We are an online store that mainly sell our products via our website. By not having staff at the showroom we are able to keep our overhead costs low and pass on those savings to you.

Available on backorder, means that the item is currently out of stock, but we have more stock on order from our suppliers. Please send us a message if you would like an estimated arrival date. 

Popular items quite often sell out before the shipment arrives at our warehouse. Place an order through the website to secure your item in the next available shipment.

• Please understand that some couriers are not able to provide an exact date of delivery. At best they will be able to indicate a 2-3 day timeframe of when the delivery will be made.

• Due to all our goods being custom handmade for us, minor dents/scratches/marks are not considered by our manufacturer to be defects. Please understand that natural oak and timbers can crack with time. This is particularly true of oak furniture when there are sudden changes in temperature. This is by no means a defect in the furniture and part of the characteristics of natural timber.
• Due to the style of our pieces (especially our distressed Oak pieces), any minor dents/scratches/marks add to the character and uniqueness of each piece.
• The level of distressed/white wash finish to our goods can vary from order to order and the variations to the finish are not considered manufacturer defects.
• The Purchaser is deemed to have inspected the goods immediately upon receiving delivery. Any damage or issues on the goods must be notified to us in writing via email to info@frenchplace.com.au. This must be done within 7 days of receiving delivery. The Purchaser must provide sufficient evidence to substantiate any claim. If the Purchaser fails to advise us of the relevant issue, the goods will be deemed to haven been delivered to you in good condition and in accordance with the Contract.

Most of the pieces that we stock are purchased in bulk from our suppliers in order to keep the price low. However we may be able to accommodate your request. Please send us an email and we will try our best.

We are always looking to source new pieces. Please send us an email with a photo of what you like.

For a natural Hamptons style look, our Oak furniture is finished with a light wax and is unsealed.
You can apply a furniture sealant to the furniture if you want it completely sealed.
Always avoid direct sunlight and heat.
Always clean spills and water off of oak furniture. Since oak is porous, it will easily soak up water.
No matter how strong and sturdy oak furniture looks, always move it with care.
Don’t expose oak to strong cleaning agents, coffee, wine, water or other liquids.
Avoid putting hot items such as dishes or pans directly on the wood. Instead, use trivets or heavy mats.
You can repair slight damages to oak furniture. You can use furniture markers and putties (available in a variety of colors) to fix small chips. Please understand that natural oak and timbers can crack with time. This is particularly true of oak furniture when there are sudden changes in temperature. This is by no means a defect in the furniture and part of the characteristics of natural timber.

Our larger pieces of furniture, like bookcases, tables and desk are very heavy and fragile, so we use professional removalists to ensure they are delivered safely to you. Unlike other companies, we don’t build in the shipping costs into the prices of our products, which is why our items are so competitively priced. This means you’ll save more if you choose to pickup the items yourself from our warehouse.
