Ordering Information

Design Icons order line is open from 8.30am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, when our helpful staff are on hand to help with your enquiries and orders.

We try to keep our most popular items in stock ready for immediate despatch but as we offer an extensive range of leather colours (over 40 different colours are available for some products) some items will be made to order which means a typical lead time of between 3 and 4 weeks (excluding holiday periods). If you place an order for an item that is out of stock or that is being made to order we will require a 20% deposit at time of order. When your order has left our factory we will contact you to take the balance payment. Our delivery team will then contact you to arrange a suitable delivery date.

If you require leather samples please contact our team who will be happy to post these out to you.

Every effort is made to ensure that prices are correct, however details on our website are updated periodically and prices may be subject to change.

We are not responsible for delays due to raw materials shortages etc. from our suppliers.

All prices on our website are inclusive of VAT.

All our furniture for UK delivery meets current UK fire safety regulations.

Delivery

We can deliver to anywhere in the UK but if you live in the Scottish Highlands (postcodes beginning IV, IM, PA, AB, KW, KA, HS, ZE, PH or HS), Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Scilly or the Channel Islands please contact our team for a delivery price. Delivery Prices for UK delivery are individually quoted in item descriptions. If you require delivery outside the UK please contact us for a quote. Our team will be pleased to help with any delivery queries you may have.

Whilst we do try to accommodate deliveries on a day which is convenient our delivery teams are not in every post code area every day so your delivery will be arranged according to which day our vehicle is in your area. Please contact us should you require further details. Most of our deliveries are made by a two man crew experienced in handling fragile items and your furniture will be delivered to a room of your choice (ground floor only). Deliveries are usually made between 7am and 7pm Monday to Friday and our delivery team will call you on the morning of your delivery to give you an estimated time of arrival. Furniture will be delivered boxed but we can unpack your goods and take away the packaging for an additional charge. Please contact us for a quote if this is a service you require. Some items such as dining tables will delivered in two pieces, i.e. the base and the table top. We do not offer an assembly service but most items can be simply assembled using basic tools such as a screwdriver. Some items, such as glass or marble table tops will be crated and will require a screwdriver to open. We have developed this method of packaging to reduce the possibility of the products being damaged in transit. Our delivery service outside the UK is limited to a single person kerbside delivery. Please check with us if you are unsure as to how your item will be delivered.

Furniture Care

How to keep your Design Icons furniture looking its best

Leather Care

In order to keep your leather furniture from Design Icons looking its best it is a good idea to periodically clean and condition your leather by using appropriate products. We suggest visiting furnitureclinic.co.uk a company that offers a full range of products specifically designed for cleaning and conditioning leather furniture.

Cleaning Aniline Leather Aniline leathers are drum-dyed and they reveal all the natural markings and colour variations that make each hide unique. Our Aniline Leather does have a protective coating but this only provides limited protection from soil and staining.

Remove light topical soil by gently wiping with a water-dampened soft white cloth. Spills should be immediately blotted whenever they occur. Any residual stains may be gently treated using an absorbent white cloth dampened with a solution of water and mild, non-detergent soap or suitable leather cleaning product. Avoid vigorous cleaning that may lift colour from the leather. After cleaning, allow the leather to air dry away from direct heat.

Never use saddle soap, solvents, abrasives or caustic household cleaners such as soap or dish detergent. These products can be too harsh for use with leather and may cause cracking or other damage to the surface of the leather. Direct sources of heat and extended exposure to direct sunlight may also be harmful to the leather and should be avoided.

Conditioning By conditioning your leather you are putting back into the leather all the natural oils and waxes that are lost over time with wear, tear and heat. If you do not do this your leather could dry out, fade and will eventually start to crack.

Marble Care

In order to preserve the appearance of your marble table it is important to care for and protect it by using the appropriate products for use with natural stone.

Cleaning tips

Tend to all spills immediately. Care should be taken with liquids such as tea, coffee, wine and sauces. Corrosive liquids like vinegar and lemon juice can also spoil the look of your table if left on the table surface. Dust regularly with a soft, clean, lint free cloth. Clean carefully with water and a mild neutral ph cleanser (Acidity/alkalinity-or even abrasives - in ordinary cleansers may cause etching or scratching). Protection

If you have any further questions please contact our team who will be happy to help.
