The follow-ups tend to arrive in the same order every time, so I've kept them that way.* Also asked as: The metal bars never showed up at my door.; Can I order another set of the metal bars? > **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. ![Rust orange and cream velvet floor sofa on a jute rug, with pampas on a rattan table, wicker baskets and stacked books](https://cushionguide.com/media/modular-floor-sofas/rust-cream-floor-sofa-boho-corner-rattan-table-1600.webp "Rust velvet ends pick up the jute rug, rattan table and baskets around this floor-level sofa.") ## Key facts - Each floor sofa uses 4 metal bars. - Bar sets are sold to sofa owners through a private link, priced per sofa. - Metal bars are not sold as a standalone product for other furniture. - Seat cushions plus metal parts can be ordered without the backrest through a custom link. - Bars come in standard sizes and in silver chrome only. - Before buying a set, report bars missing from a delivery to the workshop with a photo of what arrived. - Each bar is steel tube about ⅝ in (16 mm) in diameter, in a silver/chrome finish. - Bars ship in their own box of about 16 x 16 x 2 in, weighing about 9 lb. - The L-shaped backrests the bars hold measure about 39 x 39 x 15 in. ## “I own the sofa. Can I get another set?” Right, then: yes. Each floor sofa stands on 4 [metal support bars](https://cushionguide.com/glossary/#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](https://cushionguide.com/guides/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](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/modular-floor-sofas/) 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. > **Tailor's margin:** A modular floor sofa uses 4 metal bars; owners can buy a replacement set by private link, but the bars aren't sold alone for other furniture. > 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. > > — Maggie ## Buyer questions **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. **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. **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. **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. ## Related at the atelier - [Can I buy the metal support bars for my floor sofa separately?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/floor-sofa-metal-support-bars-sold-separately/): Usually yes: spare metal support bars have their own listing, or the workshop sends a custom purchase link, normally for a set of 4 (one for each side of the sofa), and pairs of 2 are possible too. - [Can I extend my floor sofa into an L-shape or buy extra backrests later?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/extend-modular-floor-sofa-l-shape/): A modular floor sofa can be extended into an L-shaped corner couch later by ordering the same sofa again in the same color. - [Can I buy the floor sofa's metal support bars separately?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/floor-sofa-metal-support-bars-separately/): 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. - [Modular Floor Sofa Corner in Light Gray Tufted Modules](https://cushionguide.com/readings/light-gray-tufted-floor-sofa-corner-modules/): A modular floor sofa suits long sitting when every piece stays loose and the modules stay put. - [Modular Floor Sofa From Above: What to Measure First](https://cushionguide.com/readings/mustard-velvet-floor-sofa-overhead-mediterranean/): Measure for a modular floor sofa by its footprint on the floor, not by seat height. - [Can you sleep on a floor sofa?
