Five to seven cushions on a 5-seater majlis reads intentional; eight or more looks like a cushion store. Stick to two sizes: 45cm square for back support and 35cm lumbar rectangles for the seat front. Choose one anchor fabric (cream linen), one pattern (muted botanical or geometric), and one accent (sage or terracotta velvet). Rotate cushions weekly so the majlis wears evenly in Singapore's 80% average humidity.
Measure each module against the lift and corridor before the delivery team uncrates; refused pieces stay undamaged. Check for corner dents, lacquer swirls, and marble hairline cracks with a phone torch. Photograph any issue within 48 hours for warranty claims. Confirm the cleaning instruction card is inside the crate, MIDHILL includes a printed guide with every Foshan shipment. Sign the delivery note only after every piece passes your inspection.
Most quality majlis sets use bolt-connected modules, so you can reconfigure from L-shape to U-shape, two-seater-plus-chair, or chaise-and-sofa within 20 minutes using the hex key shipped with the order. Each module weighs 25-40kg, manageable for two people in a HDB corridor. Keep the original crate for at least 60 days in case you change your mind; reconfiguring voids the surface warranty only if bolts are over-tightened.
