A 50% deposit payment is required to secure your order, you will need to pay the balance of your account when we deliver your furniture. This can be made either by a Building Society Draft or Bankers Draft, which should be made payable to "Matthew Timms Limited".

It may be too big, or too small, the colour may be too loud, or too subdued. You may even wish you'd chosen a different colour. Whatever the reason, if you're not delighted with your choice, you have 21 days to let us know and we'll collect the item(s) and refund your money, less any collection costs.
2) Assuming you are happy with your choice, and assuming fair wear and tear, every item is then guaranteed for one year against any defect of manufacture or materials.
