SFU has negotiated freight rates with furniture-only carriers, but we are able to accommodate pick ups with your preferred Freight Carrier (if it is a furniture specialized carrier.)

 

Transit Times: Estimated transit times are 5-10 working days from the date of pick up for mainland USA. SFU can provide the phone number and tracking number(s) for orders after pick ups so the customer can contact trucking company directly for Estimated Delivery Dates. SFU cannot be liable for monetary loss or damages incurred by delayed delivery or extended transit times, even if SFU suggests carrier.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

PACKAGING 

All our items are packed using foam wrap, corner blocks, and stretch wrap and cartoned in a box or with out. Live Edge Dining Tables and Occasional Tables: foam wrap, corner blocks, corrugated wrap and stretch wrap (no box).

 

PRODUCT INSPECTION

 

Product from our facilities is being packed in a manner to arrive to our dealers in good condition. A final touch up and deluxing is expected from our dealers prior to delivering to the final customer. SFU does not accept responsibility for freight or any other costs incurred from Dealer’s failure to inspect items before delivery.

 

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

 

Each individual piece in our furniture Collections is made to replicate antique/reclaimed wood parts and pieces, which means each item is unique. To provide this look, cracks, knots, knotholes, splits and uneven rubbed edges are purposely left intact from original pieces of wood and in many instances additional man-made distressing is given to emphasize its rustic charm. These are not product defects but unique features that add beauty and character.

 

Accordingly, expansion or shrinkage, small cracks and wood imperfection are inherent qualities of our product. Variation is what makes each piece unique, natural and exclusive.

 

PRODUCT FINISH

 

Since differences in the natural wood color and grain do affect the finish, it is impossible to guarantee an exact match between two pieces of wood even though identical finishing processes are used. These differences in wood finishes are not defects, but variations that make each piece unique and distinctive.

 

The purchase of our product by the Dealer implies a full understanding of the inherent imperfections if SFU’s hand made product line, as well as the effect that climatic conditions have on this type of furniture, and it is the Dealer’s responsibility to communicate this to their customer.
