Each desk is built to order in our West Sussex workshop by skilled craftspeople, using timber from trusted local suppliers who support sustainable forestry. The bobbin legs are turned in-house to ensure precision and consistency, and every element is carefully assembled using time-tested methods. The result is a sturdy, well-balanced piece that feels just as good to use as it looks.

The Sintra Bobbin Writing Desk is finished by hand with a durable, low-sheen coating that protects the timber while preserving its natural texture. The piece in the photoshoot is shown in our walnut blend finish, but it can be made in any of our six signature tones. To explore the full range, please visit our finishes page.

UK deliveries:

We offer White Glove delivery as standard for larger pieces within England, Wales, and Scotland (excluding Northern Ireland), carried out by Empire Delivery. Once collected from our workshop, please allow 5 to 7 days for delivery arrangements. Smaller items, such as mirrors and trays, are sent by courier and usually delivered the next working day after collection. Free warehouse collection is also available by appointment.

International deliveries:

Smaller pieces are shipped with DHL under Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) terms, meaning all import taxes are prepaid and nothing is due on arrival. Larger items are securely crated using high-density foam, bubble wrap, and OSB crates to ensure safe transit. International shipments typically take 5 to 15 days from dispatch to arrive.

Shipping costs are calculated and displayed at checkout based on the size, weight, and delivery address.

For US customers:

All US orders are shipped under Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) terms, which means import taxes and duties including the latest tariffs are included in the total at checkout. However, due to ongoing uncertainty around tariff rates, if there is a significant increase between the time your order is placed and the time it is dispatched, we may need to settle the difference before shipment. In such cases, we will either issue a corrective invoice or revert to Delivered at Place (DAP) and refund any duties already paid. If you have any questions about customs charges or how DDP works, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to assist.

We take great pride in the craftsmanship of every piece we create and offer a lifetime warranty on the structural integrity and functionality of all our work, covering frame stability, joinery, and overall construction. This warranty does not cover wear and tear, accidental damage, or issues caused by improper care or use.

We also offer a lifetime buyback guarantee. If you ever wish to part with your piece, we would be pleased to buy it back, restore it, and return it to circulation, ensuring it continues its life as part of a thoughtful and sustainable cycle.

Returns:

If you would like to return an item, please contact us within 30 days of delivery. Returned items must be unused, in their original condition, and in their original packaging. Pieces made to custom dimensions are non-returnable, unless faulty. Standard pieces remain eligible for return under our 30-day policy.

If something is not quite right, we will always offer to repair or resolve the issue first, as we want every piece to be loved and enjoyed for many years. If a repair is not possible, we will arrange collection at no cost to you. For standard returns, return shipping is the customer’s responsibility; however, if you would like us to assist with collection, we are happy to help by arranging this for you where possible and deducting the cost from your refund. We recommend using a tracked and insured service if you are returning a piece independently, to ensure it arrives back with us safely. Refunds are calculated and processed within 5–7 days of inspection.
