No assembly will be necessary beyond that provided by the delivery service.  However, you may need to level and adjust doors and drawer glides depending on the conditions of the delivery environment.

If they are unable to move or fit the furniture into the designated area, the furniture will be placed in an alternate area of your home.  It is the customer's responsibility to make sure that the items will fit in their room before they order it.  If there are any minor scratches or damage, the delivery service will repair the damage on site.

22. What do I need to do regarding delivery and setup of the furniture?

  1. You will need to be present at the delivery site at the time of delivery. This is important because at the time of delivery the furniture must be examined by the customer and the delivery slip must be signed and accepted.
  2. Please have the room cleared of old furniture and a path to the room clear for the delivery.
  3. Please measure your room, and stairways if applicable, to make sure that the furniture will fit properly.  If the furniture cannot be safely placed in the desired space, then it will be placed in an alternate area of your home.  Some of the items we sell are very large and heavy and do not go up stairways or around turns very well.  Please reference the measurements on the Website prior to ordering.
  4. If any individual piece that you order has a weight that is equal to or greater than 350 lbs., you will be required to have an extra person on hand to help facilitate the delivery.
  5. If the delivery location is more than two flights of stairs above the ground floor, you will need to alert the delivery company to that fact when you are contacted to schedule the delivery, and you will be subject to additional delivery charges, payable directly to the delivery company, if the delivery company determines, in its sole discretion, that it can and will deliver to your intended delivery location.

Top

23. What if the furniture is damaged on delivery?

Please take your time and inspect all the furniture upon delivery and note any damages or defects on the signed delivery slip. 

The delivery service is responsible for all damage occurring during the shipment of the goods.  It is very important that you inspect the furniture carefully and thoroughly before the driver leaves and before you or your representative sign for the furniture.  The drivers can call their customer service representative at the time of delivery for instructions if there is a question regardingdefects or transit damages. If the furniture is damaged or broken, note the damages on the delivery slip. Bernhardt Outlet will gladly assist you with respect to transit damages, but this assistance does not imply we will assume responsibility for such damages.  If you accept furniture damaged in shipment or defective without noting this on the delivery slip, you are accepting all items "AS-IS." Unless an issue is handled in the manner described above, you will be deemed to have accepted the goods AS-IS in the condition delivered!
