We aim to provide accurate product descriptions, images, dimensions, colours, condition notes and stock information. However, minor differences may occur due to lighting, screen settings, product batches, pre-loved item condition, refurbished parts, measurement tolerance or supplier updates.

Used, refurbished and pre-loved furniture

Used, refurbished and pre-loved furniture may show normal signs of use, such as light scratches, scuffs, marks, upholstery wear, minor dents or cosmetic differences. These do not normally affect functionality and are not considered defects unless specifically agreed in writing.

Customised, made-to-order, special-order and project furniture may not be cancellable or returnable once production, procurement, modification or reservation has started, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Delivery and related services are subject to our Delivery Terms. Customers are responsible for ensuring that the delivery address, contact details, building access, lift access, loading bay access and site readiness are accurate and available at the scheduled time.

  • Additional charges may apply for staircase carry, restricted access, failed delivery, re-delivery, waiting time, after-hours delivery, dismantling, installation, disposal or special handling.
  • Customers should check building management rules, lift booking requirements, loading bay timing and permit requirements before delivery.
  • Howfine is not responsible for delays caused by inaccurate information, unavailable recipients, restricted access, building rules, weather, traffic, supplier delays or events outside our reasonable control.

Returns, refunds, exchanges and warranty claims are handled according to our Return Policy and Warranty Policy. Eligibility may depend on product type, item condition, usage, packaging, delivery timing, claim evidence and whether the item was new, used, refurbished, clearance, custom-made, assembled or installed.
