Handcrafted with Care: Most of our products are made and assembled by hand, with carefully selected materials and traditional techniques. This craftsmanship often incorporates elements like nail holes, dowels, and other construction details, which are not defects but part of the product’s authentic handmade character.
Natural Wood Variations: Wood is a natural material, so variations in color, tone, and shade are expected. These natural differences make each piece distinct and one-of-a-kind.
Artistic Hand-Carving: Each item is individually hand-carved, resulting in slight variations between pieces within a set, adding unique character to each piece and enhancing their individuality.
Approximate Sizes and Weights: Due to the handmade nature of our products, provided measurements and weights are approximate, allowing for minor variations.
