PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION
All the products shown are classified as either “Available from stock”, “Non-stocked” or “Made-to-order”.
• “Available from stock” items are held in our warehouse and are typically delivered within two weeks.
• “Non-stocked” items may be delivered direct from the manufacturer or via our warehouse and therefore generally have longer lead times.
• Lead times on “Made-to-order” items will vary dependent upon your fabric choice and specification. Approximate lead times are stated denoted by the lorry logo underneath each product description. However if the lead time is critical, please contact our sales team for confirmation.


COLOUR REPRODUCTION
Morleys take great care in producing the collection of products shown in this catalogue. Every reasonable care has been taken to ensure that the descriptions are accurate; however the catalogue purely represents our products. Due to print limitations, there may be slight colour variations. Note we reserve the right to change specification, colour, design and price without notice.


FABRIC CHOICE
We strongly advise you to request a fabric sample BEFORE placing your order. As all upholstered products come under the “Made-toorder” category, please ensure that your fabric choice is correct at point of order, as this cannot be changed under any circumstances. Once we have received your order, your choice is deemed to be accepted and cannot be cancelled. All our upholstery fabrics are made to “Medium Hazard to Ignition level 5”.


SAMPLE SERVICE
Samples are available for most products. Please contact our sales team to discuss your requirements. A charge will be made for delivery of samples and supplied on a “sale-or-return” basis subject to quantities, delivery location and product required.


PRODUCT VARIATIONS
All our products are constantly monitored for quality and safety. As a result, products may be resourced to maintain the highest standards and we reserve the right to amend the specification of any product.
If the specification featured is critical, please contact us for clarification.


PRICING

During the summer peak trading period (June to September) lead times may be extended, we strongly advise you to order early to avoid delays.
