To be eligible, the issue must be reported within 7 days of delivery.

We do not accept returns for:

• custom or personalized items unless they are defective

• normal variation in wood grain, color, figure, or other natural characteristics

• wear from normal use

• damage caused by misuse, improper handling, storage conditions, or modifications

• shipping damage that is not reported promptly with photos

How to report an issue

If you believe your item has a defect, please contact us within 7 days of delivery and include:

• your order number

Once we review the information, we will let you know whether the item qualifies under this policy. If it does, we may choose to:

• repair the item

• replace the item

• accept a return and issue a refund
