Should I Pay Taxes?
While additional taxes are generally not applicable, it’s important to note that specific categories of items may be subject to state taxes. If mandated by your state, we are obligated to collect sales tax on relevant items.
How Does Shipping Work for Oversized Items?
Oversized items are large products including most furniture, bathtubs, sofa,
bed, TV-cabinet, big table sinks etc that must ship by Freight Outside Home
Delivery Service due to size or weight.
Delivery of oversized items is limited to the first accessible dry area
outside the home. The truck driver is responsible for delivering the goods
to the agreed-upon location. Customers are required to provide their own
warehouse equipment for unloading, or arrange for additional assistance from
capable adults to transport the items into their homes.
Carrier will call you 24-48 hours prior to delivery to arrange a delivery time that will vary depending on the freight carrier’s schedule. Whatever information you can give during the phone call will be given to the driver to make the delivery easier for them and for you.
Inform the carrier if you have any circumstances that could affect the delivery (additional fees may apply):
-
Very narrow driveway
-
Dead-end street
-
Ferry for island locations, etc. (fees may apply)
-
The driver will need to park in a particular place
-
Delivery to a side door or garage entrance
Under what circumstances do I need to pay additional shipping charges?
Additional delivery charges may apply under the following circumstances:
-
Requesting a change of delivery address after the shipment has been dispatched.
-
Failure to accept delivery within 5 business days of the initial delivery attempt by the shipping company may result in daily storage fees.
-
A second delivery attempt is necessary due to customer non-compliance or rescheduling, requiring payment for the second delivery.
-
Abandonment of goods will incur a disposal fee for waste management.
What Should I Do When I Received a Damaged Item?
-
Upon receipt, please kindly sign the word “damaged” on the proof of delivery (for freight shipping) and inspect your purchase and notify us of any missing parts, faults, damage or incorrect items immediately.
-
Please kindly keep the original packaging, which is essential. You are advised to contact our customer service within 48 hours of receiving your items if there is an issue with the product. such as the lights not working when fitted, faucets leaking while installed, and damage to furniture after opening, please make sure to take some pictures or a quick video demonstrating the problem. Providing pictures of the product, the packaging and the labels on the outside will allow us to greatly speed up the process for you.
-
All product issue inquiries may need to inform us within 14 days of receipt along with the three types of pictures mentioned above, otherwise, after-sales inquiries after 14 days of receipt might be affected negatively due to uncertain factors outside of the time frame.
-
Please note that we do not cover the repair fee if unauthorized handyman services were hired.
-
For orders with fragile items like marble tabletops, bathtubs, ceramic sinks, etc., please inspect the contents upon delivery and record an unpacking video. If any damage occurs, contact our customer support immediately. We’ll expedite returns/exchanges for a quick resolution, minimizing any inconvenience.
What If My Order Shows as Delivered But is Missing?
There are a few steps you can take, better within 24 hours after your item shows as delivered:
-
Confirm your shipping address.
-
Check mailbox and other entrances to your home.
-
Check if someone else from your household or a neighbor accepted the package.
-
Check around your home for delivery attempt notice.
-
Contact the carrier (FedEx, UPS, etc.) with your tracking number to start a claim.
-
Sometimes carriers communicate delivery prior to arrival, so we suggest waiting 24 hours.
If it has been 24 hours or more since the delivery notification and you still haven’t received the product, please contact our customer service and provide the claim number for additional assistance. If the shipment is confirmed “missing”, we are responsible for re-shipment or refund according to your preference.
All missing item inquiries may need to inform us within 3 days of receipt, otherwise, after-sales inquiries after 3 days of receipt might be affected negatively due to uncertain factors outside of the time frame.
Can I Change My Shipping Address After Placing an Order?
Carefully review your shipping information for accuracy before submitting
your order. Once an order is placed, shipping address cannot be changed
online. When you need, first of all, please check the status of your order.
Pending: You can just leave it alone and place a new order.
Shipped: It depends on the carrier’s service. Some carriers
offer address change service by charging additional fee. With all of this in
mind, we still do understand that sometimes you want to ask us to try, so
you may contact Customer Service to check the possibility. Note that country
cannot be changed, success or not depends on carriers, additional address
change fee will be at customer’s expense.
If unfortunately, the carrier who delivers your order doesn’t offer address
change service, please manage to receive your order at the original shipping
address or directly contact the carrier to seek assistance. If the address
is totally invalid, package may be destroyed or returned to sender. In this
situation, you will be charged a penalty that may include, but not limited
to extra shipping charges and handling fees.
Changes are not guaranteed until you receive a confirmation from our
customer service.
Do You Ship to Multiple Shipping Addresses?
Each order allows for the specification of only one shipping address. If you’re purchasing multiple items and wish to have them delivered to different addresses (e.g., buying an item for yourself and another as a gift for a friend), it’s necessary to make separate purchases for each item. This ensures that each item is shipped to the desired address accurately.
Do You Ship to PO Boxes or APO/FPO Military Addresses?
Sorry, at this time we are unable to ship to PO Boxes or APO/FPO military addresses, so customers need to provide a street address. If a PO Box or APO/FPO military address is provided, we will contact you for confirmation, it will delay shipment of the order.
What Should I Do If There is a Serious Delay with My Shipment?
Please contact both the carrier and our customer service to investigate. If it is confirmed there is an exception (i.e., package lost) or delay will still last for a considerable time, we are responsible for re-shipment or refund according to your preference.

