What is your warranty? All teak items come with a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase. This covers structure and teak material. Sunbrella cushions come with a 5 year warranty against fading or material defects. This covers the Sunbrella cover only - not the foam core. Please contact customerservice@willowcreekllc.com to start a claim. All warranty claims are subject to review and approval is at the discretion of Willow Creek Designs. As a general rule of thumb, we will not repair or replace pieces that show signs of neglect.
Do you offer replacement cushions? Yes! We are happy to offer replacement cushions for any returning customer looking to refresh their furniture or update to a new color. Please contact customerservice@willowcreekllc.com to place an order.
What do I need to do at delivery? All items are delivered on wood pallets, banded and covered in shrink wrapping. All cushions are bagged, nested, and secured within the furniture. The carrier will call 24hrs before delivery to set up delivery appointment. The driver will arrive at your location in a large semi truck. You ordered furniture...it is big. The pallets can range from 4' to 9' depending on what was purchased. The pallet is not taken by the carrier at the time of delivery. It is the clients responsibility to dispose. PLEASE NOTE: Do not sign any driver paper work until you have inspected the shipment. You want to make sure no items are damaged before you sign. Most likely all is well and you can sign and release the driver. BUT, if damage is seen, you need to make notations on the bill of lading and take pictures. These steps are for your protection. Please contact us to discuss the option of replacement.
My furniture is here and unwrapped. What do I do now? The first thing you should do is ensure that all of the pieces you ordered are on the pallet and in satisfactory condition. If anything is missing or damaged, please contact tim@willowcreekllc.com to address your concerns. Next you will want to allow two weeks for your teak to acclimate to its new environment. After a long journey from Indonesia, to Los Angeles, to your residence, your teak has experienced a wide range of climates and needs time to get used to its new home before applying any kind of treatment, stain, or sealant. In the meantime, you can take a load off and enjoy the furniture in its natural state. During this period, hairline cracks may form as the wood stretches and/or contracts according to ambient humidity. If need be, please contact tim@willowcreekllc.com for a service kit.
Ok, I waited - what should I do next? The wait is over, but first you'll need to decide the aesthetic you wish to achieve. Think of teak maintenance like a skin-care routine. If you don't keep up with the maintenance, signs of aging and weathering will pronounce themselves. The three most popular options are as follows: (1) Do nothing - the furniture will weather and turn gray (patina) over time. During weathering, there is the potential for shrinkage in the material, gapping in the joinery, surface fractures or cracks, and the growth of mold. (2) Sealant - Easy, long-term maintenance. We recommend SEMCO Sealer - Clear Finish. As long as water still beads on the surface without permeating the wood, the sealant is still doing its job. (3) Teak Oil - replenishing the natural oils of the wood at regular increments will allow the wood to remain bright and moisturized, preventing signs of aging between applications.
