Terms & Conditions

---

Please read through these terms and conditions carefully before placing your Order. By using this website and/or placing an order you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set out below. Please also read our privacy statement regarding personal information provided by you. We may change these terms from time to time without notice to you. Changes will apply to any subsequent orders received.

 

Our products are made by humans and not machines, small imperfections or differences in shape, size and colour can happen and are part of the charm of a handmade product. This part of the handmade process is what makes our products unique and should not be seen as a fault. They will never affect the overall aesthetic of the product and its ability for use as intended. Furthermore, whilst colour reproduction is a close representation, every piece is individual and variations in actual goods may occur. We cannot accept any responsibility for these variations.

Our fabrics are made from natural products and may thus have natural characteristics such as slubs and other irregularities in the yarns which are not weaving faults and therefore not considered faults by us as a company. All our pottery is dishwasher and microwave safe, however for larger pieces of pottery we recommend washing by hand.

Our furniture has been handcrafted by skilled artisans in a durable hardwood to produce a distinctive design that will bring pleasure for years to come.

Variations in Wood - Products made of wood include slightly different grain patterns, variation in colour, knots, and joint lines, which add to the character of antiqued and rustic finish furniture.

Expansion - All timber will display movement from season to season because of changes in atmospheric temperature and humidity, this may occasionally make drawer movement a little stiff. To ease movement, simply rub a little candle wax on the drawer runners of the furniture on either side of the drawer.

Care - Please take care when moving furniture as dragging pieces across the floor will cause damage to the joints. Take care to prevent sharp objects such as toys, buckles and heels from coming in to contact with your furniture. Wooden and delicate flooring should be protected from possible marking by feet or legs.
 

 

It is important that the information and details you give us in relation to any bespoke or made to measure or personalised products that you order are correct and accurate. It is your responsibility to make sure your Order is correct. We take no responsibility for any error in any order you may place. All orders for bespoke, made to order, made to measure, personalised and cut fabrics do not fall within the cancellation policy and we will not accept cancellations, returns nor will we give refund for product nor for delivery charges.

It is your responsibility to make sure the item you order can and will fit where you intend because your Order cannot be cancelled nor refunded nor exchanged. We recommend that you check access for the chosen furniture as well as space you intend to be its final position.

Please also note that the statements in relation to Handmade Products above also apply to bespoke, made to measure and made to order products. While we make all reasonable efforts to ensure that measurements of such products are accurate, there will be variation resulting from the handmade nature of these products. Please note, these variations do not fall within the cancellation policy. We will not accept cancellations or returns on these custom-made products, nor will we refund delivery charges.
 

 

It is your responsibility to ensure that the furniture purchased will pass through any necessary doorways/corridors/stairways and will fit into your room of your choice. Should your furniture be unable to pass easily through these spaces, we cannot be held liable for any subsequent scuffing or damage caused to walls, door-frames or paintwork.

If a custom-made item is too big for your intended room and you are changing your minds we will not be able to accept the product back for a refund nor exchange it for smaller furniture. Custom-made furniture cannot be returned to us, as it has been made especially for you. It is very important that you make sure you are happy with your chosen fabric, colour and check the measurements carefully before completing your Order.

The measurements of all custom-made furniture made will be as accurate as possible, but nevertheless approximate and may vary due to the handmade nature of the product.
 

Payment in full is required for all items, at time of ordering. Order acceptance and the existence of a contract between you and us will take place on dispatch to you of the products you have ordered, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your Order or you have cancelled it in accordance with our cancellation policy (outlined below in Returning or Cancelling an order).
