Warranty Policy

ALANKARAM warrants that each of its products is free from defects in material and/or workmanship for five years from the purchase date. Subject to the limitations and exclusions herein, ALANKARAM, at its sole discretion under the limited warranty, will either replace or repair a manufacturing defect with comparable products or components. Warranty claims can be made only once in 5 years. These warranties are applicable for residential personal use of furniture only and not for commercial or high-traffic areas.

Wood being a natural material will have some flaws, variations in color/grains, or imperfections, which is considered part of its natural beauty. Natural variations in colour, knots, stress marks, etc. are not considered defects of workmanship and materials. Wood surfaces are subject to denting, scratching, etc. if not properly used and cared for. Users should also be aware that all surface finishes mellow with age. Our designs evolve over time and there may be some variation in angles, elements, etc. compared to what is seen online. Each furniture being individually handmade may have minor variations in size, shape and finish. Handmade fabric will have some variation in print, color, patches, patterns, etc.
