The base of the sofa has a two-tiered look under the seat of the sofa. The front corners where the arms meet the seat have a long wood and braided tassel of blue and white material to match the sofa (see tassels described in MP.94.1014.) The sofa has no feet or legs, it rests on casters, one on each corner.
