COSMETIC STANDARDS
We take immense pride in every distinctive piece of furniture we create. Since our products are handmade and hand-finished, variations and "imperfections" in the wood should be expected and appreciated! Just as every tree is unique, so is every piece of furniture we craft for you.
WOOD & STAIN VARIATIONS - Our furniture has a unique appearance and slight color variations due to its natural grain patterns. We cannot guarantee an exact match in stain color to other furniture. Wood has a mind of its own, and every piece of wood accepts stains differently. We can influence it, but we can't control it entirely. We will use the correct stain or paint color you requested for your order, but there is a chance the color will vary slightly from the table or picture you had in mind when you placed the order.
MATCHING STAIN COLORS - We can't match stain colors from photos. To create a custom stain, you'll need to send a sample of the color you want to our workshop.
SANDING & STAIN COLORS - The level of smoothness you want for your table will affect the color of the stain. A finely finished table will be lighter, while a distressed table will be darker even when the same stain is applied to each.
GENERAL VARIATIONS IN REAL WOOD FURNITURE - Handcrafted, solid wood furniture may feature knots, minor imperfections, textural variations on the surface, unique distress marks, wood filler marks, joint lines, distinctive nicks, splits, filled cracks, and other blemishes. There may be up to 1 inch of variation across all measurements due to the custom nature of our handcrafted furniture. Solid wood will expand and contract due to seasonal changes in humidity. This natural movement does not affect structural integrity and is not considered a defect.
LEAD TIMES - When placing an order, please remember that the lead time provided is our best estimate of when we will complete your project. We occasionally complete orders before the estimated lead time, but production issues may cause delays. If you request delivery for a special occasion, such as a party or holiday, we will do our best to accommodate your wishes, but we cannot guarantee a delivery date.
