Approval Service

If you are interested in an item of our stock, but you are just not sure whether or not it will look right in that alcove, or whether or not the colour matches that chest of drawers you already have, then do not fear... we have vans regularly traveling throughout the UK and are pleased to offer any prospective clients our approval service. As long as it has been pre-arranged with ourselves then we will bring the piece to your home and if it is not as described or looks totally different to how you imagined then we will take it away again for you, usually for no charge at all (for long distances we may require a nominal delivery charge).
