General Return Reasons:
Product Quality Issues or Shipping Damage

All such returns are subject to review and approval.

Shipping Costs & Returns
Pre-Delivery Cancellation & Refunds
Orders may be canceled prior to entering the final stage of delivery. In such cases, a 5% bank processing fee will apply.
Once an order has moved into final-mile delivery, cancellations are no longer available. However, we’re happy to assist with a return request within 30 days of delivery, subject to the terms below.
Returns for Non-Quality Reasons
If a return is requested for reasons unrelated to product quality or damage, we’ll work with you to coordinate the process. In these cases, the following will apply:
-
Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.
-
Any applicable warehousing and handling fees may apply.
-
A 25% restocking fee will be deducted from the refund, which includes the original outbound shipping cost.
These situations may include, for example:
-
The item is not the right fit for your space.
-
Natural variations in color, tone, or scale.
-
Order placed in error.
-
Preference or change of mind.
* Final return handling and shipping charges will be calculated based on the actual invoice issued by the receiving warehouse.
Exchanges
If you’d like to exchange an item for another option, we’re here to help make that process as smooth as possible.
For exchanges requested due to personal preferences or reasons unrelated to product quality, please note:
-
Shipping Costs: The customer is responsible for all exchange-related shipping costs, including the return shipping of the original item and the freight charges for the new replacement item.
-
Handling Fee: A 10% processing fee (calculated based on the total order amount) will be charged. This fee covers, but is not limited to, re-stocking, labor, and additional warehousing administrative costs.
-
Shipment Processing: The replacement item will be processed as a new shipment once the returned item is received and the above fees are settled.
Friendly Note
We always recommend reviewing product details and dimensions carefully before placing your order. If you have any questions, our team is happy to assist you in selecting the right piece for your space.
Inspection & Damage Reporting
Upon delivery, all customers—regardless of whether White Glove service is selected—are responsible for inspecting the item at the time of unboxing to ensure it is complete and in proper condition.
If any damage or quality issues are identified, we strongly recommend refusing the delivery. If refusal is not possible, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery.
When reporting an issue, please provide:
- Your order number
- Clear photos of the damaged item
- Photos of the outer packaging, including any visible damage
Reports submitted after 48 hours may affect the outcome of the claim. Issues reported beyond this timeframe may be considered as not related to product defects or shipping damage. In such cases, the item may be deemed accepted as delivered, and claims may be limited.
As an exception, if you still require a brand-new replacement after this timeframe, an additional processing fee totaling 10% of the original order amount will be charged to cover handling, re-inspection, and restocking costs.
