Helm & Home, LLC. ("Helm & Home") is pleased to offer you access to and use of www.HelmAndHome.com and any related sub-domains, including any content, functionality, websites, and applications offered by the Website (the "Website"). Please take a moment to review our Terms of Use (the "Terms"). Your use of this Website constitutes your agreement to follow these rules and to be bound by them. If you do not agree with our Terms and Privacy Policy, do not use the Website.

Condition and Variation of Reclaimed Wood. Helm & Home fabricates custom furniture using dimensional reclaimed wood which often contains unique graining & character. Dimensional solid wood with character is inherently more prone to movement than wood without character to include expansion & contraction as well as color variation, knots & checks. Countermeasures are taken to mitigate movement starting with the kiln drying process and carrying through design & fabrication. Nail holes are filled to achieve the smoothest surface possible. Please visit our “Finish” page/tab on our site and product pages to ensure you have educated yourself regarding the various finish selections, as some options will have slight texture and others will be very smooth. All pieces are nicely sanded and sealed with the exception of the “Natural/Unsealed” option. The “Natural” option has no surface topcoat. By placing an Order, you agree to this variation and character.

Warranty. Helm & Home does not warranty against the natural movement of reclaimed wood. Helm & Home does carry a limited 5 year manufacturers’ warranty for any piece or part found by Helm & Home’ to be defective in material or workmanship.

Lead Times. All wood furniture from Helm & Home is build-to-order for you. Most orders ship in approximately 4-5 weeks. At times, lead times may extend further.

Assembly. Each piece of furniture typically requires very light and easy assembly that is much easier and quicker if you have an electric or cordless screwdriver/gun. Most furniture ships unassembled with table/desk legs & shelving frames flat packed.

Special Instructions/Comments for Custom Invoices/ Commercial orders. When indicated by Helm & Home via a line item or in the special notes section on a “Draft” order invoice, Helm & Home will provide Shop drawings and possibly a finish sample to be approved prior to fabrication. When Helm & Home requires this, the lead times listed on the order, begins upon approved drawings & samples.

Shipment and Delivery. Smaller item orders ship via UPS across the United States in 1-4 business days with no signature required. Please be aware that orders only ship on business days; we do not offer weekend or holiday delivery. Larger items such as tables and desks often ship via a freight carrier in 4-5 days.

Freight Shipments.  Most tables and desks or items 60” and over typically ship via a freight carrier and should be delivered within 3-5 business days after it leaves our facility. You will receive tracking from Helm & Home via email when it ships and a phone call from the freight carrier at least 24 hours before to schedule delivery.

  1. First Threshold Delivery for Freight. Please expect that a 3rd party delivery company hired by our chosen freight carrier will bring your crate/pallet to the first threshold (entry) /loading dock and require a signature. They will not bring it upstairs for you, into an elevator or into your apartment,home or business beyond the first entrance. If you have an item coming via freight carrier please make sure to find assistance to help you carry your furniture past this point. You will be responsible for disposing of the wooden crate your furniture arrives in unless in advance you pay for debris removal via the white glove service option. White glove delivery is available for a price increase but you must arrange for this with Helm & Home at the time of purchase or within an acceptable timeline of 3 days. It is often a couple hundred dollars more than standard freight but in special cases where it is a large/ oversized table and stairs are involved the price may be significantly higher. Please contact us at info@HelmAndHome.com for more information on this shipment option for your order.
  2. Large or Oversized Items. Helm & Home advises you to be certain all items that are oversized ie. 8' and above fit into the elevator or through stairwells in your building. It is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure items purchased fit in the intended space. Large conference tables may also be built in 2 or 3 sections by client request. Standard Freight Delivery includes transporting the crate to the first threshold or ground floor. WGS available as a shipping upgrade option.

Return Policy. Helm & Home may accept returns, or exchanges on UPS only shipments that are standard sizes within ten (10) days of delivery. The order may be subject to a 15% restocking fee. The full amount of the returned Goods less shipping and handling cost, will be returned to the Buyer once Helm & Home has the Goods back in its possession. All custom furniture is final sale and not eligible for return. Goods that are shipped in a crate via freight carrier are final sale and not eligible for return. This includes most tables on our website 60” and longer.

Changes to Order. Buyers may, within three (3) business days, make a written request to change the Order. Helm & Home reserves the right to agree to or decline any requested changes due to availability of materials or any other reason.
