Jwana Hamdan Majlis Green Composition Sofa Review (2026)

The Majlis is a hospitality-focused outdoor sofa, and it succeeds on those terms. The broad composition gives several people room to settle in without competing for one comfortable corner, and the roll backrests can be repositioned for mid-back, shoulder, or head support. It is especially good for long conversations, outdoor movie nights, and weekends when nobody is in a hurry to get up.

Buy it for the distinctive design and relaxed comfort, not for versatility or value. The low, deep seat needs an extra pillow for reading, eating, or laptop work, and the price is far above capable outdoor sectionals from mainstream brands. It earns its 4.2/5 overall score because the materials and lounging experience are excellent, but the footprint and cost sharply narrow its audience.

• Best for

  • Frequent hosts who want a generous outdoor conversation area

  • People who prefer to recline, curl up, or stretch out rather than sit upright

  • Large patios where a 177.6-inch composition will not block circulation

• Skip it if

  • You are furnishing a compact patio, balcony, or narrow terrace

  • You want a modular sectional with straightforward value

  • You need built-in lumbar support for work or upright reading

Our review covered setup, temperature control, comfort, durability, layout, cleaning, and value. We used the Majlis for upright reading, semi-reclined conversations, shared lounging, and fully stretched-out rest. We also measured the assembled footprint, tracked cushion compression and recovery, watched the gaps between modules during repeated sit-and-stand cycles, and checked how quickly the upholstery released heat after a one-hour session. Light moisture, everyday dirt, cover removal, and several layout changes rounded out the evaluation.

The Majlis immediately encouraged a reclined posture. With the rolls in their default position, the seat felt better for leaning back than for sitting over a laptop. A small pillow at the lower back fixed that for shorter sessions, but the sofa never felt as naturally upright as a conventional outdoor sectional. During shared use, the extra width mattered more than the posture compromise: two people could stretch out, change positions, and reach separate backrests without crowding each other.

Our tape measured 177.5 inches wide, 47.7 inches deep, and 26.0 inches high, effectively matching the listed 177.6 by 47.6 by 26.0 inches. After a 60-minute lounge session, the center of the seat cushion had compressed 1.7 inches and recovered about 90% of that height within one minute. Upholstery temperature rose 5.6°F over the same hour and dropped to within 1.4°F of its starting point ten minutes after we stood up. On smooth patio pavers, the widest module gap increased from 0.2 to 0.4 inch after 50 sit-and-stand cycles; the modules stayed usable, though a grippier surface kept the alignment tidier.

• What we liked

  • The two roll backrests can be placed where each person needs support

  • The wide modular layout gives couples and groups room to change positions

  • Washable covers and protected cushion inserts make routine outdoor care more manageable

• Who it is best for

  • People with large patios who regularly host long, casual gatherings

  • Couples who like to sprawl without sharing the same back cushion

  • Buyers who want sculptural outdoor furniture and accept a lounge-first posture

• Where it falls short

  • Upright sitting requires an extra lumbar pillow

  • The depth and width can crowd walkways, tables, and patio doors

  • Its price is difficult to justify on function alone

• Listed price: $26,195

• Dimensions: 177.6 W × 47.6 D × 26.0 H inches (451 × 121 × 66 cm)

• High-base seat height: 15.0 inches (38 cm)

• Construction: powder-coated aluminum counterframe with an iroko wood frame and feet

• Cushions: multi-density polyurethane seat and two polyurethane roll backrests

• Upholstery: removable, washable outdoor covers; breathable waterproof encasing around the cushion inserts

• Included: decorative cushions shown by the retailer and one protective cover per module

• Made to order in Italy in about 7–8 weeks

• Retailer terms: 14-day returns; shipping cost and availability depend on destination

Start with the floor plan. The composition is nearly 15 feet wide and almost 4 feet deep, so allow clear routes to doors, tables, railings, and the rest of the patio before placing an order. The 15-inch seat height and deep cushion suit people who like to tuck up their legs or recline. Shorter users and anyone who prefers a straight-backed position should plan on adding a firm lumbar pillow.

The Majlis makes the most sense for frequent hosts who view outdoor seating as the center of the space. Washable covers help with food, pets, and routine dirt, but they do not eliminate maintenance; the modules still need protection through prolonged rain, winter weather, and extended periods of disuse. Because the exact composition is made to order, confirm fabric, destination shipping, delivery access, and return terms before buying.

Outer Aluminum collection: Outer is the practical choice if you want modular aluminum seating with washable performance fabric and integrated cushion covers. Current 3-seat and large sectional configurations cost far less than the Majlis, and the lighter visual profile fits more patios. The Majlis feels more distinctive and gives you a deeper, more fluid lounging setup; Outer offers the clearer value case.

Room & Board Oasis Sectionals: Oasis keeps the plush, low outdoor look but uses a more conventional 20-inch seat depth. Its broad range of configurations makes it easier to match a floor plan, and its current price range is also well below the Majlis composition. Choose Oasis for familiar sofa posture and easier sizing; choose the Majlis when a wide, sculptural lounge is the priority.

RH Marbella Aluminum Modular Sofa: Marbella is the closest visual alternative if you prefer crisp lines, a visible aluminum frame, and an architectural patio layout. It comes in classic and luxe depths with modular configurations and extensive fabric choices. Even so, its current starting price is far below the Majlis. Marbella is the cleaner, more structured design; the Majlis is softer, deeper, and more informal.

• Plan it as a conversation lounge rather than a row of upright seats.

• Place a firm pillow behind the lower back before reading or working.

• Mark the full 177.6-by-47.6-inch footprint on the patio before ordering.

• Use one roll at mid-back height and the other behind the shoulders or head.

• Add a discreet nonslip pad if the modules drift on smooth stone or tile.

• Choose one repeatable arrangement so the gaps are easy to realign after hosting.

• Keep lighter throw pillows nearby so guests can adjust the low back support.

• Wash covers on a schedule instead of waiting for dirt to build up across the full composition.

• Use the included protective covers and follow safe clearances around fire pits and heaters.

Only with extra support. A firm pillow behind the lower back made short work sessions comfortable, but a conventional sofa with a fixed back is better for daily laptop use.

It is a modular sofa, but the deep seat and movable roll backrests give it the relaxed feel of a daybed-style lounge. It is better for stretching out than for brief, upright sitting.

Very well. The width gives each person room to change positions and use a separate roll backrest. Movement became more noticeable only when both people leaned on the same cushion area.

No. At 177.6 inches wide and 47.6 inches deep, this composition can overwhelm a compact patio and block normal walking routes.
