ORDERING & PAYMENT

What is the hire order process?

Browse our furniture online and send us an enquiry or quote request through our contact form. Once we confirm availability and pricing, a 50% deposit is required to secure your booking.

Orders can be placed over the phone and paid via bank transfer or debit/credit card (2% fee applies to credit cards). You’ll then receive a secure Adobe Sign confirmation form to review and sign before delivery details are finalised.

 
 
Can I hire furniture for multiple days?

Yes. This is very common for exhibitions, festivals, and multi-day events. Simply let us know how long you would like to hire the furniture for when submitting your quotation request.

What condition is the hire furniture in?

Our furniture is kept in great condition and is regularly refurbished and maintained in our warehouse to ensure it arrives in tip-top condition for every customer. We also refurbish our seat pads to keep them looking fresh and event-ready. All items go through regular quality checks, cleaning, and maintenance before each hire.

Do you provide emergency replacements?

If we have replacement stock available, we will always do our best to provide emergency replacements as quickly as possible to help keep your event running smoothly.

 
 
 
CAN I CHOOSE A BESPOKE SEAT PAD COLOUR?
If you can’t find a suitable colour in our standard range, we offer a bespoke service at a small additional cost. Our bespoke range has hundreds of additional fabric and colour options.
WHAT FRAME FINISHES ARE OFFERED ON HIRE ITEMS?

Each chair frame as a different wood finish, in keeping with the style of the chair. All our chairs are hand-finished in our UK factory.

All our sofas are available in white, black and red leather options for the large two seater or white leather only for the two seater.

CAN YOU DELIVER AT A SPECIFIC TIME?

If you have asked us to deliver (or collect) at a specific time, we will do our best to keep to these times. Our driver, or someone at our office, will call or text you approximately an hour before we arrive. However, please be aware that all times negotiated are traffic dependent.

DO YOU DELIVER AND COLLECT ‘OUT OF HOURS’?

We do! Thanks to the fact we operate our own delivery fleet, we have a certain amount of flexibility with our delivery slots. If you would like an early morning and evening delivery, please speak to us to find out if this is possible.

DO YOU DELIVER ACROSS THE UK?
For hire items, our delivery network is approximately 130 miles away from our units in Shefford. However, for larger orders we can make exceptions; we have been known to deliver hired items to Europe.
DO YOU OFFER A SET-UP AND SET-DOWN SERVICE?
We offer a range of additional services including a set-up and set-down service. There is a small additional charge for this service, so please contact us for more information.
WHAT IS A DAMAGE WAIVER?

A damage waiver is a small fee (4% of total order value) which we charge to cover minor damage which may occur during the use of our furniture. This also covers wear and tear within reason. Please be aware that broken and lost items are not covered by the waiver and, as per our terms and conditions, you will be charged accordingly.

ARE YOU INSURED?
We have our own public liability insurance. If you would like details of our insurance provider, please let us know and we’ll send the details to you.
ARE YOU CHAIRS SUITABLE FOR OUTDOOR USE?
Our wooden and fabric chairs are not recommended for outdoor use. However, our white resin, samsonites and plastic bistro chairs are intended for outdoor use. However, none of our chairs should be left outside under any circumstances.

Each chair not intended for outdoor use that subsequently gets rained upon or damaged will be charged for at our full replacement cost.

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT THE CHAIRS CAN HOLD?
The upper weight limit for any chair is 18 stones or 252lbs.
