The finish on the illustration/image on G. Rios website and or images provided to the client and or physical sample is an indicative finish, as we are dealing with a natural material and a hand finish. The figuration and grain of the wood represented on a particular illustration or wood sample presented or provided are characteristic of the particular wood sample (grain or figuration of the particular part of the wood or tree) used at that specific time of the production of the piece pictured / illustrated. Variations may occur as we are dealing with a natural material and a made to order piece finished by hand.
Please kindly note that the final product may vary in tone and grain pattern due to the nature of the wood itself. The tones used are our (ateliers) own production and therefore may vary from time to time due to environmental factors such as heat, light, humility, auxiliary shinning materials, so on and so forth. We may therefore be unable to reproduce the same tones perfectly every time.
DELIVERY SERVICES
As a general rule, depending on location (final destination of the goods) and services available and or offered within the country of final destination, there are two principal options:
CURB SIDE DELIVERY This is a standard service and the most economic method. The delivery is made to curb sideThe client is therefore advised to organize assistance at delivery point.

Inside delivery is subject to access. In the event of access being prohibited or non-existent and or restricted access is compromising the safety of the goods being delivered, G. Rios will confirm the additional costs and or charge for this additional service to be applied, this is non-refundable. In such instances goods will be delivered to ground floor level. *This option is not available worldwide, please confirm with us first.
