Please view our Help page for details and exclusions.
How long will it take?
Each piece follows a clear timeline: order confirmed → production → quality check → delivery. Estimated delivery windows are shown on every product page, and we’ll keep you updated along the way.
Can I make changes after ordering?
Edits to finishes or quantities are possible before production begins. Address changes can be made anytime before shipment. Once in production, orders cannot be canceled.
What should I expect on delivery day?
If White-glove delivery is included, our partner schedules a time, brings the piece inside, places it in your room of choice, and removes packaging. Please ensure clear access and have someone present to sign.
What if something goes wrong?
If your item arrives damaged, refuse delivery and contact us right away with photos. We’ll arrange a repair, replacement, or refund. Because each piece is made to order, returns are not accepted unless the item is damaged.
Are there additional fees?
No. The price you see at checkout includes all taxes, tariffs, and delivery services—nothing is due at the door.
Payments are accepted via credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, or Shop Pay, provided you have a valid billing and shipping address in the United States. We accept Visa, American Express, Discover, and Mastercard.
When placing an order, ensure your billing address matches the address linked to your credit card; otherwise, we cannot process your order.
All transactions are secure. The KANSO website uses SSL encryption to protect personal and payment information.
