A. Product Specifications

A.1 All our furniture is made from quality natural wood and accordingly appearances may vary. Some woods will mellow with age and exposure to sunlight. When you are purchasing our furniture you are buying handmade furniture where varying degrees of distressing is generally applied. This is very much intended and makes each piece totally individual as desired by the craftsmen. We sell only genuine rustic designs with varying degrees of distressing from piece to piece; this may involve wood splits, wood filling, knots, purpose distress/scratch marks, antiquing etc. Certain degrees of filler will be used on Indian, sheesham and oak furniture, this is common and very much part of the manufacturing process. Please note that our Indian items are usually of a very rustic nature and a heavy distressing is usually applied, this may appear as a dulling or rubbing effect to the waxed finish, knotty and grainy woods are used, this is as intended by the supplier. Sheesham wood, which is used in the Jali and Cuba Sheesham ranges is characterised by contrasting light and dark wood tones. The variety and patterning of the tones is unique to each piece and this is very much part of the natural appeal of these rustic pieces.

A.2 Leather products are made from quality natural leather and accordingly they may not be uniform in colour or texture. Only the finest hides are selected but they will show natural marks and blemishes on the hide.

A.3 The majority of our products are sold fully assembled, however on occasions certain pieces will need minimal assembly, this has been deemed fit to protect the item in carriage.

A.4 We endeavour to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that appear on the website. However we cannot guarantee the complete accuracy of the pictures or photographs that are shown. Many conditions such as monitor settings and camera lighting can affect the colouring of items in a picture. Similarly natural wood colour can vary from tree to tree and an exact colour match for solid wood products cannot be guaranteed.

F. Returns, Refunds and Your Right to Cancel

F.1 Under the distance seller’s act you have the statutory right to return any products you have purchased within seven (7) working days after delivery for any reason. Products must be kept in the same condition as when purchased and in the same packaging, in which they were delivered, see below for further details. N.B. For hygiene reasons mattresses are not covered by our returns policy.

Please note on rare occasions due to extreme climate changes in shipping you may find slight swelling on doors or drawers thus making them stiff to open, it is important not to return or refuse the item if this is case. Usually this will rectify itself in a matter of 7 days once the timbers adjust to their new environment and heating conditions, you may also find that simply swapping the drawers will remedy this. However on rare occasions the timber movement may not settle and you may need to sand or shave a small amount from a drawer or door, if so please shave from the bottom of the drawer front or from the side of the door as this will not be noticeable with regards to the look of the furniture. A simple touch of furniture wax will then protect any adjustments made. Please could we ask you to bear in mind that you are purchasing natural timber products where slight timber movement in shipping is a slim possibility. Therefore stiff drawers or doors will not be deemed as faulty or defective. This means you are purchasing our furniture on the understanding that any necessary simple adjustments would need to be undertaken by the customer at the customer’s expense. If you do not wish to undertake any adjustments needed and wish to return the item we will of course offer a refund under our full 7 day money back offer. Please take care to research all the above points further with your local specialist as to avoid any disputes after purchase.

F.2  Products may be returned for any reason including if you simply change your mind. In order to return a product, please contact us in writing or other durable medium (including email) within 7 days after delivery. After notifying us we will issue you with a returns number to quote on your paperwork when you return the goods. You will then be entitled to a refund or exchange from us, which will be paid within seven (7) days of us receiving the returned goods and following inspection of the goods by us. Items must be kept in the condition in which they were purchased and in original packaging.  Items requiring assembly must not be assembled in any way or they will not be accepted as a return. We reserve the right to refuse a refund if any item is deemed to be non re-sellable. The cost to return an item is free. For postcodes that carry surcharges, there will be an additional surcharge for returning the goods. please contact us for details. Original delivery charges are not refundable.

F.3 After the (7) day return period has elapsed we will not accept returns on any items purchased unless faulty.

F.4 Subject to your statutory rights, products made or altered specifically for you, may not be returned nor will we provide any refund, unless they are defective or have been accidentally damaged by us in the course of delivery.

F.5 If we deliver incorrect or damaged goods, or in the event that you discover any defect in the goods for which you require compensation or other remedy, you must report the defect within 7 days of the date you receive them, or as soon as possible by emailing us. Any defects or damages must be reported by emailing images/photos of the damage/fault within the 7 working days and before any return, refund or replacement is carried out. Please keep the products purchased in the same condition that they were received and retain the original packaging in the condition it was provided. We reserve the right to refuse return of items should the original packaging not be available to allow the safe return via our carriers.  If we receive the goods back with us and they are damaged due to them not being repackaged sufficiently in their original packaging, we will charge you for the reduction in value.  Should it be deemed impractical to offer a replacement, redelivery or re-selection of any damaged or faulty items, we reserve the right to offer an allowance against a repair, or alternatively a refund for your purchase.

F.6 If the customer decides to cancel their order after we have dispatched for delivery, but have been unable to due to any cause or circumstance beyond our reasonable control (including but not limited to, adverse weather conditions, floods or acts of god), the delivery charge will still be applicable. Please take into account before purchasing our furniture that once items are dispatched from our warehouses the cost for delivery and return will be with the customer; therefore it is essential if cancelling an order to let us know immediately to avoid unwanted items being dispatched. This also applies for deliveries that are free.

F 7 For orders over £400 free delivery, we subsidise your delivery fees on these items. If you wish to return the items, we reserve the right to refund you less than the original purchase price, this is because we subsidise your original delivery fees which are absorbed into our profit margin, unfortunately we cannot do this for returned items, therefore there will be a charge of £40 per order for van/driver services or £40 per pallet for pallet services. For postcodes that carry delivery surcharges, there will be an additional surcharge for returning items from those areas. Please contact us for details.

F.8 We can arrange collection and return of the items at a cost of £40 per order for van/driver or £40 per pallet for pallet service. Post codes that carry surcharges will have an additional cost.

F.9 Goods sent back without prior returns number or authorization from us; will be returned back to you and the cost of delivery charged to your account.

F.10 For goods received back complete as NEW and unused and their original packaging, you will be refunded the full amount less the cost of return. Please note original delivery charges are non refundable.
