  • MANUFACTURING STANDARDS
  • All products bearing the RW GUILD mark are manufactured, by hand, in strict accordance with the specifications and quality standards provided by RW Guild to each workroom. Products will be free from defects, including defects in materials, workmanship, and design, and are of the highest quality
  • NATURAL MATERIALS
  • All products bearing the RW GUILD mark are derived from natural woods, metals, oils and other materials found in nature and, as such, no two products will be exactly alike. Consequently, RW Guild shall not be responsible to the end user/purchaser for naturally occurring variations in woods, metals dyes or stains and cannot accommodate for irregular conditions (e.g. uneven floors). Small checks and cracks to wood products are natural, and to be expected, as a piece acclimates to its environment. Products should not be installed in areas with exposure to high levels of humidity or high levels of dry air, large temperature fluctuations, or abnormal environmental conditions. Variations in the color, sheen and texture (wrinkling and natural marks) of leather may occur due to small batch dying, tanning processes and natural phenomena.
  • LIVING FINISHES
  • All RW GUILD furniture and lighting products include a living finish and are 100% free from synthetic materials. Without an added protective coating, these materials will age gracefully in their natural state and develop a unique patina over time. While RW GUILD will make every effort to match a finish, no guarantee can be made to match a sample exactly, due to the natural variation and characteristics of the base materials.
  • QUOTES
  • Price as quoted is valid for 30 days from date of issue.
