⚠️ Please Note: A reference photo of our Antique White stain is included as the final image in this listing. Because wood naturally absorbs stain differently, achieving very light or true white tones can be challenging. We want to be fully transparent that some customers find the Antique White finish to appear warmer or less bright than a pure white. Variations in tone and grain are a natural characteristic of real wood and part of its handcrafted appeal.

Handmade Product Notice
-All products from Stumps Custom Wood are handcrafted in our shop and are not mass-produced. Because each item is individually made, natural variations in wood grain, texture, and stain color will occur. These differences are normal and are part of the character of real wood. No two pieces will ever look identical.

-Minor cosmetic imperfections consistent with handmade woodworking may be present. However, we guarantee every product will be structurally sound and built to last. If a structural issue ever occurs, we will repair or replace the affected component.

-Stain Color Variation
Wood is a natural material and absorbs stain differently from piece to piece. The final color may vary slightly from listing photos due to wood grain, lighting, monitor settings, and natural material variation. Exact color matching cannot be guaranteed.

-Gate Installation Notice
Our gates are designed to float approximately 1.75 inches above the floor. This clearance allows the gate to swing freely and operate properly.

-Improper installation—such as mounting the gate so it rests on the ground—may prevent correct operation. Installation instructions must be followed carefully. Issues resulting from improper installation are not considered product defects.

-Production & Delivery Time
Each order is made by hand after purchase.

Estimated production and delivery time is 4–8 weeks depending on current shop workload.

Orders are often hand-delivered for large or fragile products to ensure safe arrival. Because these are handcrafted items, our focus is quality and durability rather than rushed production.

We appreciate your patience while we build your order properly.

-Order Accuracy
Please review all measurements, options, and customization details carefully before placing your order. Once production begins, modifications may not be possible.

-If an order is placed incorrectly, we will do our best to help find a solution, but we cannot guarantee changes once materials have been cut.

-Custom & Made-to-Order Policy
Because our products are custom made specifically for each customer, all sales are final.

-We do not offer refunds or cancellations once an order has entered production. Etsy policies require sellers to fulfill orders as placed.

-If an issue arises with your order, please contact us and we will work with you to find a reasonable solution whenever possible.

-Damage or Structural Issues
If your order arrives with damage or a structural issue, please contact us with photos within 48 hours of delivery. We will repair or replace the affected part as needed.
