Complete Product Specifications

What You Get With the Davara Hand Carved Grey Sofa

1. Hand-Carved Solid Mango Wood Frame — Every single curve and detail is carved by hand using traditional Indian woodworking techniques, meaning no two sofas are identical. The wood's natural characteristics like grain patterns, small knots, and subtle color variations make your piece genuinely unique in a world of cookie-cutter furniture.
2. Water-Resistant Whitewash Finish — The lacquer-sealed whitewash coating protects the mango wood from spills and humidity while maintaining that weathered, organic look. This isn't just aesthetic — it's practical protection that extends the life of your investment significantly compared to untreated wood.
3. Thick Firm Foam Cushioning — Dense foam core provides structured support that won't collapse into a saggy mess after a year like cheaper furniture. The clean-line upholstery fits snugly over this firm base, creating seating that actually supports your back properly during movie marathons.
4. Traditional Nail Head Trim Details — Hand-applied brass nail heads along the upholstery edges add authentic craftsmanship detail you simply can't get from machine production. Each nail is individually placed, creating subtle irregularities that prove this piece was made by human hands, not robots.
5. Tongue and Groove Joint Construction — Traditional joinery methods mean this frame is built to last decades, not just until your next move. These interlocking wood joints distribute weight and stress naturally, creating furniture that gets stronger and more character-rich with age.
6. 73-Inch Width for Real Three-Person Seating — Unlike sofas that claim three-person capacity but force everyone to squeeze together, this provides genuine space for three adults to sit comfortably without touching shoulders. Each person gets approximately 24 inches of seating width.
7. Ball Feet Design — The carved ball feet lift the sofa 4 inches off the floor, making it easier to vacuum underneath while adding visual lightness to the substantial wood frame. This classic detail connects to centuries-old furniture design traditions.
8. Sustainable Mango Wood Construction — Mango wood comes from fruit trees at the end of their productive life, making this an eco-conscious choice that gives discarded trees a second life as beautiful furniture instead of ending up in landfills.

Will the Davara Fit in My Living Room?

At 73 inches wide, this sofa needs at least an 11-foot wall to look proportional — you want your sofa taking up no more than two-thirds of the wall length. The 31-inch depth means you'll need at least 7 feet of room depth for comfortable traffic flow around the back. For a room that feels balanced, aim for a minimum 12×14 foot space, though it can work in smaller rooms if positioned as the focal point.

Your area rug should measure at least 8×10 feet to properly anchor this sofa, with the front legs sitting on the rug and back legs off. Coffee table distance should be 14-18 inches from the front edge — any closer feels cramped, any further requires stretching to reach drinks. The 30-inch height works well with 16-19 inch coffee table heights for comfortable surface access.

What Materials Actually Make Up This Sofa?

The frame is 100% solid mango wood — not veneer over particleboard like many "wood" sofas. Mango wood is naturally dense and durable, with a straight grain that takes carving beautifully. The whitewash finish is applied by hand, then sealed with water-resistant lacquer for protection against spills and humidity.

Upholstery is poly-cotton blend fabric in warm grey that coordinates with both neutral and colorful room schemes. The thick firm foam cushioning maintains its shape and support over years of use — no cheap foam that flattens out after six months. This is classic Boho-Farmhouse style that bridges rustic and refined aesthetics naturally.

How Do I Care for This Hand-Carved Wood and Fabric?

Dust the carved wood details weekly with a soft cloth to prevent buildup in the intricate patterns. The water-resistant finish handles light spills, but wipe them immediately to prevent staining. For deeper cleaning, use slightly damp cloth followed by immediate drying — never soak the wood.

The poly-cotton upholstery spot-cleans with mild detergent and water for most stains. Vacuum the fabric monthly using the upholstery attachment to remove dust and pet hair from the weave. Professional cleaning every 12-18 months keeps the fabric looking fresh, especially in homes with pets or heavy use. The nail head trim just needs occasional dusting — the brass holds its shine naturally.

How Long Before This Sofa Arrives?

Since each Davara sofa is hand-carved to order in India, expect 10-12 weeks from purchase to delivery. This isn't warehouse furniture sitting ready to ship — your piece begins production after you order. White glove delivery typically adds another 1-2 weeks for scheduling once it reaches the US.

The extended timeline reflects the authentic craftsmanship involved. Each sofa requires approximately 40 hours of hand-carving and finishing work. While you're waiting longer than for mass-produced furniture, you're getting a genuine artisan piece that will outlast quick-ship alternatives by decades.

How Should I Style This Boho-Farmhouse Sofa?

The whitewashed mango wood pairs beautifully with other natural materials — consider jute or natural fiber area rugs in earthy tones. The grey upholstery works as a neutral base for colorful throw pillows in terracotta, sage green, or warm mustard yellow.

For coffee tables, choose pieces with similar organic character — reclaimed wood, natural stone, or woven materials work well. Accent chairs in complementary fabrics or natural wicker add texture variation. Floor lamps with linen or burlap shades enhance the relaxed, collected-over-time aesthetic this sofa embodies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this sofa suitable for households with pets and children?

The poly-cotton fabric is more durable than pure cotton and spot-cleans well for most accidents. The firm foam cushioning resists permanent impressions from pets lounging. However, the hand-carved wood details require gentle care, so homes with very active pets or small children might consider protective throws during heavy use periods.

Does this sofa require assembly?

Minimal assembly is required — typically just attaching the ball feet to the frame, which takes approximately 15-20 minutes with basic tools. The carved frame, upholstery, and cushioning arrive fully assembled. Clear instructions and all necessary hardware are included.

Can I get trade pricing on this sofa?

Yes, interior designers, architects, and other trade professionals qualify for special pricing through the LOOMLAN Trade Program. Application approval typically takes 24-48 hours with proper credentials.

What's the return policy if this doesn't work in my space?

LOOMLAN offers a 30-day return policy for most furniture, though custom-ordered pieces like the hand-carved Davara may have different terms. Review the complete policy at Returns & Exchanges before ordering.

Will this sofa fit through standard doorways?

At 31 inches deep and 30 inches high, the Davara should fit through most standard doorways when turned on its side. However, measure your specific entry path including stairs, hallways, and turns before ordering. The solid wood construction means it cannot be disassembled for tight spaces.

Why does each sofa look slightly different in photos?

Since each piece is hand-carved from natural mango wood, no two sofas are identical. Grain patterns, wood knots, and subtle color variations are inherent characteristics of authentic wood furniture. These natural differences add to the unique character rather than being defects.
