During busy times (like Christmas and Easter), things might take a bit longer, so plan ahead to avoid any last-minute stress!

Are acrylic items fragile?
Yes. Our items are designed for display and everyday use, however it can be fragile if dropped, bent or pressure is applied - especially during handling and installation. We recommend handling with care at all times.
What happens if my acrylic item is damaged?
All acrylic items are checked before collection or dispatch. Once an order has been collected or delivered in good condition, Lou James Creations cannot be held responsible for damage that occurs during handling, installation or use.
If an item is damaged after collection or delivery, repairs may be available for a fee depending on the extent of the damage. If a repair is not possible, a full replacement will be charged at the original item price. All repairs and replacements are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
We recommend using strong adhesive suitable for acrylic and avoiding pressure when installing.
Why does my wood look different to the product image?
Wood is like a fingerprint - every piece is unique!
That means your item might have slight variations in color, grain, or texture.
These arenβt flaws; theyβre part of what makes your creation extra special.
