In the unlikely event you discover your items are faulty due to our own doing then we will pick up and make any repairs for you as soon as possible, and in the unlikley event you discover a scratch in the paintwork on a chair or table then we will send a small sample pot of paint for any touch ups and this must also be reported to us within 10 days of receiving your goods. Changing your mind on sizes or colours for handmade tables is fine but as long as we havent started making it (usually 2 weeks before delivery) in which case charges will be made. These farmhouse tables are made from reclaimed old wood so please expect some minor holes, knocks, marks, cracks and dents here and there, however some large holes will be filled with wood filler so it blends in. Sizes of all our tables are approximate only and may vary by a few centimetres. The pictures of all the tables on the website are just examples of what you can expect to receive and all Farrow and ball colours will be scanned with a quality alternative paint. Please note that due to the nature of the reclaimed wood, the tops may look slightly lighter or darker than that of the pictures. Please note that we can only except returns on handmade and customised tables and benches if they are damaged or faulty and within 30 days of taking delivery. The lead time is approximate only. Please ask for more details.
