We cannot guarantee we have all fixtures and fittings - so please ask upon purchase.
Samples will have been stored in the warehouse and transported on to locations, therefore scratches and damage maybe visible. The amount of damage will be reflected in the price of the item. Samples may require a clean to be up to 'as new' standard'.
We may not have fixings required to build the product as spare parts are limited. Please ensure you check all items before purchase and understand what is missing and needs replacing, if required e.g. screws for chair legs or cushion cover missing.
Samples that are boxed and 'as new' will be set at a cost of RRP - 20% only. All constructed or damaged items will be discounted based on condition.
All samples must be collected upon purchase. We do not offer a delivery service or storage service for samples that cannot be taken upon purchase on the day.
