Furniture FAQs

Before buying furniture, it is important customers confirm the measurements of their room as well as all access points before placing the order. Measurement details for each furniture item are displayed on their individual product information page in the following way: H x W x D cms or L x W x H cms.

Certain furniture items are fully assembled on arrival and it’s important to check that they will fit into the proportion of the room. We advise customers to check the item will fit through doorways, hallways and up stairs without damaging paintwork or windows. If our delivery team cannot get the furniture item into the house, they will need to return to us at the customer’s expense.

A useful way to check whether furniture will fit in a particular room is to map out the space using masking tape or newspaper. With dining tables, we would advise at least 60cm (24in) clearance from the chair when it’s out from the table to sit comfortably. When replacing older furniture, mark out the area of the new piece compared to the existing piece to check the difference in size.

Certain larger items of furniture are delivered to home addresses in the Republic of Ireland by our 2 man delivery partner. Orders are normally delivered in 5 to 7 working days from the order date. If a customer buys additional non-furniture items as part of their order, all items will arrive as part of the furniture delivery.

The delivery company will contact customers by phone to arrange delivery date. Furniture will be delivered to the room of choice (where possible). Any unpacking, assembly of furniture or removal of waste or packaging is not the responsibility of the delivery team.
