Annoying things that sometimes happen:

• Out of stock fabrics & wallpapers – we will contact you immediately and advise you of your options (i.e. replacement fabric/wallpaper or are you prepared to wait for a new batch of fabric/wallpaper to be made)

• Fabric faults – fabric is woven in large batches and sometimes there can be missing threads and colour inconsistencies in the weaves.  We pride ourselves on quality and where we believe there to be a fault in the fabric we will stop making what you have ordered and get new fabric sent to our workshop.  If this happens it can add a little time to the manufacturing process.  If this happens to part of your order you will be advised immediately

• Wallpaper faults – If the item is faulty or an order error has been made, Kensington Design will arrange a replacement and a collection of the goods. Kensington Design will arrange a full credit to a maximum of invoice value.

• Sunlight Damage – Please note that upholstery and wooden furniture is likely to fade if left in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Double or triple glazed windows are able to slow the rate of damage caused by UV light, but we suggest keeping susceptible items away from direct sunlight.
