Colour Reproduction

Every reasonable care has been taken to ensure that the colour reproductions are accurate; however due to monitor limitations, there may be slight colour variations.

As all upholstered products come under the “Made-to-order” category, please ensure that your fabric choice is correct at point of order, as this cannot be changed under any circumstances. Once we have received your order, your choice is deemed to be accepted and cannot be cancelled. All our upholstery fabrics are made to “Medium Hazard to Ignition level 5”.
