Do We Have A Credit Account?

Any public organisation including NHS, schools and local authorities will automatically be given 30 day credit if an order is placed. (We reserve the right to refuse credit terms at our discretion) Any private organisation will be required to pay by card via the website or phone or via bank transfer (details can be provided on request). For larger orders we may offer credit facilities or payment by installments, please contact us for details.

What Are Lead Times?

We hold large stocks of many essential furniture items, meaning that we can deliver with 5-10 working days. This isn't always entirely straightforward when it comes to made-to-order items as lead times vary between products. During the summer period lead times on classroom furniture (tables, chairs etc.) can extend up to 12-14 weeks, but generally the maximum lead time is 4 weeks on any product we offer. We highly recommend ordering in very good time for these products. if you are unsure about lead times on any products, please don't hesitate to contact us for more information and advice.

Do You Do Site Surveys?

Yes, however we are currently unable to offer this nationwide. Site surveys are free of charge within a 50-mile radius and we reserve the right to charge for this service outside of this area so please contact us for more information.

Can I Return The Furniture I Purchase?

This varies between the type of products. Any item that has been made to order is non-returnable. Items that are held in stock can sometimes be returned but will be subject to restocking fees which vary between suppliers from 30% to 50% of the order value plus the costs associated with the collection.

Do you send out fabric samples? Can I see A Sample Of The Furniture I Would Like To Order?

Yes, we are happy to arrange for samples of products and materials to be sent out subject to availability, please contact us for further details. Product samples may not be in the exact colour and specification that you require.

What Is The Lead Time On Classroom Furniture?

In stock products are generally delivered in 5-10 working days. Through the year lead times on made to order classroom furniture tend to be 3-4 weeks, but during the summer period (May - October), this can extend up to 12-14 weeks. Please note that even if you place an order in May for a specified delivery of the end of August, your order may still be delayed due to the way the manufacturers operate. This will be the same regardless of the furniture dealer you decide to work with. Suggestions to avoid issues: 1. do not throw out old furniture until you have received the new. 2. Be as accommodating as possible with your delivery date, including accepting delivery at any time during the holidays and not insisting on one day at the end of the holidays.

What Guarantees Do You Have On Your Furniture?

The guarantees vary between products so please refer to each item individually. Generally, most items have a minimum of a 5 year guarantee but there are some with 10 or 15 year guarantees and some with 1 or 2 year guarantees. All guarantees are for manufacturer defects so do not include damage through misuse or general wear and tare. In any situation we will do everything we can to assist you with a claim to reach a satisfactory conclusion.
