The most common mistake in a majlis is buying to fill the walls rather than to fit the people. Here is the method our designers use before quoting any set.

Start with the walking line

Leave 90 cm of clear floor between opposite seating runs. Anything less and guests brush knees as they pass; much more and conversation across the room starts to feel shouted.
