damaged on arrival? Send a photo; replacement bars have been sent.
  • Want a spare set on purpose? Ask for the owner's private link.

Floor sofa metal bars are sold to sofa owners as a set of 4, priced per sofa, and never as a standalone part for other furniture.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    My metal bars never turned up, or I need another set. Can I buy them?

    The workshop's answer

    Owners of the sofa can get a set of bars, priced per sofa, through a private link; each sofa uses 4 bars. The shop doesn't sell the bars on their own for other furniture.

  2. A common question

    Could I buy just part of the sofa, like the seat cushions and frame, or only the bars?

    The workshop's answer

    The seat cushions can be sold with their metal parts, without the backrest, through a custom link. The bars by themselves are not sold separately.

  3. A common question

    Can I buy the metal frame without the sofa?

    The workshop's answer

    Not as a standalone product. Owners can get replacement bars, and bars can be added to a covers-only order. They come in standard sizes and in silver chrome only; ask in messages for a quote.

  4. A common question

    My new bars have spots that look like rust. Do I need replacements?

    The workshop's answer

    Usually not. The workshop says it is oxide residue from production, not rust, and it usually wipes off with a cloth. If it doesn't, or a bar is damaged, send a photo and ask the workshop to confirm in writing what it will send.

Questions buyers ask next

How many metal bars does one floor sofa need?

Four per sofa. That is why the replacement set is priced per sofa rather than per bar. When you ask for the private link, say which sofa you own so the right set is quoted and nothing has to be sent twice.

Can bars be added when I order replacement covers only?

Yes. Bars can be added to a covers-only order, in the standard sizes and silver chrome finish. It is the practical route if you are refreshing the fabric and one of the bars has bent along the way.

Are replacement bars available in any finish besides chrome?

No. The bars come in silver chrome only, in standard sizes. If a finish matters in your room, plan around chrome rather than waiting on another color; the bars sit low and mostly out of sight once the cushions are on.
