Our products
We endeavor to ensure that all information on the goods on our website is accurate, and we rely on information provided by product manufacturers. Unfortunately, on some occasions, it is possible that this information may contain errors or inaccuracies and we reserve the right to correct these at any time, including after an order is placed.
Variation and minor imperfections
Some of our products are made from natural or organic materials, such as solid woods. Colour and grain variations are the natural characteristics of these materials, hence these variations are evident in every piece of the product made from these materials. These variations contribute to the uniqueness and make apparent the natural beauty of using natural or organic materials. They are accepted throughout the wood furniture industry.
In addition to the above, natural wood products will show knots, fine lines that may look like scratches, blemishes, splits, and fissures that add to the distinct character of each exceptional piece and therefore these natural occurrences shall also not be deemed as a defect.
Due to the photo shooting condition and screen setting, products received may differ to a small extent in visual appearance (eg. Colour, textures) from the imageries on our website.
Underside/rear of the furniture
It is normal and to be expected that the underside and rear of the furniture are not finished to the same standard as other areas of the furniture that is meant to be visible during normal everyday usage. By doing this, we are able to offer you your beautiful piece of furniture at a very affordable price.
