TERMS AND CONDITIONS: FIONA MCDONALD bespoke

We produce and supply handmade, bespoke products designed and made in accordance with an agreed specification including furniture, seating, mirrors and lighting.

Placing an Order

  1. You can place an order for a bespoke product by visiting us in-store, at a trade exhibition, by email or by telephone. We will work with you to agree a specification of the product that you would like us to produce and provide you with a quotation for the cost of the product.

  2. Any samples, drawings, illustrations, specifications or quotations that we may produce are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the goods we may supply and the estimated cost. They do not form part of the contract between us and they do not constitute an offer from us.

  3. Once we have agreed on a specification for the product we will send you an invoice requesting a deposit of the purchase price. This deposit is non-refundable. It is your responsibility to ensure that the terms of your order and any applicable specifications are complete and accurate.

  4. Once we have received your deposit, we will confirm acceptance of your order by providing you with a written confirmation by email that your order has been accepted, at which point the contract between us is formed. The contract between us will only be formed when we provide you with this confirmation email.

  5. It is your responsibility to ensure that the terms of your order and any applicable specifications are complete and accurate.

  6. We reserve the right to change our product’s prices at any time without notice. The prices on our quotes and invoices are valid for 30 days.

Specification and Materials

  1. The majority of our furniture is hand crafted, and as a consequence, all sizes are offered as a guide only.

  2. There may be occasions when we need to make minor alterations to the design or specification of a product. We cannot accept these minor changes as faults. If the product is for a specific purpose please be sure to let us know before ordering to ensure we do not make any specific changes that could affect its material usage.

  3. To the extent that we are producing a product that is a recreation of a drawing or image provided by you, we will endeavor to be as accurate as possible when producing the product, however we cannot guarantee that we will produce an exact reproduction.

  4. Bespoke products produced by us are created and finished by hand. We can provide you with wood finish samples on request, but please be aware that these are offered as a guide only. Two pieces of wood are never the same and may vary considerably in character, gloss and tone. While we will endeavor to provide you with as close a match as possible, we cannot guarantee an exact match.

  5. We suggest that if you are ordering two or more products that are intended for the same room, you order them together. This will give you the best chance of obtaining two products that are most closely matched in colour and finish.

  6. Information relating to fabric quantities is set out on our website and is available on request. The quantities supplied are for a standard 137 cm wide fabric and are subject to a small fabric repeat. It will be your responsibility, or the responsibility of your supplier, to ensure that you supply the correct fabric and that the fabric is fit for purpose. You must also ensure that the fabric is supplied to us at the requested time, and you must pay the cost of delivering the fabric to us. We will not accept any liability for any flaw, imperfection or that has been caused as a result of us using defective materials supplied by you.

  7. Certain materials that we use or that you supply to us are susceptible to damage from even light handling. As all our products are handmade, it is inevitable that we will handle all products. We do not accept responsibility for the condition of these materials when they are used to form part of your product.

  8. All upholstery is done by hand using traditional techniques. If your bespoke product has a fabric element and you have a specific requirement regarding the division or junction of that fabric or if your product has buttoning detail and you have specific requirements about the layout of the buttons, it is important that you notify us of this during the ordering process. We will produce a detailed fabric scheme or technical drawing in line with your requirements, although please note you may be charged an additional cost for this. If you do not notify us of your specific requirements, all upholstery will be made at our discretion.

Lead Times

  1. When you place an order for a bespoke product we will provide you with an approximate time-frame for when the goods will be available for delivery or collection. Once the goods are ready we will contact you to notify you that they are ready to be delivered and request payment of the balance of the purchase price (if we have not yet received this). Once we have received payment for the products in full, we will provide you with an approximate time-frame for delivery, or arrange for the product to be collected by you.

  2. If our supply of a bespoke product is delayed by an event outside our control then we will notify you as soon as possible and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we keep you informed of any likely delays, we will not be liable for any costs incurred by you as a result of these delays.
