Your furniture is made by hand and there can be variations.
As a result it is typical to expect some variation on colors and finishes. Upholstered furniture both leather and fabric are bench made by craftsman, as a result of this you can expect some sizing variation. Hand made rugs may vary in size. There can be sizing variations in case goods (wood furniture). Similarly some fabrics and leather upholstery, particularly Aniline dyed leather may vary in coloration and texture from the online photographs or the samples you may have received. Marble and Stone may vary in color. This is what makes each item unique. Unless the manufacturer made a color or finish error this is not considered a manufacturers defect and we cannot accept a return for this reason.

Regulations require that boxes and packing materials cannot be returned on the delivery truck. The drivers will cut up the boxes to lay flat. Other packing materials can be placed in a carton. Please advise the drivers where you would like these materials placed at your home and the drivers will place these materials where requested.
Add on pieces.
Some items are priced at a lower price as they are listed as add on's to the rest of the group. For example a bedroom group that includes the complete bed and one night stand. A second night stand can be purchased as an add on for a low price. The add on pieces are not available at these prices if sold alone.
