5.1 All prices given in store or on Our Website are in Pounds Sterling (£) and include VAT.
5.2 Our usual or top price is displayed on Products when not on Promotion. It is also displayed alongside any event or sale prices to show what the non-discount price has previously been or will be after the event or sale period has finished.
5.3 Sale prices can be found during certain periods of the year when we are displaying discounts on Products for a limited time only. We also run special prices which is an indication of our best price on a select number of Products all year round.
5.4 Clearance Products do not form part of our event or sale, but will usually display a normal or top price, as well as what it has previously been on sale for to show that it has been further reduced to clear.
5.5 We try to ensure that prices in store and on Our Website are displayed correctly, to the best of Our ability. If we notice an error in a displayed or quoted price, we will inform You as soon as possible and offer the option of confirming your Order at the correct price.
5.6 If we display a price that could reasonably have been identified as a pricing error, then we do not have to provide the Product(s) to You at the incorrect price. If the error could not be reasonably identified and You have a confirmed order, then we will honour this. For any quotes, we will provide an updated quote as soon as possible.
6.1 Our Contract with You becomes legally binding once your Order has been signed by You and returned to us and a deposit payment made. Only at this point will we place your Order with the manufacturer.
6.2 If for any reason we are unable to fulfil your Order, we will notify You as soon as possible and not proceed with your Order. We will refund any deposit paid within 14 days of this notification, in the same method as the original payment.
7.1 Products may differ slightly from those that we have on display and including any imagery in store or on Our Website. All images are for illustrative purposes only and all dimensions provided are an approximation. We try to represent the Products as best we can but cannot guarantee the accuracy of digital displays or print processes.
7.2 Colours can differ on Products ordered from different batches at different times. To ensure the best colour match for your Products they should be ordered at the same time.
Most of our Products are made to order to your chosen specification and as such it can be very difficult to make any changes after we have processed your Order, as production may have already started. We would still encourage You to contact us as soon as possible if You do require any changes to your Order and we will let You know whether it would be possible, upon checking with the relevant manufacturer. Should the changes be accepted, we will notify You of any changes to the price and delivery times, or anything else necessary resulting from the change. We will then ask You to confirm You wish to proceed with the proposed changes.
9.1 At the point of placing your Order with our Sales Expert, You will be informed of the estimated delivery time. Delivery times are always given in the best of faith but can change due to Events Outside Our Control. We will always endeavour to update You when there is a significant change to the delivery time.
9.2 Delivery charges will be confirmed to You at the point of placing your Order. Details of our current delivery charges can be found on Our Website or by speaking to a Sales Expert. If parts of your order arrive at our warehouse at different times then we will hold these until your complete order arrives to deliver it at the same time. You may opt to have a split delivery but this will incur a separate charge per delivery made.
9.2.1 Our warehouse team will contact You to book a delivery date once all the Products on your Order are received in from the manufacturer(s). The day before we are due to deliver (except where that day is a weekend or a Bank Holiday, in which it will be the working day prior), You will be advised whether your delivery will be AM or PM. On the day of delivery, You will receive a telephone call when the delivery team is approximately 30 minutes away.
9.2.2 Our delivery team will place your Product(s) in the room(s) of your choice and remove all packaging. You must ensure that the room(s) and area(s) leading to the room(s) are clear and free from obstruction. If not free from obstruction we may be required to leave your Product(s) in the entrance way, or if we are unable to leave somewhere suitable it will be classed as a failed delivery and returned to our warehouse.
9.3 Failed deliveries can occur for several reasons:
– A Product is too large to fit through a doorway, passageway or in a room.
– Areas are not free from obstruction and there is no suitable place to leave a Product.
– There is no response at the property when visited.
– You refuse to accept delivery when at the property.
9.3.1 If we are asked to redeliver a Product after a failed delivery attempt there would be a charge at our standard rate, irrespective of whether the first delivery attempt was free.
9.3.2 If we are unable to deliver on the specified date due to unforeseen circumstances, we will notify You as soon as possible and endeavour to redeliver on the next available date.
9.3.3 In the event You cannot be present for the delivery but still wish for it to go ahead, another adult (a person who is 18 years of age or older) may be present to accept delivery on your behalf and You agree that You have given them authority to represent You and that we can rely on their instructions as if they were yours.
9.4 Some Products may require assembly and installation, which You will be advised of when placing your Order. Please see our Website for full details of what is included within our standard delivery and what there is an additional charge for.
9.4.1 Some of our items of furniture may need to be attached to walls as part of their installation in order to be safe and stable. Our installation services do not include attaching items to walls in your property. Where such attachment is necessary, You will need to arrange for that separately. Where items require a firm and flat surface in order to be stable, You must ensure that the item is located in a location within your property that is firm and flat. Please follow any other relevant guidance provided with the Products. We will not be responsible for any damage caused by furniture being unstable and toppling over if You have not located them in a suitable location or securely attached them to a wall where required or for any consequences of your failure to follow any guidance provided in relation to the installation and use of the goods (except where this is caused by the negligence of our own installers).
9.5 Occasionally we may opt to deliver your Product through a trusted third party. This does not affect any of the delivery service offered by our own delivery teams.
9.6 Please do not dispose of your existing furniture until we notify You that we have received your product and a date of delivery has been provided.
9.7 Our delivery team will ensure You check each Product matches your Order and that You are satisfied, asking You to sign confirmation of delivery.
9.8 We provide, at an additional cost, a disposal service for your old furniture when delivering your new items. You may arrange this service during the order process or any time up until the initial booking of your delivery with our warehouse. Any items that are too large to reasonably be taken out of your property must be dismantled by You prior to our arrival. We can dismantle items for You at an additional cost and by prior arrangement only. Details of our current disposal and dismantling charges can be found on Our Website or by speaking to a Sales Expert. We cannot accept any items for disposal, or dismantle any items, that have not been agreed when arranging the disposal service.

If we are unable to provide an exact replacement, we will give You the option of a full refund including any delivery charges or the opportunity to select a different product.
11.3 If a product is found to be faulty or damaged more than 30 days after delivery and up to 6 months, please contact us as soon as You notice the defect so that we can discuss your options regarding a repair or replacement.

11.4 After 6 months, if a product is found to be faulty or damaged, please contact us as soon as You notice the defect. You will be asked to provide evidence that the product is faulty due to a manufacturing error and not due to reasonable wear and tear. We reserve the right to send a technician to verify any evidence of the fault provided by You or an independent third party acting on your behalf, prior to deciding on a course of action. If found to be a manufacturing fault we will endeavour to repair the product in the first instance, but if unable to do so we will offer a replacement. If a direct replacement cannot be sourced, we will provide the opportunity to select a different product of the same value but taking into consideration any reasonable deductions due to length of use of the initial product.
11.5 When we offer You the opportunity to select a different product, if the new product differs in value to the first, we will either refund the difference or ask You to pay any extra.
11.6 If the fault has been caused by You, then we may still be able to repair the product for an additional charge or provide details of a separate service that can do this. If You have taken out an Extended Warranty You may be able to claim for any accidental damage caused by You, which will be in the Terms and conditions of your individual warranty plan.
11.7 Some of our manufacturers may offer a guarantee for individual parts of a product, for example a structural frame or electric motor. In this instance we will advise as such and enact any repairs under the Terms of their warranty.

Payment can be made via bank transfer, but we must receive a minimum of 3 working days’ notice should You wish to pay via this method and details will be provided upon request.

We reserve the right to decline all or part of any payment for any reason and should this occur then we will advise You.
