3: Our Furniture

3.1 All our furniture is made from quality natural wood and accordingly appearances may vary. The majority of our items are handcrafted, and as a consequence, all sizes are offered as a guide only. It is virtually impossible to accurately portray the actual colour of natural wood product in a picture, due to differing screen resolutions, and natural variations from batch to batch. With regards to our wood furniture, we endeavour to give the best portrayal of colour, but we cannot accept colour or shade differences as evidence of defects. As a general rule, dark items look lighter in reality, and light items look darker in reality. A close match is more likely if two or more items are purchased at the same time because they will come from the same batch. If you wish to return an item because of a shade difference or any other reason, we are willing to offer a refund as long as our returns terms and conditions are met. However, collection costs will be at the customer’s expense, and the returned item must be re-sellable as ‘brand new’.

3.2 Some woods will mellow with age and exposure to sunlight. When you are purchasing our furniture you are buying handmade furniture where varying degrees of distressing is generally applied. This is very much intended and makes each piece totally individual as desired by the craftsmen. We sell only genuine rustic designs with varying degrees of distressing
from piece to piece; this may involve wood splits, wood filling, knots, purpose distress/scratch marks, antiquing etc etc. Certain degrees of filler will be used on oak furniture this is common and very much part of the manufacturing process. Please note that our Indian items are usually of a very rustic nature and a heavy distressing is usually applied, this may appear as a dulling or rubbing effect to the waxed finish, knotty and grainy woods are used, this is as intended by the supplier.

3.3 The majority of our products are sold fully assembled, however on occasions certain pieces will need minimal assembly, this has been deemed fit to protect the item in carriage. All items needing assembly will be specified on the website and instructions for assembly will be provided.

3.4 Made to order items are made to the specification listed on the product page. The measurements can be altered on most items, but please ask for details as the price will change by approximately 30-50%. The Mottisfont range can be ordered in a natural wax finish or painted finish. If a colour is not selected when ordering any products in the painted Mottisfont furniture then it will be made in their standard cream paint finish. Made to order furniture (in all ranges) takes 6 to 8 weeks to finish but usually under 6 weeks. Sometimes it can take up to 10 weeks to finish the items during busier times. Please contact us if you need the item sooner than times advertised and we can quote you exact lead time.

The re-delivery price will be the same price charged to us by the delivery company. If a delivery does fail and it is not the fault of the delivery company nor Made With Oak then you will be liable to pay the re-delivery charge or get a refund less the delivery charge regardless of our free returns policy.

Products must be kept in the same condition as when purchased and in the same packaging in which they were delivered, see below for further details. N.B. For hygiene reasons mattresses are not covered by our returns policy. Any items from the Mottisfont range do not carry the same returns policy (see further details below). If you have chosen the then the items can’t be returned. Please note if we have offered assembly service then it’s down to customer to refuse the order before items are assembled to qualify for change of mind return.

7.2 We offer a 30 day free returns policy on all orders. The items must be in their original condition, unused and also in their original packaging. We will require photographic evidence of the items being fully packaged prior to collection being arranged. Once the item has been collected we shall issue a full refund less any delivery charges paid at the point of orders such as two man services, white glove services, assembly services and/or any delivery surcharges. Please note that the free returns policy does not apply when a delivery fails (as mentioned in 6.7 above). If an item has been bought and it has allowed you to take advantage of any of our offers advertised such as 10% discount on orders over £1000 and one of these items are then returned and the order value falls below £1000 then the refund will be calculated accordingly.

7.3 Self-assembly items that have been constructed must be returned disassembled in their original packaging. A fee may apply to assembled self-assembly items that are returned dependant on the level of construction/usage.

7.4 After this 30 day period has expired we will be unable to accept returns of any items.  For an item to be classified as faulty the product must be in less than perfect condition, dysfunctional or of un-merchantable quality at the time of delivery.  A fault may also be classified as a defect which manifests itself within a reasonable period of time after delivery which can be attributed unanimously to a manufacturing defect or poor quality workmanship and not due to maltreatment by the customer.

Please keep the products purchased in the same condition that they were received and retain the original packaging in the condition it was provided. We reserve the right to refuse return of items should the original packaging not be available to allow the safe return via our carriers.

7.8 Mattresses are currently not covered by our returns policy. We will repair or replace damaged goods however, for hygiene reasons we cannot offer returns for any other reasons.

In the case where a customer would like to cancel an order that includes the Mottisfont Collection, we will refund the customer 60% of the order amount.
