We don’t operate on a ‘sale or return’ model. If you or your customers reconsider the purchase, we won’t facilitate returns since we don’t bear responsibility for change of mind. Those using our Retail service should be well-versed with their legal duties before ordering from us. The responsibility to accept the product, including any failed or redirected deliveries, rests with the account holder. If a product is returned to the Company, it’s deemed as ‘unusable’ and only holds a minimal residual value.

Once a bespoke product is in production or in transit, we don’t entertain cancellations, refunds, or replacements. However, if the item is delivered damaged, and upon providing adequate proof of the damage, we’ll organise a pick-up and offer a replacement or refund.

Executed back orders are handled like regular orders. Hence, our standard procedures and return policies apply.

All our products are individually handcrafted. Most items are made from solid wood, leading to natural variations in size, color, finish, texture, grain patterns, knots, and wood movement. It’s crucial for customers to understand the unique nature of our hand-made wood products to prevent any future dissatisfaction. We won’t classify the following natural variations as defects:

  • Variations in wood shades or finishes.
  • Minor design deviations from images, e.g., carvings not matching the displayed image.
  • Small filler marks, provided they don’t dominate the item.
  • Dimensional discrepancies within acceptable limits, including shelf positioning, overall size, etc.
  • Two items not being identical. For exact matches, customers should opt for ‘bespoke’ orders.
  • Fabric patterns not aligning with images or fabric colors differing due to computer display variations.
  • Gaps around drawers and doors for temperature adjustments.

Minor imperfections in painted or screen-printed items, as they’re hand-made and not machine-produced.

Batch-to-batch variations might occur. If you’re aiming for consistent room settings, consider a bespoke order or be informed about potential differences. We won’t categorize the aforementioned variations as defects since they’re inherent to the product.
