Returns, Damages, & Cancellations

We want you to be fully satisfied with your experience. If your purchase doesn't meet your expectations, then we'll work with you to either return your products for a refund, gift card, or find a suitable replacement. We accept returns within an industry leading 60 day window from the date of receipt as long as the following conditions are met:

  • Returns must be in new & unused condition with original exterior & interior packaging, and hardware.
  • The return must have an approved authorization from our customer service department.
  • Returns initiated within 15 Days of receipt can be returned for a refund less a 30% fee. This fee can be reduced to 15% if you prefer a refund via store credit.
  • Returns initiated between 15-60 days of receipt can only be returned for a store credit. The return fee will still be deducted from the credit value.
  • Deductions: The reason for the return fee is that returns are typically unable to be re-sold, are often donated, or can incur large logistical costs to return to the origin facilities. Shipping costs and upgrades will not be refunded or credited.

To start your return, please fill out our form: Here. Returns cannot be processed over the phone. We will get you your refund as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience, because it takes time to receive and inspect returns to confirm all conditions and policies are met.

Product Care

Our products are designed and built for indoor, domestic use (unless otherwise noted as "outdoor").

Dining tables are designed to be a gathering place for meals, and therefore intended to hold lightweight objects. Our dining tables, coffee tables, side tables, and end tables are not to be used as work tables. Placing extreme loads on them will cause damage and overturning. Do not allow children to climb on the tables.

Cabinets, end tables, sideboards, low boards, and case goods are intended to be placed safely against the wall. Bookcases designed as central units must have special consideration taken for their placement in the living space to assure the safety of children.

Floor standing mirrors are to be placed beside the wall and used with anti-skid rubber felt on the base to prevent the mirror from sliding.

Please carefully read through the Installation Manual before assembling the furniture and do not hesitate to call for professional help when needed.

Exercise extreme care during assembly and use the proper tools - for both the safety of yourself and the furniture.

Keep all stained veneered surfaces out of contact with liquids. If a liquid is poured on the surface immediately use a dry, soft cloth to soak it up and then use another clean, dry cloth to wipe off any remaining residue.

Avoid using rough or dirty cloth for cleaning as it may scratch the surface and the dirt may be left trapped in the veneer. Pieces with open pore effect finishing are especially at risk for this.

For daily cleaning of stain veneered surfaces, use a clean, dampened soft cloth. Avoid using aggressive detergent, acetone, solvents and abrasive cleaning agents on the surfaces. For greasy surfaces, we suggest wiping standard glass cleaning detergent over the surface, with the grain of the veneer. DO NOT spray the surface with the detergent; dampen a cloth with the detergent first.

Do not place the furniture near a fireplace or in areas above 113°F (45°C) as this may cause damage and deformation of the product.

For all cleaning make sure to use a clean, soft cloth to wipe with gentle pressure. A rough cloth may create minute scratches on the surface of your furniture inviting future damage.

Please note: Our products are constructed with wood base materials like MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and wood, and therefore can be very absorbent. Do not have excessive water on the floor while cleaning the space where the piece is housed in order to prevent prolonged or excessive absorption that can cause deformation of the wood and MDF.

For general care, use a soft, dry cloth to clean off dust. For fingerprints or slightly stubborn stains we recommend using a standard glass cleaner detergent solution that does not contain solvents and/or spirits. Avoid using cloths with rough fibers as they could scratch or ruin the surfaces.

Please note that prolonged exposure of painted surfaces to the sun will cause discoloration and fading.

For marble surfaces, it is important to immediately clean off any dirt or stains that it comes in contact with to assure that the stains do not penetrate into the marble. Cleaning should be done with a soft fiber cloth to take away the dirt or stain, followed by using a clean soft dampened cloth to clean away any remaining residue. For best results, seal your marble.

Please follow these helpful hints, tips and suggestions to keep your cane seating strong and supple for long-term enjoyment.

Avoid Heat and Dryness

Keep your cane furniture away from direct heat sources (radiators, heat vents) and low humidity areas. Heat and low humidity can cause cane to get dry and brittle, which can cause breaking, snapping, and splintering. Additionally, direct sunlight should be avoided if possible. We recommend using a humidifier in the winter or arid climates that might cause hot and dry atmospheres.

Moisture Maintenance

Consider the cane similar to your skin. Keep the cane moisturized to increase the longevity and decrease the chance of damage. You can spritz your cane with an oil or glycerin-based soap mixture that’s been diluted in water. We recommend gently misting the backs and undersides of cane seating once a month with a spray bottle filled with a mixture of an oil soap and warm water.

Additionally, you can use a high-oil content furniture polish when dusting to help keep the cane supple. Lemon oil, orange oil, or mineral oil (use sparingly) applied to both the top and bottom of the cane seat a few times a year should do the trick.

