Sideboards and Things Return & Refund Policy
We stand behind all of the products we have curated for our site, and we work with the best manufacturers in the world to ensure you'll love every Sideboards & Things item in your home. The design details, quality, safety, and sustainability of our products will meet, if not exceed, your expectations. We hope you love your selections, but if you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, we'll gladly take returnable items in an unused condition fit for resale within 5 days of delivery. (Note: Exclusions apply. See below).
All returns must have prior approval and a return authorization number assigned.
Return freight charges must be paid for by the customer and the original freight charges are non-refundable. For items offered with free freight or discounted freight the actual outbound shipping fees will be deducted from the amount refunded.
Merchandise must not be damaged and must be returned in the same condition in which it left the warehouse. This means that the product returned must be un-assembled, in original carton, packaged in as new condition. If merchandise is not in new condition, the return will not be accepted or a restocking charge of up to 100% of the invoice will be deducted from the credit prior to issuing a refund.
Shipping and labor charges (Assembly, Delivery, Freight, Installation, Modifications, etc. plus any sales tax thereon) are NON-REFUNDABLE.
If we identify an unreasonable return pattern, we may restrict or refuse future transactions or returns from such customers at any time.
Is My Item Returnable?
Not every item on our site is eligible for a return. Below is a list of non-returnable items:
- Final sale items or gift cards

If you are returning an item, please keep your item’s original packaging and contact us immediately to receive a Return Authorization Confirmation. You will have 5 days to return your item.
Note that all items shipped back without prior Return Authorization or outside the 5 days return period will not be eligible for a refund. Customer is responsible for shipping cost associated with returns.
If order is delayed in transit, does the return policy still apply? Yes. We work tirelessly to ensure that your merchandise arrives to you on time. Many factors are outside our control. Unless a guaranteed delivery service was arranged at time of order placement (typically at an additional charge), delays in transit time through no fault of Sideboards & Things, LLC do NOT constitute an exception to the Return Policy.
Cancellation Terms:
- If your order is cancelled within 24 hours of placing the order - it is fully refundable.
- If your order is cancelled after 24 hours of placing the order – it is refundable, however a small cancellation fee of 5% is applied.
- If your "pre-order" is cancelled within the timeframe given to you at the time of purchase – it is refundable, however a small cancellation fee of 5% is applied.
- If your “pre-order” is cancelled after the timeframe given to you at the time of purchase – it is fully refundable.
- If your order is cancelled after it shipped - the inbound shipping fee, the outbound shipping fee and the 20% restocking fee will be applied.

If you return your item without prior authorization from us, you will not be eligible for a refund. The inbound shipping, outbound shipping and restocking fee will apply.
Why Do You Assess Restocking Fees on Returns?
When you return an item, a lot of time, labor, and company cost is required to receive your package and restock your item back into our warehouses. Additionally, the majority of furniture and accessories returned are not packaged to original factory standards or incur damage during transit. Because we provide our customers free standard shipping on all items and absorb that cost, we must assess restocking fees on returns to account for the quantity of returned items that cannot be accepted or resold.
Sideboards & Things Damages Policy and Guidelines
At Sideboards & Things we work with only the best in the shipping industry to ensure that your items arrive at your home safely and undamaged.

Please note that our damages policy is to replace or repair damaged or incorrect items. If you would like a refund, you must process your request as a return which may incur fees for shipping, handling, and restocking costs.

Damages or Incorrect Items Policy and Guidelines for Freight Items:
If you receive a freight item with a required signature, please inspect the packaging and open your package immediately (BEFORE SIGNING) to inspect the item. If the packaging or the item has obvious freight damage or is otherwise incorrect, refuse the shipment and mark the Bill of Lading packing slip as “damaged.” Please take clear photos of the damaged packaging and/or damaged item. If shipment is refused prior to inspection of the item, you may be subject to re-delivery fees.
After you refuse the shipment, please contact our customer service within 48 hours at customerservice@sideeboardsandthings.com or 833-299-3993. Please be prepared with photos of the damage (we may ask for these to be sent to us via email). Clear photos are mandatory in order to process a damage claim. Once contacted, we will file your claim and ship you a replacement at no additional cost.
NOTE: If you sign for a signature-required freight shipment without reporting the damage, defect, or error, you are responsible for all such damages and your damage claim may be denied. All damage claims must also be received within 48 hours of your item's arrival. Damage claims reported after 48 hours of your item’s arrival may be declined.

Similarly, all items made from natural products (including but not limited to: wood, marble, limestone, alabaster, glazed ceramic, etc.) will have natural variations and no two items will look identical. These variations are expected and will NOT be considered defects, damages, or incorrect items.
