Does the furniture require assembly?
Most items of furniture are delivered fully assembled. Some items do require assembly and are described as such on the individual product page. Our delivery drivers are not able to assemble furniture.
Is the furniture suitable for conservatories?
The Seville Wicker, Lloyd Loom, All weather ranges are perfect for conservatories. Our customers do also place wooden furniture in conservatories without experiencing problems; although we cannot recommend this, because the effects of direct sunlight and higher temperatures can be detrimental to the furniture.
