Wholesale Vintage Industrial Tables

By | commercial furniture, dining table, Purchasing | One Comment

We’re working on putting some of our designs into production so we can offer them for wholesale to retail stores, and add trade discounts. Pretty excited about it, as I’ve had so many people asking for it. We’re not in any stores yet, in case you didn’t know, we sell direct right now. I hope to get our Hure table in there first to be offered as a table base, and complete table in two top sizes. And maybe our I Beam table next. Working on a spiffy catalog too. If you are interested, please do let me know. Might be 10-12 weeks before this happens.

Ordering, Shipping, Custom Work

By | Purchasing | 3 Comments

Ordering/More Info:

You can call to place an order (602) 322-1111, email –> sales@retro.net, or use the contact form. We process Visa, Mastercard and Discover payments through Authorize.net which is one of the largest and most trusted payment gateways. We build to order and don’t usually have items in stock.  Lead times vary from 4-14 weeks depending on how busy we are.

Showroom:

We have a 20,000 square foot shop in the downtown Phoenix area. In 2011, we moved into a wonderful historic warehouse which was designed by a Frank Lloyd Wright student back in the 1940s. You are welcome to visit us by appointment. My work is not available in any stores, yet. I do have some work in some restaurants and stores in some major cities which you can see here –> Showroom

Custom Work:

I am more than happy to do custom work for clients, interior decorators, architects, retail shops, restaurants, etc. This includes custom sizes, wood and iron finishes/colors, materials, add casters or remove them, come up with new designs, and more. Since each piece is made by hand, they will have a unique look and vary to some degree from piece to piece. And the wood, since it is natural, varies from piece to piece. No two pieces are alike, which is part of the beauty of it. My goal is for this furniture to look like it was handmade for industrial use more than half a century ago when building techniques were more primitive. So if you are looking for something that looks perfect like it was made yesterday in an Ikea factory, maybe this isn’t for you.

Lead Times:

Lead times vary, depending on the order. Since we’ve opened our doors it’s varied from 4 – 14 weeks.  SO PLAN AHEAD, DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE! We can sometimes expedite orders for an additional fee.

Shipping:

You are welcome to pick up your piece if you are in Phoenix. Shipping prices depend on the item and how it’s shipped. Coffee tables usually range from $100-$300, side tables $80-$175, via Fedex Ground. Larger items will be shipped freight which typically runs $300-$500. Freight shipping includes insurance and is curbside which means it will be dropped off at the curb on a pallet. All items will be packaged with care and insured with a signature required for delivery. Casters are not usually insured unless requested. We are not responsible for damage during shipping, unless it was due to poor packaging on our part. PLEASE INSPECT YOUR ITEM WHEN IT IS DELIVERED! IF THERE IS DAMAGE, DO NOT ACCEPT IT. They will return it to us and we will file an insurance claim and/or repair it.

Bulk Ordering:

Bulk orders may receive discounts (ie. you need 3 or more of the same design). Order 10 tables and I can get the price down even more. If my cost goes down, then so does yours.

Returns/Terms:

In stock items are returnable within 7 days from the date received for a full refund (minus shipping) as long as it is in new condition. Please call me if there are any problems. Client is responsible for return shipping charges if applicable. I want each client to be happy with their purchase and I understand that the piece may not fit your home once you get it there. Custom orders are non-returnable. Each piece is guaranteed to be free from defects for 60 days. If the item needs repair after the 60 day period (ie. you dropped it down the stairs), I can usually fix it for a modest charge with shipping at your expense. For caster returns there is a 20% restocking fee.
