 3. Cane furniture

3.1     We do not accept returns on cane products for change of mind, or colour variances.  The shipping logistics of returns are risky and expensive.

3.2     Deposits paid on cane furniture are non-refundable.  Furniture is often made to order and we cannot refund deposits once work has begun and/or your piece is in transit to NZ.

3.3     We do not accept returns on custom items. These items have been created just for you, requiring significant cost and skill and cannot be resold.

3.4     The Cane/Rattan used to make our furniture is a natural product.  Each piece of cane contains colour variations and subsequently each piece of furniture made with cane has a unique finish.  This means furniture could be lighter or darker than the product photos.  If you need a specific shade, contact us prior to making a purchase. We do not accept returns on cane furniture for colour variations.

3.5     Washed finishes that are available on selected designs are applied by hand and colours can vary from past collections.  We recommend purchasing all items at the same time to avoid large colour variations in your collection.
