Groove Furniture warrants that it will, at its option, repair or replace any cabinets, doors, shelves, drawers and various ancillary items (such as hardware components attaching to the cabinets, doors, drawers or shelves) that suffer a failure due to a defect in the materials or manufacturing process within one (1) year from the date of purchase.

Please note the Groove Furniture Warranty is not transferable or assignable.

For the warranty to apply This warranty applies only to the original purchaser of Groove Furniture products used for normal, personal, domestic and household purposes only.
