Orders and payment

How do I order?

Pick the product, style, size and name to engrave and send it with the order form (it opens WhatsApp with your order written) or by email. We confirm size, price, shipping and lead time before you pay anything.

How do I pay?

Once we confirm your order, you pay by card through a secure Revolut payment link (no Revolut account needed; your bank’s buyer protection applies). If we miss the confirmed date, you can cancel for a full refund. Business, custom or 300 €+ orders: 50% deposit and the rest before shipping.

Do you make custom pieces?

Yes. Tell us what you need and we’ll send you a sketch and a quote. We also make pieces for bars, cafés and shops.

Shipping

How long does it take?

Made to order: 7–12 working days after you confirm, plus shipping (usually 3–6 days within the EU).

Do you ship to my country?

We ship across Spain and Europe. Shipping is quoted before you confirm, depending on box size and weight.

Does it arrive assembled?

Most pieces ship flat with fittings, Allen key and instructions: 5–15 minutes to assemble, no glue needed.

Materials and care

Which woods do you use?

Poplar plywood (Workshop style), solid pine (Barn and Industrial) and pine planks (Forge). Steel is 25×25 tube, welded and painted with anti-rust enamel.

Is it safe for my pet?

Water-based polyurethane varnish, hard and odourless once cured; rounded edges and non-slip feet. Bowls are stainless steel or stoneware, food-safe and dishwasher safe.

How do I clean it?

Wood: damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. Bowls: dishwasher. Avoid bleach and scouring pads on the varnish.

Personalisation

What can you engrave?

Your pet’s name (included on pet pieces), a second name or short phrase, an icon or your business logo, laser-engraved so it won’t wear off.

Can I return a personalised piece?

Personalised pieces are made just for you, so the 14-day withdrawal right doesn’t apply. If it arrives damaged or faulty, we repair or replace it.

Personalized raised dog bowl stand

Which height do I need?

Measure your dog standing, from the floor to the bottom of the chest: the bowl rim goes at that height or slightly lower. Send us the measurement and we’ll tell you the size. See raised bowl stand

Are raised feeders good for dogs?

They’re tidier and many owners of older dogs find them more comfortable, though no study proves health benefits. For large and giant deep-chested breeds, ask your vet first (a 2000 study linked them to higher bloat risk; a 2012 study didn’t). See raised bowl stand

Personalized dog toy box

Is it good for cats?

Yes, size S is perfect for cat toys. See personalized toy box

Cat wall shelves and steps

How many do I need?

A good start: 3 steps and 1 shelf. See cat wall

Personalised raised cat bowl stand

Why tilted?

With the top at 15°, food gathers at the front of the bowl where it’s easier to reach. It’s about comfort, not a treatment. Water doesn’t need it, so the water station is flat. See cat bowl stand

Why is the water separate?

Many cats prefer to drink away from where they eat, and drink more that way (International Cat Care). Order the feeder, the water station or both with the same name. See cat bowl stand

Which bowl does it use?

A glazed stoneware bowl, Ø15 × 5 cm (IKEA UTSÅDD): wide, shallow and dishwasher safe. Easy to replace if it breaks. See cat bowl stand

Which height?

Standard (10 cm front rim) for most cats. XL (15 cm) for large cats like Maine Coons, or older cats who find it hard to bend down. See cat bowl stand

Industrial wood bar stool

Do you make batches for bars?

Yes: volume pricing and your logo engraved on the seat. See bar stool

Solid wood desk

How high is it?

75 cm, the standard height for an office chair. About 65 cm of legroom under the apron. See desk

Can it take a big screen or a monitor arm?

Yes. The 28 mm pine top takes a clamp-on monitor arm; on the 18 mm plywood top, add a flat steel plate underneath. See desk

Engraved wooden bathroom vanity

Is the basin included?

Optional: we can buy it, test-fit it and deliver it with the vanity. See bathroom vanity

Can I have my own engraving?

Yes: send us your drawing, a name or a phrase and we’ll show you a preview first. Catalogue designs are included; custom ones cost a little extra. See bathroom vanity

Wooden QR code sign for restaurants and shops

What do you need from me?

Your logo (PDF, SVG or a large PNG) and the link: your Google reviews page, your menu or the Wi-Fi name and password. See qr sign

Personalised wooden Christmas ornaments

Will they arrive before Christmas?

Order before 10 December. See christmas ornaments

Personalised wooden advent calendar tree
