  • We use a trusted courier for all of our deliveries and price is variable depending on the size of your order and is calculated at checkout. You are of course welcome to collect your chairs from our workshop or arrange your own courier should you wish.

  • Our chairs are finished with a Mylands Clear wax polish, which will protect from stains and small spills. Simply wipe anything off quickly with a damp cloth. If you feel like it needs a top up, any wax based finish will be sufficient.

    The rushes are a naturally stain resistant material, any spills can just be wiped off with a damp cloth. Please note: Rushes are a natural fibre and if left in a cold damp environment are at risk of going mouldy. Please take care when storing long term.