Distribute body weight evenly on the cane seat

Cane seating is only intended to handle evenly distributed weight, and not concentrated weight such as a foot or a knee. Never kneel on cane or use it as a step stool. This will almost certainly break or stretch the cane.

We recommend using a seat pad or cushion to prolong the health of your cane seating (especially on large chairs or cane surfaces). A pad or cushion will distribute weight evenly and take the pressure off the individual strands.

Sagging Cane Solutions

Cane has naturally elastic properties, but if and when your cane begins sagging, then you’ll want to tighten it to prevent it from getting too weak along the edges and eventually breaking.

Sagging cane that’s minimally over-stretched can be rejuvenated by applying a warm and wet cloth to the underside of the cane seat after turning it upside down. Let the cloth and cane dry naturally overnight, and it should tighten the fibers. Remove the cloth the next day and turn the chair back to the normal position, then don’t sit in it for about 48 hours. This process will tighten the fibers and reduce the pressure from the inside edges.

Alternatively, you can use a spray bottle to spritz the seat liberally with warm water. Let the seat dry overnight, then don’t sit on it for 48 hours until dry.

The above processes are usually effective when done regularly within the first five years of use or recaning. They generally won’t work if there’s already numerous broken strands.Using these preventative methods a few times a year should increase the longevity of your cane.

Clean Frequently

Keeping your cane clean and void of dust, dirt, and grime is very important, because the dirt can damage the cane in the long run. Clean grime and dirty with a wood soap such as mild detergent in warm water. You can use a soft cloth or a soft bristle brush. Don’t damage the wood surface with the water, and make sure to rinse well and then let the seat dry naturally. Drying with heat will damage the cane. Don’t sit on the seat for at least 48 hours afterwards, because it can cause the cane to stretch and sag.

Avoid mold and mildew

If you see or smell mold or mildew, then you can use a solution of bleach OR hydrogen peroxide (not both) in soapy warm water to clean it. You can alternatively use the hydrogen peroxide on a q-tip swab to remove the mold if there’s only some small spots.

Afterwards you should rinse well and dry the cane outdoors if possible on a warm and windy day. If you accidentally spill the bleach solution on the wooden frame, then wipe it off quickly to avoid damage.

Cane Storage Tips

Don’t use or store your cane furniture in high humidity or in wet areas where mold and mildew are an issue. Avoid cold/wet basements, crawl spaces, bathrooms, the porch pushed up next to the wall of the house… You want areas with good air circulation.

Color Changes

Cane will naturally darken with age, but it can take several years to happen.

If you feel you must apply some sort of finish, high oil content furniture polish products can be used successfully; lemon oil, orange oil and mineral oil.

Occasionally, tung oil varnish or even wax furniture polish are used as a finish on the cane without harmful effects.

Caring for your upholstered cushions is and easy but crucial process for increasing the longevity out of your furniture. Please follow the below guide to make your upholstery last:

  1. Regular Fluffing: Fluff your couch cushions regularly to maintain their shape and comfort. This is especially important for cushions filled with down or synthetic fibers. Simply pat and shake each cushion to redistribute the filling evenly.
  2. Rotation: Rotate your cushions regularly to ensure even wear. This helps prevent one side from becoming more compressed than the other. Aim to rotate them every few weeks if possible.
  3. Vacuuming: Use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to remove dust, debris, and pet hair from your couch cushions. Vacuum both sides of the cushions and pay attention to seams and crevices where dirt can accumulate.
  4. Spot Cleaning: Attend to spills and stains promptly to prevent them from setting into the fabric. Blot the spill with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Then, use a mild detergent solution or upholstery cleaner according to the manufacturer's instructions. Test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration.
  5. Deep Cleaning: Depending on the fabric and level of use, deep clean your couch cushions every 6 to 12 months. You can do this by either using a steam cleaner or by removing the cushion covers (if removable) and washing them according to the care instructions. Be sure to let the cushions dry completely before putting them back on the couch.
  6. Protective Covers: Consider using protective covers for your couch cushions, especially if you have pets or young children. These covers can help shield the cushions from spills, stains, and wear, prolonging their lifespan.
  7. Avoid Sun Exposure: Direct sunlight can cause fabric colors to fade and weaken fibers over time. Position your couch away from windows or use curtains and blinds to minimize exposure to sunlight.
  8. Avoid Sharp Objects: Be mindful of sharp objects such as keys, buckles, or pets' claws that could snag or tear the fabric of your couch cushions. Encourage careful handling to prevent accidental damage.
  9. Air Circulation: Allow your cushions to breathe occasionally by removing them from the couch and placing them in a well-ventilated area. This helps prevent musty odors and mold growth, especially in humid environments.
  10. Professional Cleaning: If your cushions are heavily soiled or stained, consider hiring a professional upholstery cleaning service. They have the expertise and equipment to effectively clean and rejuvenate your couch cushions.

By following these simple care tips, you can keep your couch cushions looking and feeling great for years to come!
