RETRO
My original teak items are carefully selected and revived with utmost care. But remember, they are preloved vintage pieces; please expect characterful imperfections and not a factory modern finish.
This piece remains in lovely vintage condition throughout. It has been sensitively cleaned, the top surface has been stripped back and newly refinished, and all of the exterior surfaces have been reoiled to nourish and enhance the beautiful grain. The drawers all open and close effortlessly, exactly as they should, and are in good condition inside. The famous red G Plan foil sticker is still present inside the top left drawer.
There are a few superficial blemishes to the left side panel and some minor nicks here and there along the curved edges - nothing unexpected considering the piece's age. The top surface and drawer fronts are in near perfect condition, and definitely steal the show!

DELIVERY
For a courier quote, please send me a message with your full postcode, before you buy - the cost will vary, depending on your location.
I work with several specialist couriers, whom I trust fully with my furniture, and my customers! They work to specific routes across the UK, so a degree of flexibility with delivery dates and times will be required. They will keep you fully informed with a time slot in advance and a more accurate ETA on your delivery day. Assistance may be required with lifting.
Alternatively, but at your own risk, you are welcome to arrange your own collection from me in Brighton.

CARING FOR YOUR PIECE
It will be important to treat your vintage piece with care, to keep it looking its best for years more to come. Always ensure any items placed on to the surfaces are clean and not sticky underneath, use mats and coasters where possible and wipe away any spillages immediately with a soft cloth. Use a soft cloth to dust and avoid silicone-based polishes.

Please note, I cannot accept responsibility for any damage caused to your piece, once it is in your care.
