Quality
Whether you choose easy-assembly or ready assembled, we only offer you quality furniture using quality materials that are built to last.
Solid wood furniture
The most luxurious of all our furniture. It shows the natural beauty of wood with its grain, knots and variations of colour that can change over time, to give your furniture its unique characteristics and look.
Wood veneer furniture
They look similar to solid wood, but cost a fraction of the price. They use thin layers of real wood to create more decorative finishes.
Wood-effect finish furniture
This material has all the look of solid or veneer wood but for a fraction of the cost of the real thing. Some wood-effect finishes also have an embossed grain-effect that feel like real furniture too.
Wood-effect furniture has some advantages over real wood too: it's easy to wipe clean, the colour and appearance is more even and it's stain-, scratch- and warp-resistant so it's especially ideal for younger families. A wood-effect finish is a heavyweight foil or paper veneer, which is fixed to MDF or particle board.
Melamine
This is wood-effect furniture which is specially coated to be extra durable and scratch-resistant.
Glass furniture
Glass can brighten up any room by creating a sense of space, openness and light. It's also colour neutral as you can use it with any pattern or colour no matter how many times you change your decor.
Safety first: All our glass has passed the British Safety Standards BS6202 and is tempered so that it's much stronger glass.

Measure up - make sure that it will fit
So it always makes sense to measure your space first. To visualise the size, it is a good idea to lay out newspaper to the size of your furniture so you can see how much room it takes up.
Don't forget to allow for extra room for the chairs or any extension leaves that may be built into the table.
All our furniture is measured in centimetres. In order to assist you with your measurements, please refer to our conversion chart:
| 1 inch = 2.54 centimetres |
1 centimetre = 0.394 inches |
| 1 foot = 30.5 centimetres |
1 metre = 39.4 inches |
| 1 foot = 0.305 metres |
1 metre = 3.28 feet |
You should also consider any awkward angles or narrow hallways and stairwells etc that need to be negotiated - especially for ready assembled furniture.
Should you envisage any delivery problems regarding access to your home, please mention these when placing your order. e.g. You live in a block of flats and the only access for large goods is via the buildings goods lift at the rear of the building.

Keeping your furniture looking its best
Cleaning & polishing
Wax polished or hard lacquered furniture should just be dusted with a soft dry cloth.
Waxed furniture should be given a coat of beeswax a couple of times a year to keep its natural shine and lustre.
Spray polishes are convenient but always read the label: avoid those with silicones as these can build up over time and spoil the natural beauty of your furniture.
Glass should be cleaned with a glass cleaner.
Acylic should be cleaned with soapy water, but don't use anything abrasive.
Seeing the light
Natural light will mellow the colour of wood or wood veneer furniture over time. So until the wood colour has fully matured, any extension leaves in a table should be fully extended and display items like a vase or bowl should be regularly moved.
Avoiding the heat
Wood is a natural product, so whilst it can cope with most temperatures, it is best to avoid having radiators, fires or other sources of heat next to your furniture.
A lack of moisture or humidity caused by central heating or air conditioning can cause solid wood to warp.

What is Buy Now Pay Later?
Buy Now Pay Later is an interest bearing option that allows you to delay payments on your purchases for up to 12 months. The delayed payment period starts from the date of order (including pre-ordered items and those not ready for immediate dispatch).
You can choose:
A delayed payment period of 12 months and then a repayment period of 104 weeks when you spend £50 or more.
A delayed payment period of 12 months and then a repayment period of 156 weeks when you spend £99 or more.
How interest is calculated?
Interest will be charged for the delayed payment period and the chosen repayment period.
Interest is calculated and compounded daily at a typical rate of 44.9% per annum for the delayed payment period and repayment period and is charged to your account at date of order as a lump sum. This calculation factors in the planned payments that are requested during the repayment period. Your interest rate is personal to you and will be detailed in checkout.
How to avoid paying interest?
You can avoid paying all interest for both periods by paying the cash price before the end of the delayed payment period. This can be done in one full payment or multiple partial payments.
Making partial payments may result in a portion of the lump sum of compound interest being refunded at the end of the delayed payment period.
Remember if you choose not to pay the full cash price before the end of the delayed payment period any outstanding balance plus the lump sum of compound interest applied at the date of order will become payable.
How do I make a Buy Now Pay Later payment?
To make a full or partial payment simply log into My Account, choose "Make a payment", select "Pay Buy Now Pay Later" and allocate your payment to the specific item(s) you wish to pay off. Alternatively, you can call us.
What happens after the delayed payment period?
If you have not made any payments towards your Buy Now Pay Later, the outstanding balance plus the lump sum of compound interest will be payable across your chosen repayment period. This will now be included in your account minimum payment request each month.
If you have made partial payments, but not cleared the full cash price before the end of the delayed payment period, the outstanding balance plus a reduced lump sum of compound interest will become payable. The repayment amount agreed for the repayment period will remain the same, meaning the repayment period may be shorter than originally agreed.
If you have paid the cash price in full before the end of the delayed payment period, you will not pay any interest.
What is excluded from Buy Now Pay Later?
The costs for delivery, installation services and any warranty and insurance products cannot be placed on Buy Now Pay Later. Buy Now Pay Later availability is subject to your credit and account status.
Do I still have to pay my minimum payment?
Yes, allocating payments to Buy Now Pay Later will not cover the minimum payment for your Littlewoods account. If you have a non-Buy Now Pay Later balance on your Littlewoods account, you will still need to make at least your minimum payment as shown on your statement.
