Very Important:
Furniture Assembly
Depending upon the manufacturer, some furniture items come fully assembled, while others have some assembly required. Assembly requirements may change without notice. Usually any assembly is light, such as attaching legs to a table or putting shelves in place. Some chairs come assembled, while others are sold ready to assemble; it just depends on the manufacturer. All TV consoles, desks, and most bookcases come in one piece, with placement of any adjustable shelves or attachment of handles as the only assembly.

Colors produced on a screen (monitors, laptops, tablets, cell phones, etc.) vary greatly from company to company and product to product. Ambient light, brightness, color settings, and the viewing angle of a display play a major role in color reproduction. Our vendors do their best to supply us proper colors but due these variables, we cannot guarantee the exact color of a product shown in the pictures.
Returns Due to Material
- Returns of products due to quality of the material are subject to the standard return policy. Quality (i.e. softness, texture, etc.) of a material is subjective. We provide digital swatches/finish samples to view the texture of the material and wood. Please inquire about physical samples if the digital sample does not suffice. Physical samples may not be available for all products and may incur shipping fees.
