DAMAGES

These variations can occur during the manufacturing process, or while in your home as they adjust to the temperature and humidity of your space and climate. These variations are not considered defects and, therefore, are not classified as items eligible for return or damage claims. 

When submitting a request to have your item considered for a damage claim, please remember to be kind and courteous to our customer service representatives. They want to ensure you have a positive customer service experience, so please treat them kindly and with respect!
