Is the site accurate 100% of the time?
The Online Store Inc may have prices, descriptions, and text that are not accurate because of typographical/photographic errors or changes not yet reflected in the product descriptions that appear on the site. We are not responsible for descriptive, typographical, or photographic errors. The product colors and finishes shown on our website may vary due to the scanning process and differences in color monitors. We do make every effort to insure that all products are accurately represented, but in some cases, variations may be dramatic. Completion of an order constitutes a waver of any claim due to dissatisfaction with the product colors, textures, stains and grains. You are encouraged to review samples of actual fabrics or finishes before ordering. When a manufacturer does not supply samples in advance, and you are unsure of colors and textures, The Online Store Inc advises that you try and find and then examine a fabric or product before ordering through The Online Store.
