Orders generally take between 6 and 8 weeks to be completed, but as we are small business and these are all hand-made items this is only a guide. We cannot be be held responsible for circumstances beyond our control which may lead to a longer lead time. We will always keep you informed if there are any delays with your order.

We allow a cancellation period of 7 days from the day you place an order. If you cancel during this period you will receive a full refund of all monies paid, refunds will be made within 14 days of cancellation, which must be made in writing.

Manufacturing and the timber we use

some of our furniture is made from a rustic reclaim wood . As such the timber is used, so it will have marks, cracks, dents and scars on it. The wood may have splits and knots as well as marks from rust or paint, or holes, stains and saw marks. This reclaimed timber may not always be entirely flat, it may be bowed and slightly uneven. We sand the timber make it suitable for use but it will still retain much of this character. The colour of the timber we use may vary too. Our website shows images of our finished products which give a good representation of the natural finished colour, but there may be variances and some of the boards we use are lighter and some, darker.

please remeber you are buying a timber product which is handmade and a nutural product

in some cases we may use a veneer product or moisture board to aide the integratory of the structure.

When the furniture arrives the changes in environment may causes changes in the wood. This is the case with all wooden products. The furniture is manufactured to allow for such movement but will it not stop it altogether. In particular, centrally heated homes, underfloor heating, radiators and exposure to directly sunlight will cause this movement. Cracks, shakes and splits may open up and warps may occur. This is simply a natural occurrence with wooden products and we cannot accept returns or refunds on the basis of these changes.

Delivery

The vast majority of our deliveries will be carried out by our in-staff delivery team. As often as possible we aim to do free assembly and set up.

Please inform us if there are issues with regards to parking around the property and if the property is a new build, as we will require the nearest postcode or landmark.

On rare occasions, deliveries may be carried out by independent companies/carriers. Therefore, although we can offer guidance and communication to these supplier/carriers, specific days and times may be outside of our control and delays, though rare, are sometimes unavoidable.

Delivery timescales will depend on the goods ordered and will be advised on each individual order. 

When you receive furniture, please inspect it carefully as we cannot accept responsibility for any loss or damage once our courier has delivered.

Returns

As all our furniture is bespoke, and made to order, it is not eligible for return or a refund unless there is a manufacturing fault beyond the natural changes which occur in natural wooden products (as described above).
