At J Thomas Home, most of our products are made just for you and your space. Each type of wood has its own unique characteristics, allowing you to achieve your preferred home decor style. This means that each order is specifically cut and finished for you and your space, and cannot easily be returned or resold to another customer. Therefore, we want to do everything we can to get the order right on the front end and we need your help! I know you're almost done with your project and you're excited to get your shelves started but take the extra time to double check everything prior to placing an order to make sure it's what you want. We know that designs change, plans get re-done and mistakes do happen. It is very difficult to change/modify existing orders and sometimes not possible (we have to start over). This includes ordering samples and double-checking the measurements of your space to ensure the dimensions are correct. Please plan your project carefully. While we acknowledge that changes and mistakes can occur, it becomes challenging for all parties involved once an order has been initiated and alterations or cancellations are requested.

The good news is that most issues can be prevented and we are here to help! We have structured our company around helping to make your dreams a reality and we're here to offer as much assistance as possible through the process. This includes building an information-rich website, providing how-to videos, and maintaining a world-class customer service team. We enjoy answering all your questions to ensure a smooth buying process from start to finish. Please reach out via phone, email or book a design consultation!

Lead time is how long it takes to produce, pass quality assessments and ship your order. Shipping time is the time it takes to get to your door.

Our lead time begins when the order has been purchased. If there are any changes made to the order, the lead time could be affected.

We strive to keep our lead times as short and accurate as possibly while having enough time to produce a high quality product. Lead times aren't a guarantee of shipping date. With any made to order product they can fluctuate and we may need just a little more time to get your items just right. We will communicate any changes with you.
We do have rush processing available. Please view our FAQs page or contact us to discuss those options.
