Furniture

  • Each furniture order is uniquely made to order. As a result, all furniture related sales are final and cannot be cancelled; any deposits, partial or full, are non-refundable.

  • For custom ottomans, we will pick a rug that is as close as possible to what is pictured but it will not be exact unless an exact rug is chosen and marked on your quote/invoice as such. 
  • You make a cowhide selection within 3 business days of placing your order or we will choose one for you.

Once production has begun (typically 3-5 days after order is placed), we can no longer make changes to your custom order.

  • Items shown on our website or in person may vary in actual color because of dye lots between hides and monitor color.
  • You will also find slight variations in color from piece to piece. Leather is dyed by either using top-coating pigment dyes or penetrating aniline dyes. Individual pigment dyes can vary as they are mixed, but tanners and leather finishers also try to achieve more natural effects by combining and/or layering two to three contrasting colorations. Similar to a faux painting treatment, the artisan rubbing the color will get a slightly different color each time. With the penetrating aniline dyes, the color absorption will be affected by each hide’s cell structure. The center of a hide is its backbone; it has been subjected to the most sun, wind and temperature changes which make it thicker and tougher – it will not absorb as much color. The outer perimeter comes from the belly of the cow; it tends to be thinner, softer and stretchier which allows it to absorb more color.
  • We offer free swatches of our materials that can be ordered at no cost before your order is started. If you do not order swatches to be approved, by default we will make the furniture order with the closest material as possible to match the pictured item.
  • In the rare event that an order is damaged in transit or arrives incorrectly, we reserve the right to repair or replace the piece of furniture. 
  • Warranties are directly provided by the manufacturer of each product line.
