Wood and Stone are natural materials. Each trunk has its own colour and structure. Differences in shade or gloss on our wood sample collection are no reason for claims. Since wood is a natural material, slight colour differences may be possible. Solidwood parts cannot always be manufactured in the same characteristic. If items are bought in different times, there may be colour and shade differences.

As all computer screens differ in colour, contrast and brightness, we cannot guarantee that the colour shown on your computer screen will entirely match the colour of the product you are ordering. In many cases we are able to offer material samples free of charge.
