6.5 We will deliver the goods to the premises you specify on your order. You must be at home to accept delivery of your order, which is normally between 9:00am and 6:00pm Monday-Friday. We will not accept responsibility for loss or damage if you instruct the delivery company to leave the goods unattended. If you would like to specify a delivery date, please contact us on the email address above.
6.6 Most of our products are relatively heavy items and you may be required to assist the driver in offloading your order. Our standard delivery service is to deliver items to your front door or to the communal entrance of your address on the ground floor. Any additional help provided by our drivers is at their own discretion.
6.7 Disposal of packing materials is your responsibility.
6.8 After a failed delivery attempt (or if you are not at home for an agreed delivery) the goods may be returned to us and we reserve the right to charge you an additional re-delivery charge.
6.9 If you change the delivery address once the goods have been dispatched to you, we reserve the right to pass on any extra charges made by our carriers for redirecting your delivery.

6.12 Deliveries are made to a ground floor entrance only and on the condition that there is reasonable access for the safe and prompt delivery of the goods. You should tell us about any special delivery requirements or conditions when you place your order.
6.13 Sometimes, for reasons beyond our control we may be prevented from delivering your goods as planned. These might include things such as accidents, breakdowns, fire, flood, storm, severe weather, acts of god, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage or the default of our suppliers. We will try to put things right as soon as possible however we can’t be responsible where this causes a delay or failure in delivering your goods.
6.14 Time is not the essence of the contract unless expressly stated otherwise in writing by a Director of the Company.
7. FAULTY GOODS / GUARANTEE
7.1 If there is a problem with the goods, please notify us by email providing details of the problem. It is helpful if you can provide us with a digital photograph/video of the problem as this normally saves you having to return the goods for inspection. We will deal with the matter in accordance with your legal rights.
7.2 All goods are guaranteed for 12 months from the date of delivery. Within this time scale we will replace defective goods (not due to wear and tear, misuse or natural movement and ageing of wood) free of charge.
7.3 Our warranty is provided in addition to the rights that the law says you have as a consumer and accordingly, your statutory rights are not affected.
7.4 If an exchange is necessary, this will be arranged without unreasonable delay and without charge. Replacement goods will not be dispatched until the original goods have been received at our warehouse and checked. The cost of returning goods to us is your responsibility, however on inspection we will refund your reasonable postage costs, providing that the goods are found to be faulty. If the goods are not faulty, we will return them to you, however you will be required to cover our reasonable postage costs.
7.5 All products should be cleaned in accordance with our care and maintenance instructions where applicable.
7.6 It is your responsibility to ensure the environment that you wish to place the items is suitable for such products. Note that the surrounding air temperature plays an important role in relative air humidity. Changes in the temperature can cause the wood to quickly react by expanding/contracting. This movement can cause the wood to move (warp/cup) and new shakes (cracks) to open. This could result in openings at the joints. As a result, furniture should not be placed near strong heat sources such as radiators and wood burners, etc. Likewise, furniture should not be stored in places where the temperature can suddenly change such as outdoors, conservatories, or outhouses etc. We cannot be held responsible for changes in the wood due to environmental factors once the delivery has been received. Such changes are not considered manufacturing faults under the terms of the item's warranty.
7.7 If an item is no longer available we will offer an alternative. However our liability will be to replace the faulty goods only and we are unable to guarantee an exact match. In this instance you will have the option of a refund.
7.8 We are unable to guarantee an exact colour match due to the nature of the product.
8. LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
8.1 The products sold on this website have been designed to comply with all relevant UK legislation. We cannot warrant or represent that they comply with any legal requirement outside the UK.
8.2 We do not accept liability for any consequential loss of profit or indirect losses. You should therefore not book installation of the goods until you have received them and inspected them.
