Bespoke FAQ's

General

Very accurate we work to a tolerance of 5mm.

We offer 10% off the first purchase when subscribing to our newsletter.

It's a challenge to offer discounts when fully manufacturing in the UK. Bigger companies import products from abroad at much lower costs.

We are extremely transparent on our pricing strategy and even posted a blog highlighting margins here.

We are all about sustainability and believe in 'buy once not twice'. We don't participate in Black Friday / Cyber Monday etc but do have a small range of sale products here.

Pretty much as waterproof as you can get! Unlike most companies that finish with wax, we use a water-based varnish from our partner Littlefairs.

It leaves a beautiful clear satin finish that requires minimal maintenance and protects against all kinds of spillages.

You can read more on Littlefairs here.
