5 & 7 Year Guarantees

Please note that our 5 and 7 year guarantees only covers furniture for structural damage (framework), and rust in the UK. Please note our fire pits systems and accessories only suffice a 1 year guarantee. The guarantee applies to all furniture sold by Deccliving.co.uk only, however it does not include the glass, cushion fabric & filling, or stitching supplied with sets.

All Decc guarantees assume that the customer ‘the purchaser’ has followed furniture care guides to ensure they maintain/clean their garden furniture sets in the correct manner. If Decc Furnishings deems that the furniture set hasn’t been maintained or cleaned correctly, then this will void the Decc warranty.

The specification of furniture is made to withstand the weather conditions in the UK, therefore may not be suitable for foreign climates. Extreme temperatures may cause the rattan to contract and expand, consequently leading to damage or cracking. Should the consumer wish to move furniture outside of the UK, Decc Furnishings is not liable for any consequent damage, because of foreign weather conditions.

Decc Furnishings reserves the right to not apply the 5 / 7 Year Guarantee in cases where Decc Furnishings deems inappropriate misuse or in instances where the product/s has been tampered with by a third party. The guarantee will also not apply in instances deemed to be fair wear and tear. The 5 / 7 year guarantee is the maximum period covered and any replacement orders provided do not re-start the guarantee period. The guarantee begins from the date of dispatch.

Rattan Colour & Pattern Variation

Please note many of our rattan weave ranges are made up of varying colour strands. These variations can look slightly different once in your garden dependent on the level of sunlight. In the morning some ranges may look a little more grey and in the afternoon may pick out more beige tones. All of our photos have been taken in different settings and lighting. Due to the furniture being handwoven, no two items will be identical.
