Practical details to know before ordering
- Location and services: The physical shop is in Key West, Florida. In-store upholstery work, cushions, and alterations are listed as in-store services, so plan those around a visit rather than an online order.
- Shipping: The site states it ships nationwide. Specific rates, carriers, and delivery times are not given in the available information, so check the Shipping page before ordering.
- Returns: A Returns page exists in the site navigation. Review the policy there before purchase, since the terms are not summarized in the available information.
- Account and checkout: A Login link appears in the navigation, but the available information does not describe account requirements, payment methods, or whether guest checkout is offered.
- Pricing: Current prices are not included in the available information. Confirm prices on individual product pages.
How to use the site

- Open a product page to confirm fabric specifics, price, and availability before adding to cart.
