Delivery:
We will contact you approximately one week prior to furniture being delivered to us and arrange a mutually convenient date for delivery/collection. Every effort will be made to deliver your goods on time, however under no circumstances will refunds be given if delays beyond our control are incurred.

Fitting:
Fitting costs in instances where sub contractors e.g. decorators, electricians etc., are required, these are payable in accordance with those terms agreed between you and the contractor. The contractor will provide you with an independent quotation for the work and subsequently contract directly with you to execute it. This is standard practice and in accordance with other services such as decorator, electricians etc., who are also solely responsible for their work. Any issues arising from this work should be raised directly with the contractor.

Storage:
Once furniture arrives on our premises it should be collected or delivered (either by driver or yourselves) on a mutually convenient date within a two week period. However, if you are unable to take delivery for any reason within this two week period then we reserve the right to charge storage fees. We reserve the right to charge storage fees in relation to goods not collected.

Specification and Colour:
All images shown on our website and company literature are for guidance only and exact shades of wood, fabrics and other natural products cannot be guaranteed.

All fabrics are susceptible to fading if exposed to strong or natural light for prolonged periods. Silk, by its nature, is particularly susceptible and will fade if exposed to strong direct natural or artificial light for prolonged periods and therefore light proof linings should be requested.

We would also draw your attention to the fact that where fabrics are subject to variations in atmospheric conditions, shrinkage and/or dropping may occur in situ for which we cannot be held responsible.
