Because each piece is unique there will be cosmetic differences between display samples and ordered items, which cannot be seen as faults. The consumer’s expectations vis-a-vis the natural characteristics of solid wood, and the importance of its care and maintenance, are paramount to avoiding misunderstanding and disappointment. The process of manufacturing furniture involves both machining and handcrafting and so, even accounting for differences in the cosmetic appearance of the materials, slight variations in manufacturing may be apparent and again, these should not be viewed as faults.

However, should the technician report otherwise, then the Buyer falls liable for covering the cost. If it is agreed there is a manufacturing fault or the quality falls below accepted standards, then the following potential solutions will apply:
If thought agreeable, a reasonable financial allowance will be offered on the understanding the consumer accepts the allowance in full and final settlement of the reported claim, OR

If the problem can be rectified or remedied locally, an offer to appoint a qualified technician to undertake the necessary work will be made and for those costs to be borne by the Company
Alternatively, and if the Buyer has their own service technicians, the Buyer may appoint their own qualified personnel to attend the matter albeit on the basis that any costs incurred are pre-agreed by both parties.
In some instances, the Company’s preference may be to appoint a member of their own team to undertake the required work, OR
If it is agreed that none of the above-mentioned options are workable, an offer to replace the affected product/s will be made.
