Limited Warranty, Returns & Exchanges
Our Promise to You
THIS IS A LIMITED WARRANTY
At Elementto, we stand behind every piece we make. Our furniture is crafted with care using quality materials and skilled craftsmanship. This document explains what we cover, for how long, and what to do if something isn’t right.
Warranty Coverage
Elementto guarantees that our products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal conditions of use, for the period described below, starting from the date of delivery.
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary by state. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties or exclusions of incidental or consequential damages, so some of the limitations below may not apply to you. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any implied warranties — including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose — are limited to the duration of this Limited Warranty.
What Is Covered
- Manufacturing defects — failures in the production process that affect the normal function of the product.
- Material defects — use of raw materials that do not meet Elementto’s declared quality standards.
- Incorrect orders — if your item(s) are delivered in the wrong species, style, or size (outside a permissible variance of 0.25 inches), we will gladly replace them at no cost to you.
✔ If your product fails within the warranty period due to a manufacturing or material defect, Elementto will take action at no cost to you.
What Is Not Covered
The following are excluded from warranty coverage:
- Damage from misuse, or use different from the intended purpose of the product.
- Damage caused by accidents, drops, impacts, extreme humidity, fire, or natural disasters.
- Cosmetic damage — scratches, discoloration, or surface marks that do not affect product function.
- Normal wear and tear from everyday use over time.
- Modifications or repairs made by anyone not authorized by Elementto.
- Damage caused by not following Elementto’s care and maintenance instructions.
- Products purchased from unauthorized resellers.
- Pest, insect, or termite damage occurring after delivery. All Elementto products are manufactured using kiln-dried lumber and meet applicable phytosanitary standards. Any infestation arising from the customer’s environment after delivery is not covered under this warranty.
- Clearance items — all clearance products are sold as-is and are excluded from this warranty.
- Products shipped or relocated outside of the continental United States. Additional fees may apply if delivery is requested from a location other than the original delivery address.
About Our Wood Furniture
Elementto’s furniture is handcrafted from solid, authentic wood. Because every piece of wood is unique, natural variations are a normal and expected characteristic of our products — not defects.
These natural characteristics include, but are not limited to:
- Grain patterns, color variation — each piece will look slightly different from product photos.
- Knots and small holes, which are filled with epoxy as part of our standard finishing process.
- Cracks — natural cracks in the wood are filled with epoxy, stabilized with bowties or our signature “zipper” to prevent the crack from growing. A crack may measure up to 0.25 inches and is considered a normal characteristic, not a defect. Other cracks we live open as a design characteristic.
- Wood movement — solid wood naturally expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity. This does not affect structural integrity and is not considered a defect.
- Other characteristics inherent to handcrafted solid wood furniture, including distress marks, exposed hardware, wood filler marks, joint lines, and other minor surface imperfections.
Due to the custom, handcrafted nature of our furniture, we allow a permissible variance of up to 0.25 inches across all measurements. This tolerance applies to all dimensions and is not considered a defect or grounds for return.
While we make every effort to provide accurate photos of our finished pieces, each piece created is unique. With all of our products being handcrafted with solid lumber, no two pieces are exactly alike. The uniqueness of every piece of Elementto furniture — shaped by our skilled craftspeople — should be celebrated for its one-of-a-kind nature.
💡 To keep your furniture in the best condition, we recommend maintaining indoor humidity between 30–40% year-round (a humidifier may be required, especially in winter or dry climates). Avoid placing wood furniture in direct sunlight or near heat sources for extended periods. Care guides are available upon request.

Depending on the situation, we will repair, replace, or refund your product at no cost to you.
Warranty Solutions
If your warranty claim is valid, we offer the following resolutions — the appropriate solution depends on the nature of the defect:
- Repair — we repair the defective product at no cost to you, within a reasonable timeframe.
- Replacement — if repair is not possible, we replace the product with an identical or equivalent item at no cost.
- Refund — if neither repair nor replacement is possible, we refund the original purchase price.
Delivery Inspection & Damage Claims
It is your responsibility to thoroughly inspect your product at the time of delivery, before the delivery team leaves. Our delivery team will ask you to sign a receipt confirming that the product was received in good condition.
- Any damage must be identified and noted on the delivery receipt before signing. Once the receipt is signed without noted damage, the product is considered received in good condition.
- Damage discovered after the delivery receipt has been signed clean will be considered customer damage and is not covered under this warranty or eligible for return.
- If transit damage or a manufacturer defect is confirmed, the purchase price, applicable taxes, and delivery fees will be fully refunded. Delivery fees are not refunded for standard returns.
If you believe your product has a manufacturing or material defect discovered after delivery, this may be covered under our Limited Warranty — see Warranty Coverage above.
