Return, Exchange, and Refund Policy
Return and Exchange Eligibility Period
You have 45 calendar days from the date of physical receipt to request a return or exchange. Requests submitted after 45 days from the delivery confirmation date will not be eligible for standard commercial returns or exchanges.
Commercial Order Cancellation
If you wish to cancel your order, you may submit a cancellation request within 48 hours of placing it. However, if the order has already entered the packing, dispatch, or shipping stage, it cannot be cancelled directly; in this case, please proceed with the standard 45-day return/exchange process after receiving the package.
Commercial After-Sales Procedure
For after-sales return requests, customers may provide the order number and relevant details, and we will assist with processing based on the order status and applicable conditions.
Commercial Refund and Extended Commitments
For validated commercial returns or withdrawals initiated within 45 days, we will refund the full purchase price along with the lowest standard delivery fee originally paid within 1 to 5 business days following our receipt and inspection of the returned merchandise. Furthermore, we voluntarily provide a 6-year structural and compliance guarantee, offering free repair, free replacement, or subsequent remedy when qualifying conditions are met.
United States Order Commitments and Scope
The 6-year structural guarantee provided for orders in the United States represents our voluntary commercial commitment. We strictly honor and fulfill all voluntary commitments and promises made to our customers, ensuring continuous structural support throughout the stated period.
Inquiry/Complaint Response Timelines vs. Resolution Timelines
Customer communication is handled promptly. Upon receiving any customer complaint or inquiry, our team will provide an initial response within 24 to 48 hours, and an official formal resolution reply no later than 45 days from receipt. This response timeline is strictly distinct from the time required to complete physical repairs, arrange replacements, or process financial refunds.
Two-Year Quality Responsibility and Extended Protection
-
Two-Year Quality Responsibility: We assume product quality responsibility for a period of 2 years, starting from the exact date of product delivery.
-
Separate Voluntary Commitment: The 6-year structural guarantee is a distinct, self-funded commercial commitment separate from the 2-year quality responsibility and separate from applicable claim limitation periods.
Framework of Responsibilities and Baseline Dates
To maintain consistency and transparency:
-
2-Year Quality Responsibility: Commences on the date of product delivery.
-
6-Year Voluntary Commercial Structural Protection: Commences on the date of product delivery and covers the core load-bearing frames, joinery, and internal structure of indoor furniture.
-
Claim Period: Any claim regarding non-conformity must be submitted within the applicable limitation period following the emergence of the issue.
Clarification of Responsibility Periods
The 2-year quality responsibility period addresses defects or non-conformities existing at delivery. It operates independently from our voluntary 6-year structural commitment, ensuring that fundamental customer entitlements and extended commercial promises remain clearly defined and properly honored.
Refund Conditions and Return Cost Disclosure
-
Defective / Non-Conforming Items: If an item exhibits quality defects, transport damage, or does not match specifications, return shipping is completely free of charge. Full payment plus initial standard delivery fees will be refunded.
-
Voluntary / Remorse Returns: When initiating a 45-day return without product defect, the customer is responsible for the return freight. The return shipping cost will be deducted directly from your refund based on the prepaid return label provided.
Latent (Hidden) Defects Protection
Latent (hidden) defects are concealed manufacturing flaws that existed upon delivery but could not be discovered through reasonable initial inspection:
-
The claim timeline for latent defects commences strictly on the date the defect is discovered (or reasonably should have been discovered).
-
This protection operates independently from the delivery-based conformity warranty.
Latent Defects Protection vs. Commercial Structural Guarantee
These two systems are distinct:
-
Latent Defects Protection: Covers pre-existing, concealed manufacturing flaws discovered during regular indoor use, with the timeline commencing on the date of discovery.
-
Commercial Structural Guarantee: A voluntary 6-year guarantee commencing on the date of delivery, protecting the primary structural integrity and frame stability against ordinary failure under normal indoor residential use.
Return Scope, Logistics Execution, and Bulky Freight Estimates
-
Items must be shipped back to our designated facility within the established return window.
-
Shipping Fee Allocation: We bear return freight for defective or incorrect items; customers bear freight for remorse returns.
-
Bulky Indoor Furniture Freight Estimate: For standard large indoor furniture, return shipping freight generally ranges between $50.00 and $150.00 depending on package volume, weight, and transit distance within the continental United States.
Freight Cap and Prepaid Return Label Deductions
-
Maximum Freight Cap: For remorse returns of bulky furniture, the deduction for using our return label will not exceed $180.00 per item.
-
Deduction Method: Every shipment includes a prepaid return shipping label. In cases of remorse return, using this label will result in the actual incurred freight (capped at $180.00) being deducted directly from the refund balance. If the return is due to quality defects or our error, no freight deduction will occur.
Physical Return Deadline
Following your formal notification to return or withdraw, you must hand over the parcel to the designated carrier no later than 45 days from the date of your notification.
Complaint Review vs. Execution Timelines
-
Complaint Response: We will formally respond to inquiries and complaints within 45 days of receipt.
-
Execution Time: Physical inspection, parts replacement, repairs, or refund execution are handled separately. Once an approved return arrives at our facility, refunds are finalized within 1 to 5 business days.
Return and Exchange Conditions
Items are eligible for return or exchange under the following circumstances:
- Cosmetic/Appearance Issues: Surface blemishes, chips, scratches, or finish imperfections noted upon unboxing.
- Quality/Functional Defects: Structural instability, defective hardware, or broken load-bearing components.
- Odor or Severe Color Discrepancy: Pungent, unacceptable odors or substantial color deviations from the product images.
- Incorrect Item Received: The delivered piece does not match the purchased model, dimension, or specification.

Please inspect the exterior packaging carefully upon delivery.

If severe exterior damage, crushed boxes, or open packaging are visible, please make a note on the carrier’s delivery receipt and take clear photographs or videos before opening.
-
Verify all parts and hardware against the assembly instructions before assembly.

Due to the size and weight of indoor furniture pieces, our carriers cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes, APO, FPO, or DPO military addresses. A valid physical street address is required for all shipments.
Delays Due to Unforeseen Circumstances
While we make every effort to deliver within the estimated timeframes, shipments may occasionally experience unexpected delays caused by severe weather events, national holidays, road closures, or logistics bottlenecks. In such cases, we will actively communicate with carriers to keep you updated.
