Should there be anything wrong with the installations or cabinets or any damage during the delivery or installation, this will be witnessed by yourself and the delivery team. An email will be sent to the purchaser to verify that you are satisfied with the install, upon response via email constitutes acceptance of the installation.
5.2 Please ensure you are present when the installation is completed, so you yourself can do the actual inspection whilst the delivery team is still present, if you aren’t able to be there in person and should the item(s) need to be returned for any reason, a call-out to modification will be charged.

6. Care and maintenance
6.1 Care for wooden items with regular furniture spray, hard solid wood needs regular oiling with good oil.
6.3 Do not place any hot items on melamine, veneer or wooden surfaces.
6.4 Wooden items being a natural product, will be susceptible to expansion and contraction especially with the fluctuating hot and cool temperatures. Softwoods such as pine / pallet pine wood (softwoods) have a higher risk of cracking due to the higher absorbency.
6.7 If there is any damage to the item(s) after the day of delivery and acceptance, we cannot be held liable for that damage and there will be an additional cost for call-out and repair work required.
7. Wood Choices
7.1 Please ensure you are fully aware and well informed of wood or type choices unless you rather opt for a veneer / laminate instead of solid natural wood.
7.2 Pallet wood / Pine wood in particular – if you opt for the cheaper options such as pine or pallet pine (recycled wood) they are lower in cost for the reason that they are softwoods thus not as durable and withstanding compared with any of the other hardwoods.
7.3 Veneer/laminate options also pose risks of the inside material being chipboard to be susceptible to swelling if exposed to moisture, for instance, so please also be sure of the choice to use one of these materials depending on what the purpose of the item being built will be and what would be most suitable.
7.4 All wood types have different structures, grain and properties so be sure that you select the preferred wood type for the purpose of the item you want to be built.
