Once an order is placed, any change or cancellation is subject to our approval based on where the item is in production or scheduling. We charge a minimum cancellation or order change fee of 20% or more based on any special order where special materials or special cutting are required. Our furniture is handcrafted and generally built when ordered therefore production times may vary. Generally, production times run 4-6 weeks. If you need delivery on a specified date please discuss this with us prior to ordering. We normally try to complete orders, in the order they are received however, sometimes we are able to expedite production by placing a single piece in with another order. Custom orders are not returnable except in the case of broken or damaged items. Custom cut logs and log products are not cancellable or refundable once we have selected your products from our stock or pulled material from our our warehouse or yard. Unless you pay a hand selection fee, all logs are selected “Run of the Yard” this means that when you place an order, your order will be filled with the first log we find that meets your size criteria. All log sizes are plus or minius, this means that when you specify a size we will do our best to find a log that is within a varible size range, that is if you order a specified diameter log we may send you a log that is slightly larger or smaller than that. If you would like us to select a specific log or log product for special features i.e. character, color, shape or feature, we consider this hand selection. A hand selection fee is charged for this process and the fee is based on your requirements. This fee covers our time and a limited number of photos in locating the item you desire. This fee is non-refundable once we begin looking for your requested product. If you cancel an order with a hand selection fee we will retain any fee for this service you have paid no matter if you have accepted the product or not. We will do our best to provide you with a product that meets your needs, but we cannot guarantee that it can be found, none the less you will be responsible for the fee.

When your order arrives, you will need to inspect the shipment to assure that all packages are there, that there was no damage in transit. Do not sign for packages until you are sure that they have arrived without visible damage and are in good condition.

You must note any such shortage or damage on the bill of lading or delivery ticket. If the driver will not wait for you to inspect shipment you should note this on the freight bill. (Driver would not wait for inspection, received subject to inspection.) Most carriers will not allow claims for damage if it has not been noted on the bill of lading.


We ship all items insured so that any damaged goods will be replaced or repaired if noted at the time of delivery. *Subject to carrier terms and conditions.


If you are unable to inspect the items prior to the driver leaving and you uncover concealed damage you must report the damage to the freight carrier as soon as possible. Although, we cannot be responsible for concealed damage we will help you file a claim with the carrier. Any claim paid will be limited to the amount collected from the carrier.
