6. Cancellations, Returns & Refunds

As a small, family-run business dealing in quality used and antique furniture, each piece we sell is unique and sold as-is. We do our best to describe and photograph items accurately so you can buy with confidence. Because of the nature of used furniture, all sales are generally final.

Return Shipping
