A. Due to their designs the painted glassware ranges are not dishwasher safe.

 

Q.Why isn’t your full range on website?
A. Although we do try to have as many lines as possible featured on website sometimes this is not possible due to the fragile nature or availability of products.

 

Q. Will you price match furniture?
A. We will certainly look at price matching our furniture although other retailers sell similar ranges that are not identical so we would be unable to match on those occasions, other retailers might also have actual lower prices but when you come to checkout there is a large delivery charge, we keep our prices low to start with and included free delivery.


Q. What is your company policy regarding Waste disposal of Electrical and Electronic Equipment?
