Returns & Warranty

A clear, fair returns process, and a straightforward warranty on the craft behind every piece.

We take incredible pride in the craftsmanship of our solid wood furniture, and we want you to absolutely love the pieces you bring into your home. We also know that sometimes a piece might not be the perfect fit for your space once it arrives — and that's completely okay!

If you aren't completely happy with your Better Wood & Home purchase, we gladly accept returns on eligible items within 30 days of delivery.

01

You've Got 30 Days

Changed your mind? You have 30 days from delivery to request a return. Take your time (but not too much time!).

02

Return Shipping Made Easy

We know shipping heavy furniture can be a hassle. You don't have to coordinate with freight carriers yourself — our team will happily generate a return shipping label for you.

03

Transparent Shipping Costs

Because our pieces are crafted from heavy, real solid wood, return shipping costs naturally vary depending on the size of the item and your location. To keep things transparent, we don't charge any hidden restocking fees. Instead, the exact cost of the carrier's return shipping label will simply be deducted from your final refund.

04

Your Refund

Once your piece safely arrives back at our warehouse in its original condition and packaging, we'll process your refund within 1-3 business days. After we issue your refund, your financial institutions may take additional business days to process the amount.

05

A Few Things We Can't Take Back

Final sale, clearance, customized, or already assembled items, those are yours for keeps. Please make sure a piece is the perfect fit before grabbing the tools, as all returns must be in their original, unassembled condition.

We're always here to help. To start a return just drop us a friendly note at contact@betterwoodhome.com and we'll guide you through the rest.

Natural Characteristics of Wood

Our furniture is made from real wood that is reclaimed and upcycled — variations and imperfections are part of what makes each piece unique. As such, the following natural characteristics are not considered defects and are not eligible for return or replacement:

Wood grain & finish

  • Unique character and hairline grains is naturally and expected in reclaimed and upcycled wood furniture.
  • Variations in tone, grain direction, and finish is normal between pieces, making each piece one of a kind.
  • Distinctive textures, knots, and grain patterns are part of the wood's natural beauty.

Environmental effects

  • Seasonal Wood movement and shifts may occur over time due to temperature and humidity changes.
  • Darken Wood Tone is normal and expected as part of the aging process.
  • Harsh Sunlight may cause discoloration or fading — rotate objects placed on furniture regularly.
  • Heat exposure can damage finishes — avoid placing items near fireplaces, radiators, or heating vents.

Sizing

  • Slight dimensional differences may occur due to wood's natural movement and hand finished production tolerances.

We hope you love the authenticity and character of your Better Wood & Home piece. These natural features are part of what makes real wood furniture timeless and unique.
