At Improvements, we're committed to providing products that perform as promised. If you're not happy with your purchase for any reason, let us know and we'll make it right. Simply return it within 90 days and we'll gladly replace it (providing the product is in stock) or refund your money (excluding S&H). The choice is yours. In addition, for up to a year from the date of purchase, you can exchange any item for the same product (providing it is in stock) or for a merchandise credit in the form of a gift certificate.

Exceptions:

  • Holiday merchandise returns will not be accepted after 30 days from the date of purchase.
  • Any products that are monogrammed, customized or made-to-order cannot be returned or exchanged unless damaged or defective.

How to Return or Exchange an Item

To return an item, simply fill out the Exchange/Return form printed on the back of the packing slip enclosed with your package. Then return that form to us, along with your item(s), by either using the UPS return label included (fee will be deducted from your refund/exchange), or using the carrier of your choice. If you no longer have your packing slip, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-634-9484.

EASY RETURNS

If your purchase qualifies for an easy return, a return label has been provided with your shipment. Simply follow these easy steps:

  1. Complete the exchange/return section on the reverse side of your packing slip and include it with the items you are sending back.
  2. Affix the UPS return label (located on the front of the pack slip) over the original shipping label on your package and reseal it for shipment. Retain the UPS/ARS tracking number for your records.
  3. Drop the package with a UPS driver or UPS Store.

If you are returning merchandise for a refund or exchanging an item, the fee for using this label is $8.95, which will be deducted from your total refund. If you are returning an item because it is damaged or defective, there will be NO CHARGE for using the label. If you prefer, you may use the standard return label on the packing slip and pay for your own shipping via the carrier of your choice.

THRU-THE-DOOR SHIPMENTS

Currently, return labels are not sent for items that ship directly from the manufacturer, items that weigh greater than 50 lbs., or items that require Truck or In-Home return service.

If your order was delivered via Truck or In-Home Service, please call us at 1-800-634-9484 to schedule a return pickup. We'll coordinate the pickup of any large Truck or In-Home item for return.

The buttons that fit over the screw holes are plastic and the wood like finish came off when pressing them in the screw holes. Just not any king of paint will stick to plastic. I recommend wood buttons.

The quality of the workmanship and ease of assembly is very good. There was a divot on one of the pieces as it probably could use better packaging so it doesn't get damaged in transit. My real objection is th the cheap plastic plugs that are used to cover the screw holes. The wood quality is excellent but the cheap plastic plugs had the stain finish flake off quite a few. For a piece of this quality, wood plugs should be used and appropriately stained.

The chair/stool went together well and although there are a couple of errors in the instructions, it wasn't hard to figure out what to do. To rate durability, I will have to wait to see how it holds up with use.

I had a stool like this years ago but hadn't seen another like it until now. Sturdy and much more attractive than metal stools. Works great for an extra chair too.
