Product Information
All products are subject to availability and we reserve the right to withdraw products at any time and/or remove or edit content on this website. Prices and availability of goods are subject to change without notice. Every care has been taken to ensure that the descriptions and specifications are correct at the time of going to press. However, specifications and descriptions of products on this website are not intended to be binding and are intended only to give a general description of the products all sizes are approximate. Furthermore, wood is a natural product and has all manner of colour variations, and whilst we go to great lengths to colour match as much as possible, we cannot guarantee any replication of colour from piece to piece. The removal of every single flaw would render the timber characterless. Accordingly, the customer accepts there may be some flaws, such as small knots, small shakes (slight cracks which are a natural element of the timber), and other minor flaws which will not impair the performance of the product. Whilst we go to great lengths to ensure the timber has been correctly dried, movement in solid timber cannot be prevented. After delivery, small cracks may appear a few millimetres in width. This is entirely normal and is regarded as part of the natural beauty of the timber. These cracks and movements do not constitute any fault with the timber or product construction; for the sake of clarity, timber is a natural product and will move/change over time and the customer expressly understands and accepts this while the colour reproduction is a close representation, a very slight variation in the actual goods may occur.
If it is essential that the measurements are accurate on an item then please contact us prior to ordering and we will be happy to help. We will not be liable for the cost of returning items that are not the right size for your purposes if you have not checked with us beforehand.
Made to order/fully personalised products may differ slightly from product imagery but are a result of the handmade nature of these products. Please note that due to the bespoke nature of made to order products, we are unable to offer refunds on these items unless they are found to be faulty. In this rare circumstance, you will be offered a full refund or the chance to receive a replacement.
