Sales Questions

Show All Answers
  • Do I have to buy an entire set of furniture or can I purchase items individually?

    You can buy items individually in almost all cases, using the drop-down selector boxes to simply add or remove items of your choice. As a volume discount is applied to sets, please contact our office for specific pricing and availability if you are unable to customize your order using the drop-downs. As manufacturers finishes vary, selecting the table from one set and chairs from another (as example) is not recommended.
     

  • Can you customize the furniture?

    We cannot customize the furniture beyond fabric or finish choices when available. We can not make a sofa or table to a particular size for example, however, if you need assistance in finding furniture that will meet your specifications please contact our office.
     

  • Can I order fabric/wood samples?

    Many manufacturers offer this; please contact our office for assistance.
     

  • Are finish colors accurate?

    Due to variations in photography, monitors and lighting, Wholesale Furniture Brokers cannot guarantee that the finish of the order will be exactly as pictured. Imperfections or variations in the grain, color or sheen may occur naturally in wood as well as the drying/tanning process of leather.
     

  • Do you carry other items that aren't listed on the website?

    Yes, what are you looking for? We add new products to the website on a regular basis. New suppliers are contacting us constantly so look for other lines and brands coming soon. If you are looking for something particular, let us know, maybe we can get you a great deal on it.
     

  • What is the construction of the furniture?

    Our pieces are made of both hardwood solids and fine hardwood veneers. Fine veneers are a hardwood which is thinly sliced and then glued to composite or wood. The fine veneers are used most likely on the sides of the lower cabinet, possibly on the drawer fronts and on table tops. Because solid wood tends to warp or split due to moist climates, fine veneers are very commonly used by the finest manufacturers. These fine veneers are also used because of their unique beauty. Some of our furniture is made from Rubberwood. Rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis), also called Parawood in Thailand, is an eco-friendly hardwood from the maple family. Rubberwood, like maple, produces sap, but instead of maple sap it yields latex. All the latex in the world for rubber based products comes from Rubberwood. It has very little tendency to warp or crack and is the most ecologically friendly lumber used in today's furniture industry. The rubber tree's economic life span is normally 26-30 years, after which the latex production becomes very low. At this time the planters fell the tree and plant a new one. Rubberwood is only used after it is finished its latex producing cycle and dies, unlike other woods that are chopped down for the purpose of making furniture. Therefore, Rubberwood is eco-friendly in that we use what was going to waste.
     

  • Where can I find the dimensions of a piece of furniture?

    Scroll down to the bottom of the "product details" listing of the item you are interested in. These are setup dimensions; for shipping dimensions please contact our shipping department at Shipping@GoWFB.com. We strongly recommend you measure your door/opening the furniture will be required to pass through.

  • What if my purchased items arrive damaged?

    Although we try to ensure your order arrives safe and sound, everyone is aware shipping damages do happen once in a while. We request that you inspect your item(s) upon delivery. Be sure to inspect the shipment for damage before the driver leaves. If there is visible damage to the packaging, you should immediately open the packaging and inspect the product for damage and contact our office for further instructions. If by chance you reach us after hours, please only refuse the item in question, and notate the damage to the item(s) and the box(s) in detail on the delivery receipt. Transporting additional items only increases the risk of damages and delays your delivery. Ensure you also verify the number of packages delivered with the packing slip you receive. As packaging differs from manufacturer to manufacturer, please use caution when opening your items to prevent scarring from knives or misplacement of instructions and hardware. Should any damage be discovered upon opening your shipment, contact our office immediately and keep the shipping carton and inner packaging.

    Upon notifying our office, we will file a claim and work with you on a case by case scenario. Please submit photos and a clear description of the defect to Claims@GoWFB.com. If your item arrives damaged and you do not wish to receive replacement or discount our standard return policies will apply.
     

  • Holiday Shipping

    Every effort is made to make sure your order arrives to you very quickly. We post "order by" dates on certain items to help customers know the latest possible order date to receive the item by the specified holiday. We do not, however, guarantee arrival dates. Many things can slow down a shipment, including the demand load on freight carriers which are beyond our control. If your item does not arrive in time, you may send the item back for a refund under our normal return policy.
