Product Characteristics & Care 

Each Port Eliot piece is individually handcrafted and hand-finished using natural materials and time-honored techniques. Variations in wood grain, color, texture, sheen, distressing, joinery, and other hand-applied details are inherent to this process and contribute to the individual character of each piece. Natural materials absorb stains and finishes differently; therefore, no two pieces - or production runs - will be exactly alike. 

Product photography, digital screens, and showroom and finish samples are intended as representative guides only. Lighting, surrounding colors, material availability, and the natural aging of finishes may also affect appearance. Minor variations in color, finish, texture, dimensions, and construction are normal and not considered manufacturing defects. 

Does this product come in any finish or color?

Our products are not customizable and are provided in the finish(es) shown.

Do you offer COM?

We do not offer COM. Product comes in fabric and cushion as shown.

How can I find out information about new products?

To stay informed, please sign up for our email blasts. You may remove or manage your preferences at any time.
