Know What You Are Ordering
Internet shopping is largely based on comparative shopping for an item you have seen elsewhere. When possible, it is advantageous to view the product in person before ordering or to order a sample piece to view before placing a large order. If you are unsure of what you are ordering, particularly in respect to the finish, call us toll free at 877-660-5625 to discuss your order and avoid any unnecessary return fees or shipping charges.
