How long will my delivery take?

Accessories orders typically take 3-5 days.

If you have ordered a furniture item which is in stock then delivery could be made within a couple of days. If it is out of stock it could take longer. All orders will usually be fulfilled in a maximum 6-8 weeks.

As Made to Measure items are hand crafted in our workshop please expect a lead-time of around 8-10 weeks.

Access requirements

We appreciate that sometimes placing new furniture into a room can sometimes be a bit of a tight squeeze especially in slightly smaller spaces. If you feel that your home has unusually awkward access or it might be a little more difficult than usual to place furniture, we would just ask that you give us a bit of heads up in advance. Remember that 99% of our furniture is delivered absolutely fine! We’re used to all different spaces. Once we arrive, we’ll do our best to ensure a speedy service with little or no disruption to your current set up.

Furniture

Standard furniture items (excluding custom-made or made-to-order products) are eligible for refunds. To request a refund, please contact us within 14 days of delivery. If a delivery fee was charged, your refund will include the item's purchase price minus the delivery fee.

If you request a return, we are pleased to offer collection as part of our white-glove service. A collection fee will apply to cover transport and safe handling of the item. This fee typically ranges from £100 to £250, depending on the distance and specific handling requirements. The exact fee will be confirmed with you in advance.

Made to Measure Furniture

Bespoke and made-to-measure items are non-refundable under the UK’s Consumer Contracts Regulations. As these items are made specifically to your specifications—such as custom sizes, finishes, or materials—they cannot be resold. For this reason, we are unable to accept returns on these items.
