Furniture Returns Policy
As stated on each furniture product page, all furniture purchases are final. Please take the time to thoroughly research the products before proceeding through checkout.
We understand that occasionally items are purchased that do not fit our customers’ needs. If this is the case, please contact our customer service team immediately so we can correct the purchase prior to the item being shipped from our warehouse. If the warehouse has processed the order, we may not be able to cancel or change the item on the order.
If the item is found to be damaged during shipping, and you notice the damage upon delivery and/or inspection, do not sign nor take possession of the item. If delivery is accepted but you notice damage shortly after, provide pictures of the damaged box and product within the first 48 hours. Carriers only allow two business days to file a freight claim. Contact our customer service team immediately to report damages.
If there is no physical damage but the item has a defect that hinders its usability for the purpose of which it was designed, please contact us immediately to have this resolved with the manufacturer.

Q: What's the guy's name on first base?
On occasion, you may receive a damaged or defective product. Whenever this happens, we will take care of you. Just let us know and we'll make sure to get you a replacement as quickly as possible. Below, you'll find the steps to our replacement process, along with frequently asked questions.
Step 1
You first need to file a return request here or login to your account and go to the "My Orders" section. After filing your request, we will review it. Replacement requests sometimes require us to verify the specifics of the damage or defect, so one of our customer service agents may need to contact you for more information. Once we've assessed what is needed to resolve your replacement request, we will send out the appropriate replacement(s) as quickly as possible. If the original item is required back, we will email you with return instructions and prepaid return labels so that you can send back the damaged or defective merchandise.

If you are NOT required to ship your damaged product(s) back, go to STEP 4. If you ARE required to send your product(s) back then prepare your products for shipment by making sure the merchandise is in its original packaging. Apply the prepaid labels provided in your instructions.

Once your product is ready for shipment, you can take it to a local carrier facility and drop it off with the prepaid labels on the box (the label will specify the carrier). Please ensure that the "RGA" number that was provided with the instructions is on the return label (if it isn't there, please add it to the label - please do not write on the actual box).
Step 4
Your replacement request will be processed immediately at no charge. You will get updates via email from us once the replacement request is confirmed and shipped, including tracking information once shipped.

To qualify for a defective return, one of the following must apply:

- Incorrect item was received
No. We do not charge restocking fees.
An RGA (Returned Goods Authorization) number is simply a way for us to track return transactions. When you request a return, we will process your request and issue an RGA number with your return instructions. This information will be sent to you by email. No returns will be accepted without an RGA number.
Unfortunately, no, clearance items are confirmed discontinued goods by the manufacturer. They are discounted in price and considered final sales. We state "non-returnable" on both the product page as well as the confirmation email for clearance items to prevent any confusion or issues.
Once the merchandise is received back at our warehouse, it will be inspected. Upon inspection approval, you will be refunded and notified via email. We estimate credit will be issued within 5-10 business days from the day the item is received back.
If your original order is older than 90 days, we will have to issue a refund via check. All check refunds will be sent to the same billing address provided on the order, and are typically issued within 14 days of final approval of the return.
We recommend never to refuse a shipment. If something is returned to the warehouse that is not expected, it may not be allocated properly or tied back to your order.
If you refused your shipment, it can take 2-4 weeks to receive credit, if the warehouse finds the item, and it's not damaged. If the item is not located or it's received damaged, credit will be denied. A restocking fee of 25% may apply to any refused shipment.