Obvious Shipping Damage
If a shipment arrives at your door with obvious shipping damage, please immediately inspect the items and check their condition. With obvious damage on items themselves, please refuse the specific package, and clearly mark down the damage situation when signing any paperwork. If the carrier denies your refusal and insists on you accepting the shipment, please document the series of events (package damage, item damage, not being allowed to refuse, etc.) on all paperwork and take photographs. If you accept the goods without noting the circumstances, the carrier might refuse to address the damages caused during transit.

Photograph the whole process, the damage, all packaging material and paperwork.

Note any damages on the carrier delivery receipt or contact the carrier to submit a damage claim.

How Soon Will I Receive My Refund?
If we cancel your order, we will refund you within 3 working days.
If you apply for a return refund, when we receive your return, we will
refund you within 5 working days after receipt and inspection.
The refund will be made to the account that the funds were originally drawn
from, namely the money will be sent back in the same way it was received.
If you originally paid with credit card, please allow up to one billing
cycle for the credit to show in the bank statement. It mostly depends on how
fast your bank processes the credit.
Please do not request a chargeback from your credit card company during the
return process. Due to the time it takes to resolve chargeback disputes, it
is usually better to be patient and wait for the return process to run its
course. Or if an unusual delay occurs, feel free to contact us for
assistance.
If you originally paid with PayPal account balance, you could find the
refund right away in your PayPal account.
Why Should I Keep the Original Packaging?
Due to the nature of our products, whether it be large furniture or other smaller items, they are often in the heavy or delicate categories. Our packaging is specially made to cater to each individual item. They are rigorously tested to ensure they can withstand most kinds of incidences in transportation. Any self-packed items by the customer will have a high chance of being damaged on the way caused by flimsy materials or improper techniques. That’s why we don’t generally allow any returns without their complete original packaging. In a way, this also prevents lots of potentially wasted efforts and protects the customer’s interest.

Tasha H. –
AMAZING!! For the price I was thinking I’m going to get this piece of furniture and half the worst time getting every part to line up perfectly. To my surprise everything came together just as expected. Very high quality material and I absolutely love the flexibility and functionality of this coffee table. I usually eat in front of the TV and now I could work in front of the TV as well. This coffee table is so versatile and what a great value great style and quality. Highly recommend.
Philippa R. –
This coffe table was surprisingly easy to put together. What I like best is that it works great for working at home online and at the end of the work day with everything stored away, it makes a very attractive coffee table. Very pleased with this purchase.
Beauregard –
Perfect! It helps for anyone in living room either to use as coffee table or table to eat when it opens up either side. Even to use tables for lab top or even those picture things with beads and wax. Arts and crafts. I love it and looks perfect in my home.
Ruth W. –
It’s a lovely table. I love the materials and they are sturdy even when the lid is open. It’s straightforward to assemble as well. I love all the storage options this table has to offer. I’m thinking of buying another one.
Jerry I. –
This table is exactly what we needed for our small living space. We live in a fairly small one bedroom in the city, and being able to have a full size table for dinners, board games, etc that can fold down and now take up a ton of the room is amazing! Thank you WeLivingRoom!!!
Ural –
This table fits beautifully in my small den. Exactly what I was looking for. Easy to assemble, the directions were clear. Took a bit, but I went slow to make sure I didn’t make any mistakes. I absolutely love it.
Lyeanne B. –
Really please with this table. It fits our room and living style perfectly for having dinner in fron the TV or playing board games. Really recommend it as the design is pretty impressive for guests too
Nicola E. –
Best purchase. Perfect for our little apartment. DidnĄŻt have enough room for a table. This folds out and creates a perfect spot for us to eat or play games when friends are over. Easy to put together.
Flavia H. –
Great piece of furniture!
Came properly well packaged. Easy to assemble (though time consuming).
Easy to transform into table and back into coffee table. I’m using it as desk to Work from home. Idealy it would be a bit higher to sit on it more comfortably whilst working.
No adult would ever happily use the “chairs” as chairs, as they are way too small, but I like the extra bit of storage space within them.
Heidelore B. –
I find the table very nice, would reorder it at any time and would definitely recommend it to people in 1-room apartments. But it is also cozy enough to gather around when visiting, whether for coffee or for dinner, it can of course also function as a desk when space is limited! In my opinion, higher armchairs go better than normal-height chairs. I put a corner bench around it, that’s great
Ann.S.M –
Really nice and sturdy table. We love the lifting design, very versatile and helpful.
Dominic V. –
I love this so much. We don’t have a kitchen table but this is working well. It’s great for game nights too. Nice and sturdy and looks great!
