Questions to resolve before booking

Quick answers to what comes up most before you send an enquiry.

What if the supplier proposes a substitute close to launch date?

Agree acceptable alternatives in writing when the order is placed, so a late substitution matches what was actually approved.

How far ahead should this be booked?

As soon as the layout and quantities are set. Booking earlier gives more room to confirm the exact finish, colour and quantity you want for your date.

What matters most when comparing Garden and rattan-style event furniture?

Dimensions and footprint, current condition and finish, and how a delivered unit actually fits the route into the venue — price alone hides most of what changes a quote.
