This confirmation of Order is used by the production department to make your item(s) of furniture. If you feel you have made a mistake in full or in part of your order, and do want to cancel, or make amendments to your order, we will accept phone call cancellations and amendments, followed by a cancellation in writing with the details of any amendments required.
