After passing the inspection, your order will be shipped to you free of charge by forwarding agent.

The packages in your order are numbered. Please assemble the furniture according to the numbering and start with the first package. Assemble from left to right.

If the compartments are not at the same height, it is possible that the stringers have been twisted. Please check the gap dimensions as well as the arrangement of the compartments.

Complaint

1. What happens after my complaint?

If your complaint is about transport damage, we will try to have the damaged parts remade as quickly as possible. If you would like to keep the parts, we are also happy to offer a discount. If errors have occurred during production, we will clarify the case with our producers.

4. Can I return my order?

As we do not have any stock items and each piece of furniture is made individually for the customer, we unfortunately cannot take back custom-made furniture. We ask for your understanding.
