1. Shipping Area
We provide white-glove local delivery within roughly 150 miles of Madison, Alabama, including Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley.
For customers outside this region, we arrange delivery through trusted freight carriers experienced in handling fine furniture.

Local delivery is usually charged at a flat rate based on distance and item size.
Freight shipping for out-of-state orders is quoted individually to ensure the best rates and safe transport.
Any applicable delivery or freight fees will be disclosed before finalizing your order.
