Product Specifications
3.1 We and Our suppliers have a policy of continuous product development and reserve the right to amend the specifications of any Products without prior notice in relation to future sales.
Products supplied may differ slightly, therefore, from those on display or advertised online.
3.2 All Our furniture is made from natural wood and accordingly appearances may vary. Some woods will mellow with age and exposure to sunlight.
3.3 When You are purchasing Our furniture, You are buying pieces where varying degrees of distressing is generally applied. This is very much intended and makes each piece totally individual as designed by the manufacturers. 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 Our oak furniture. This is common and part of the manufacturing process. Please note that Knotty and grainy woods are used; this is as intended by the supplier. This does not affect Your statutory rights and as such, if You believe that the condition of the Product(s) delivered to be faulty or not as described.
3.6 We advise ur solid hardwood furniture be treated with wax. Ensure that You wax the whole Product, not just the top. This does not affect Your statutory rights and as such if you believe the condition of your items is unacceptable then please contact the customer service department.
3.7 On rare occasions, due to climate changes You may find slight swelling or wood expanding or contracting. To avoid this Try to place leaves back on the table when the table is no being used as often as possible.
Prices
4.1 The price of the Product(s) is as notified to You by Our telephone sales team or as indicated on the order pages when You submit Your order to purchase the Product(s) on the Website (as applicable). All prices include VAT, where appropriate, at the prevailing rate and are subject to any promotional offer or discount.
4.2 We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Product advised to You is correct. However, it is always possible that, despite Our best efforts, some of the prices for the Products may be incorrect. If We accept and process Your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by You as mispricing, We may end Our contract with You, refund You any sums You have paid and require the return of the Products from You.
Delivery
5.1 Before delivery, our logistics team will contact customers to establish specifics regarding access and location of your residence. This will help us allocate appropriate time for the delivery and setup (where applicable) of your order.
5.2 The validity of your confirmed delivery price covers the total cost of delivering your order to your residence, strictly in accordance with the information provided by the customer to our logistics team in point 5.1.
5.3 Misinformation relating to point 5.1 will lead to either an additional delivery charge of £50, or delivery to a ground level location at your address.
5.4 After the delivery and assembly service, the delivery team is obliged to take a few pictures of the assembled table in case of any further questions or open issues.
5.5 Please verify product measurements and delivery access to your home on our website or by contacting our customer service. Ensure adequate doorway and stair access. We are not liable for extra costs due to incorrect information provided by you.
5.6 Please ensure that access to your residence and the final location of your order is safe and free from potential problems or hazards. As our staff has not visited your home and cannot advise whether your products will fit, we ask that you take reasonable steps to ensure that the products can be successfully delivered to you. This includes making sure that the van can get to you and measuring any door or ceiling heights, plus twists and turns (including your stair banister) that might cause difficulties when we deliver. Your order will typically be delivered via a large van, so please be sure your property is accessible for this type of vehicle. If you think there may be an issue, please inform us prior to delivery.
5.7 It is helpful if you can be at your home to accept the delivery because no one knows it better than you. If you are unavailable to accept the delivery, please note that there must be someone over the age of 16 at your property to take the delivery for you.
5.8 Please take reasonable steps to remove any internal or external tripping hazards, furniture, ornaments, wall fixtures, or cables that will obstruct the route to your room of choice. We cannot be held responsible for any damage to these items if they are not removed unless caused by our negligence. Please note that our drivers are not allowed to remove their shoes (for health and safety reasons) when delivering such heavy items. You should take care to ensure that the route is safe and accessible before the delivery team arrives. We recommend you take steps to cover floors and carpets if necessary, and where possible secure temporary coverings to avoid tripping hazards. We cannot be liable for failure to deliver due to inaccessibility or for marks, scratches, or damage caused to your property, internally or externally, unless such damage is caused by our negligence.
5.9 Delivery to certain postcodes may take longer than others.
5.10 Although we endeavor to offer flexible delivery dates, our custom delivery is subject to availability.
5.11 Any changes made to your order might impact the delivery date. We may be unable to deliver your products on your confirmed delivery date should changes occur. If we are unable to deliver your entire order on the same day, we will deliver your order in instalments. We will not charge you for deliveries in instalments unless this is a result of your request.
5.12 If we are not able to make the delivery at the pre-arranged time due to factors under your control (e.g., the products do not fit), we may charge you a failed delivery fee to cover our direct costs.
5.13 Time of delivery is not of the essence. We will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by you through any reasonable delay due to unforeseen circumstances.
5.14 In the unlikely event that there is an issue with your product(s) on arrival, please notify us upon becoming aware of it, and our customer service team will help to resolve the matter for you as quickly as possible. Once your service case has been raised, a member of our customer service team will look into the best way to resolve the situation, and you will be contacted within two working days. Please do not return products to the store. We will require you to provide certain information about the reported fault (including a photograph of the damage that you can load onto the website) to enable us to investigate and resolve the issue. Nothing in this paragraph affects your statutory rights.
5.15 If you choose to have your products delivered to your own third-party carrier, we will not accept any responsibility or liability for any damage to your product(s) once they are out of our control. Any forwarding delivery is at your own risk.
