We reserve the right to make partial deliveries. Delays in completing an order should not be grounds for withholding payments of partial deliveries already made. Balance not delivered, in production, at works or delayed due to circumstances beyond our control cannot be cancelled unless this cancellation is accepted in writing by us.

Furthermore, we cannot accept ‘unexamined’ signatures nor claims for damage whatsoever after delivery. We strictly do not accept any queries outside of a 48 hour period on receipt of delivery.
General: Sometimes the only proof that an item is genuine are the natural imperfections themselves. We feel our obligation to the customer is to produce furniture within quality standards commensurate with price. We are constantly striving to provide the best quality possible for the price, but ultimate perfection is not practical because it would make the cost prohibitive.
