The Furniture Club warrants our furniture to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery or pick-up. The warranty is limited to the original purchaser with a copy of the original Order Form or Tax Invoice. Visible surface damage (scratches, chips and tears), along with any breakages and cracks with glass and marble products are not covered under this unless reported within the first twenty-four (24) hours after delivery or pick-up. The Furniture Club is not responsible for visible surface damage to products as well as any breakages of glass and marble products that are picked up from our store unless it is noted at the original time of pick up. The warranty is VOID if the merchandise has been moved from the original delivery address or if The Furniture Club determines the furniture damage was caused by any form of physical damage, abuse, accident, or if used for purposes other than those intended, such as commercial use. Please note that warranty is not provided for items that are marked or listed under ‘As-Is’ condition. Proof of purchase (dated receipt) is required for all Warranty claims.

If the location of the delivery is not accessible by our delivery truck, it is your responsibility to provide transportation from the truck to the location of delivery. If your order is undeliverable for any reason, the furniture will not be delivered, and be brought back to our warehouse. The item will then have to be picked up by the customer from our warehouse to avoid any storage fees. All furniture is only delivered to the ground floor. Any request for furniture to be delivered above ground floor will incur a charge of $80. If the movers have difficulty placing an item in the area of your choosing due to limitations such as narrow hallways, stairways, corners or ceiling heights, or have difficulty accessing the premise due to narrow doorways, the items will be placed in another area of your home such as the garage. If you insist the deliverers move an item to a location of your choosing, you will be responsible for any resulting damages to the furniture and to the premise that may be caused during the course of the moving.
