Frequently Asked Questions

How can we help?

Products
What grade materials are used during manufacturing?

We use A-grade PU board and MDF from some of South Africa’s best manufacturers. All hardware features an anti-rust coating for lasting quality.

Do items need to be assembled at home?

Our furniture ranges bought in retail stores across the country are mostly already pre-assembled, but we also sell flatpack furniture in-store.

Our online ranges are delivered flatpacked and you need to assemble the items yourself.

Flatpack furniture items are very easy to assemble and come with clear instructions.

What is required for assembly?

We provide clear instructions and all the necessary screws and bolts for hassle-free assembly of all our flatpacked furniture.

You'll only need a Phillips (star) screwdriver. We supply an allen key.

What is the best treatment of furniture items to ensure that they last longer?
  1. Always lift your furniture, instead of pushing or pulling.
  2. Keep doors and drawers secure.
  3. Clean with a damp cloth and avoid chemicals or furniture oil. 
  4. Use water sparingly to prevent water damage. Excessive water will cause damage, voiding the warranty.
Can furniture dimensions and designs be customised?

We will gladly provide a quotation for customisation, if the quantities are sufficient. Please contact us with your needs.

Where do I find the assembly instructions?

Your product is delivered with clear and easy-to-follow assembly instructions.

You can also download the PDF, as well as link to the assembly video from the product page on this website – where you've purchased the product.

The pamphlet delivered with your product also contains a QR code, which you can scan to access the assembly video.

If you still need help, please don't hesitate to contact us.

How can I watch the assembly video after purchasing an item?

You can access the assembly video in two ways:

  1. Scan the QR code provided in the assembly instructions to be directed to the YouTube video.
  2. When viewing the product page, you will find a link to the assembly video just below the "Buy Now" and "Add to Cart" buttons.

  3. Repairs will only start after your approval.
  4. You’ll be contacted once the repairs are completed, and goods will only be released after payment.
